JUMP STARTING
To jump start the Morgan Plus Four, connect the positive jump starting power
supply first to the positive terminal on the battery. Connect the negative terminal
of the jump starting power supply to a good earth on the chassis or battery.
NOTICE Great care must be taken to avoid short-circuits when jump-starting
a vehicle.
WARNING Not connecting jump-starting cables correctly may result in
damage to a vehicle’s electrical system.
TOWING
The Morgan Plus Four must not be towed behind another vehicle. If for any
reason the car needs to be transported using means other than the vehicles
engine it should be done using an appropriate car transporter. If this is not an
option then the car should be towed with the drive wheels (rear) off the ground.
WARNING Towing the Morgan Plus Four with the drive wheels on the
ground will cause damage to the transmission system.
NOTICE: It is always best whenever possible to transport a vehicle using car
transporters rather than towing a vehicle. When moving a vehicle using car
transporters secure the vehicle using wheel chocks and wheel tie down straps. Do
not secure the vehicle using the towing loop, bodywork or suspension components.
Towing Trailers
The Morgan Plus Four is not designed for use as a towing vehicle for either
towing trailers or other vehicles.
WARNING Do not use a Morgan Plus Four to tow trailers or any
other vehicles.

in-line with the front jacking point (marked with a red arrow) on the left side
of the vehicle.
NOTICE: If your vehicle does not have a square hole cut in the undertray
to access the lever on the gearbox, please call either your nearest Morgan
Dealership or Roadside Assistance.

Moving the Vehicle When
the Engine Cannot Start
(Automatic Gearbox)
If your car is fitted with an automatic
gearbox and the engine cannot be started,
the gearbox will be locked, preventing
the vehicle from being pushed or rolled,
for example, onto an appropriate car
transporter. To unlock the gearbox, the
neutral lever on the gearbox must be
engaged using the tool provided in the tool
kit to operate the release mechanism.
