LIFTING THE VEHICLE
It is recommended that the vehicle is only lifted using a professional workshop post
lift or hydraulic ramp. Wheels should be changed at a Morgan dealership where
the vehicle can be raised using specialist equipment. In an emergency, a jack may be
used to raise the vehicle sufficiently to clear a trapped obstacle from underneath.
NOTICE : Care should be taken not to damage the brake pipes, wiring or any
other components. Care should be taken to avoid burns if the exhaust is hot.
WARNING Lifting a vehicle when using a jack can be dangerous. If the
vehicle falls off the jack at any time you or others may be seriously injured
or even killed.
WARNING Never lift a car when the engine is running.
WARNING Before lifting the vehicle, ensure the road wheels in contact
with the ground are suitably chocked and the handbrake is engaged.
WARNING If using a jack, only lift the vehicle at the reinforced jacking points
(illustrated, red arrows) on the chassis. If using a garage post lift, position
the front support arms further forward under the chassis leg (amber arrows).
Red arrows: Reinforced jacking points on the chassis. Amber arrows: Position for
post lift support arms.
MAINTENANCE CHECKS
In this section will be found information necessary to maintain the car in good
mechanical condition in a temperate climate. Details of the intervals of service
may be found in the schedule at the back of this book. The time between
examinations is dependent on many things, particularly the type of use and the
road conditions. In dusty, extreme, or arduous conditions, the time between
services must be reduced. If a car is not in use for long periods the need for
regular attention is as great as for a vehicle in everyday use. The following details,
along with services from a Morgan distributor or dealer, will help to prolong the
life and enjoyment of the car.
