CERBERA  SERVlCEI-WORKSHOP  �NUAL 

WARNING :  During the charging process  Hydrogen 
and  Oxygen gases are produced.  This gas  mixture can 
explode if flames sparks or lighted  tobacco are 
brought near  the  battery.  For this reason it  is  essential 
that  the charging  area is well ventilated, thus  avoiding 

the gases  to  become  concentrated. 

NOTE:  The  charger should  be  switched off  during  all 
connection  and  disconnection  procedures. 

1) 

Ensuring that  the  charger  is off,  connect  the  posi-

tive 

(+) 

cable  (normally  coloured  red)  to the  positive  ter­

minal  of  the  battery  (This  is  the  only  terminal  that is 

accessible  whilst  the battery remains in the  Cerbera). 

2) 

Connect  the negative 

-

) cable  (normally coloured 

black)  to  the engine as indicated 

in 

the diagram. 

3) 

Switch on the charger,  and charge  until  the battery 

is fully  charged.  (As per  the charger's instructions). 

CAUTION :  If  charging the  battery whilst it  is still 
connected to  the  car a trickle  charger  giving  out no 

more  than 

amps must be used as  a larger amp charg­

er will cause damage to other components. 

4) 

Once  the  battery is  charged,  switch of the charger 

and  disconnect  the leads. 

CAUTION :  Over  charging  the  battery  may  cause  per­
manent  damage,  and  effect  it's  reliability. 

Cleaning Recommendations 

Exterior  Cleaning 

By Hand. 

The  body  work can  be washed using a mild  detergent or 
specialist car  shampoo.  A low  pressure  hose  pipe  should 
be  used  to  rinse the  vehicle.  Specialised  cleaners should 
not  be  used  when cleaning  the  road  wheels. 

Using 

a power wash. 

Power  washing the bodywork is  quite  acceptable. 
However,  do  not  spray the high  pressure jet directly at 

the paintwork,  or  the door/window seals. 

Automatic  car wash 

The  use  of  automatic  car washes  is  not  recommended  as 
the  door /window seals are not designed to withstand 
the direct force of high pressure  water jets.  Also,  the 

detergents used  and the cleaning action of the brushes 
may damage the  paintwork. 

Interior  Cleaning 

Vinyl/Leather 

Vinyl and  leather  should  be  cleaned  with a damp cloth. 
However, a little mild detergent or  proprietary 
upholstery cleaner may  be  required to remove ingrained 
marks.  Leather upholstery  will  benefit  from a  periodical 

application of  H.ide  Food. 

CAUTION:  Care should  be taken  when  cleaning  the 

steering wheel,  gear  lever  or  pedals,  as  most cleaning 

products  will leave a slightly slippery surface layer 
which can be extremely dangerous during driving. 

Carpets 

Carpets  should  be cleaned  regularly  with a vacuum 
cleaner  to remove dust and  dirt.  Mild  detergents  and 

warm  water  may  be  required  to  remove any  difficult 

marks or  stains. 

Engine  Bay  Cleaning 

Cleaning the engine bay should be  done by hand. A 
Power  or Jet  washer  MUST  NOT  be  used.  It  must  be 

ensured that water  is not spayed or  poured directly on 

to  any  electrical equipment or connection.  If this is 
allowed  to  happen damage may  be caused to  the cars 

electrical circuits, leading  to  break downs, and 
expensive repairs.  This applies  particularly to the 
throttle potentiometers, lambda sensors and crank 
sensors.  If such connectors  become  damp spray with  a 
moisture repellent  e.g.  Mech.  oil etc.
