1962-1971 Triumph Vitesse Service & Repair Manual

TRIUMPH Herald 1200, 12/50, Vitesse and Spitfire Models COPYprGHT RESERVED

INTRODUCTION This Workshop Manual, which is in loose-leaf form, has been compiled to assist Standard-Triumph Distributors and Dealers throughout the world in the efficient repair and maintenance of Herald 1200, 12/50 Vitesse and Spitfire models. The information most frequently required is given in the preliminary pages and includes:-the Introduction, General Specification, Unit reference numbers, Vehicle dimensions, Nut tightening torques, Special tools, Recommended lubricants and Lubrication summary, Jacking system and a short glossary of part names and alternatives. Whilst retaining the same grouping system used for Service Information Sheets and previous Workshop Manuals, this book introduces an additional group having the designation "0". This section gives recommendations for "running-in", together with instructions for carrying out the "Customer Preparation Service", detailed periodical lubrication and regular maintenance operations listed on the back of vouchers contained in the Maintenance Voucher Booklet accompanying each new vehicle. A lubrication chart is provided at the end of the section. Dismantling, assembly and adjustment procedures for the complete vehicle are divided into six groups numbered one to six. Each deals with one major unit and associated parts, except group six, which deals exclusively with the electrical system. Each group is preceded by a detailed specification and dimensions. Special Tools The use of special tools mentioned in the text, contributes to an efficient and profitable repair. Some operations are, in fact, impracticable without their use, particularly those, for example, which deal with the assembly of the differential unit. Distributors are therefore urged to check their tools against the list provided and order those necessary. Numbering Pages and Section The running headline, at the top of the page, names each section within a group. For example, group one contains four sections, namely: Engine, Cooling, Fuel and Exhaust Systems, these being numbered 1 to 4 respectively. The group number is shown at the top outer edge of each page and is followed by a decimal point. Each section number is placed after the decimal point following the group number. Two numerals placed after the section number are used to identify the pages which comprise a particular section, thus page S of the cooling section would appear 1.205. Service Information and Amendment Procedure , rmation and amendment sheets are issued to the motor trade on/y and are not forgeneralpub/icution. Design moaifications, changes in procedure and notice of amendment subsequent to the preparation of this manual are given in Service Information Sheets which are issued regularly to all authorised dealers. Should existing instructions be affected or additional information be warranted, new pages will be included with each consecutively numbered notice of amendment. This will also give details of the pages and groups affected. See page 31. + To ensure that this manual is kept up to date, Distributors and Dealers are advised to write the amendment number, the page number and the group num%er in the space provided on the page preceding Group "0" as the amended pages of text are inserted. Any gaps in the sequence of amendment numbers will then be readily apparent and immediate action can be taken to obtain the missing sheets. Schedule of Repair Operations The operations listed in the "Schedule of Repair Operation Times" refer to those described in this manual. The time set against each operation in the schedule is evolved by performing the actual operations on a standard vehicle using special tools where stated. The "Schedule of Repair Operation Times", for use with this manual, is issued as a separate publication and may be obtained from the Spares Division under Part Number 511225. Page 5
