The recommendations and instructions given in the Manual ore based on our accumulated experience up to date. As further ex- perience is gained, or if design modifications ore introduced, all SAAB general agents and service shops will be informed accordingly, either through Service Information Bulletins or through complementary pages for the loose-leaf edition of the Service Manual. The Service Information Bulletins should be kept in a special binder, while complementary manual pages should be inserted in the appropriate position according to their chapter, section and page numbers. The Service Manual, the Repair Timetable and the Spare Parts List are arranged in the same order as the Repair Timetable issued by the Swedish Automobile Servicing and Retailing Employers’ Association. This arrangement in similar groups facilitates the use of the different publications. Description This comprises a brief description of the design and construction, intended primarily for those wishing to become more familiar with the construction and function of the car. Shop instructions Technical data such as dime ions, tolerances, torque ratings, etc., will be found in chapter O. These sections include detailed descriptions of all service jobs and are primarly intended for servicemen who are not familiar with work on the Scab. They include plenty of illustrations, in the belief that a good picture is often more instructive than a lengthy explanation. ‘SAAB-SCANIA AUTOMOTIVE GROUP Car Division TROLLHATTAN SWEDEN Nov. 1970? 2 v Produced and edited by Technical Publications SAAB-SCANIA, Trollhattan, Sweden Nov. 1970,oct. 1969 CHAPTER 010 020 030 CHAPTER 100 101 102 no CHAPTER 200 201 210 21 214 215 216 27 221 222 231 232 233 234 CHAPTER 300 311 321 322 331 341 0 SPECIFICATIONS, TROUBLE SHOOTING General Specifications Trouble Shooting 1 TOOLS, SERVICE, MAINTENANCE General hints Special tools Various tools Service inspections General Lubrication Washing and polishing Underbody- and rustpreventing treatment 2 ENGINE Description Removal and installation of engine body Engine body Removal and installation Cylinder head Valve mechanism Transmission Crank mechanism Oil pan Lubricating system Oil pump Oil filter Fuel system Carburetor.

The first voucher is for the Delivery Service which is carried out before the car is handed over to the customer. The second voucher is valid for a free service inspection after 1,200 miles (2,000 km). Oil is to be paid by the ‘car owner. The remaining vouchers are for service in- spections carried out at intervals of 6,000 miles (10,000 km) ond for which fixed prices ore charged. Lubrication service and changing oil are included in the maintenance service, implying that the driver will have to do without his cor for the shortest possible time, os servicing ond lubrication ore carried out simultaneously. In order to ‘carry out these service inspections efficiently, o special place in the workshop should be reserved for them. This Part of the shop should be fitted with all necessary equip ment for lifting the car, checking wheel clignmen!, lubrication, adjusting headlamps, ete 110-1TOOLS SERVICE MAINTENANCE LUBRICATION: LUBRICATION General Proper lubrication is vital to good car maintenance ond must on no account be neglected. The car should be lubrication serviced at intervals of 6000 miles (10,000 km) for at least twice © yeor, subject to the use of SAAB Special Chassis Grease ond to a strict watch being kept ‘on the condition of rubber boots and seals. Lubrication service is therefore included in the regular service inspec. tions carried out at intervals of 6000 miles (10,000 km, for which vouchers are provided in the Service Book. The intention is for service inspections and lubrication to be carried out at the same time by an approved ser vice shop, thus reducing to @ minimum the time during which the owner must do without his car NOTE Always use only SAAB Special Chassis Grease for greasing jobs. It is available as a spare port under reference SAAB Special Chassis Grease. The greose is stocked both in a cartridge pack (length 9:33 in. or Z37 mm, diameter 209 in. or 53 mm) for @ monvol grease gun and in drums. Vorious makes of manual grease gun designed to take these grease cartridges are available, e.g. "Tecalemite model 2840-Ta, with hose 110 B. Hf, for some particular reason, SAAB Special Chassis Grease is not used, lubrication must be carried ou! more frequently, i.e. ot intervals of 3000 miles (5000 km) SAAB Special Chassis Grease must not be mixed with ordinary chassis grease, so that either the one or the other must be used. In some types of lubricating plant, difficulty may be ‘experienced in feeding the grease to the grease pump. In such cases, 0 feeder lid can be fitted to the drum Suitable lids are obtainable from suppliers of lubricating equipment, Cleanliness is o matter of the utmost importance during lubrication work, as itis during all work on the cor, and ‘great care must be taken to avoid leaving grease marks on bodywork or upholstery, WARNING Coution must be observed when using SAAB Spe- ial Chassis Grease, as if spilled it may, in some coses, damage the paintwork of the car.

Use water only, as additives tend to dry out the enamel. If washing with water does not suffice, however, o week soap solution (not more than 2%) can be used, but grect care must be token to remove all troces of it from the car after washing. This is best done by the generous use of water and thorough sponging. Never wash the car in strong sunshine, and ‘lways dry the enamel with a clean chamois lecther. 1 the car is left to dry naturally in the sun, lime in the woter may cause pate Polishing Generally speaking, synthetic enomels should never be polished until polishing is absolutely essenfiol. In ony ‘event, the enamel must not be polished until it hos hardened properly, which takes about 5 or 6 months, The purpose of polishing is to impart an attractive ap- earance to the enamel finish and to provide it with fots to prevent drying-out. Never use polish containing ‘an abrasive on a new car. Treatment of this kind moy. possibly be necessary after @ number of years in order to remove oxidation products and suchlike from the finish. Always clean the car thoroughly before under. taking ony form of polishing, os otherwise the finish will get scratched. Waxing After polishing, he car con be waxed. As with polihing, @ new car should not be waned vnfl ot leat 5% months after enameling. After rubbing in the wos on & small oreo ot a time, rub the surface very thoroughly to remove all accumulations of wax. ct. 1968 130-1 sansMAINTENANCE Underbody- and rustpreventing treatment TOOLS SERVICE A MAINTENANCE UNTERBODY COATING AND RUST- PREVENTIVE TREATMENT Touching-up of underseal To retain the advantages afforded by undersecl com- position, the underbody, too, should be regulorly inspect- fed and the underseal touched up as necessary. Apart from protecting against corrosion, the underseal im- proves sound insulation. This protection is particularly important with regard fo the fenders, which are con tinuously exposed to wear from a constant barrage of flying stones and gravel. Before covering worn or bore parts with fresh underseal composition, clean the metal thoroughly with @ scraper ond a steel-wire brush and then wash with gosoline or suchlike. Before plying ‘of rust inhibitive, and then apply an approx. 0.06 in, (1.5 mm) coating of composition before the rust inhibi- tive has dried. Excessive application will result in the ‘composition running and it may even pull right away from the metal which itis intended to protect. Naturally, new metal panels, such as fenders, must always jlar manner after fitting. If underseal is applied prior to spraying it is essential that all com- position be washed off the surfaces which are to be enameled. Rust-preventive treatment SAAB cars are given an underbody coating before they leave the factory In spite of this there is risk of corrosion due to salt and other preparations used on the roads. The underbody coating is subject to constant wear from gravel and We therefore recommend that the underside of the car be examined at least once a yeor. This is particularly important in areas where cars are specially liable to corrosion. Where necessary the car can be given a rust: preventing treatment by the application of some well known type of rust-preventing treatment by the appli cation of some well-known type of rust-preventive by a specialist firm. Treatment with rust-inhibitives In order to prevent corrosion, the body should be treated ‘once © year with reputable moke of rustinhibitve, proceeding in the manner prescribed by the manufac turer thereof.
