    Driving

    Avoid frequent and violentacceleration.

    Do not carry any unnecessaryweight as it overloads theengine.

    Avoid using devices requiringhigh power consumption duringslow traffic conditions.

    Monitor fuel consumptionregularly and if it shows a risingtrend, get it attended at Tataauthorised workshop.

    Switch off engine during longstops at traffic jams or signals. Ifsituation demands that engine

    1.2 Environmental protection General

    be kept running, avoid frequentrevving up of engine. Also avoidfrequent stopping andrestarting, if uncalled for.

    It is not necessary to rev up theengine before turning it off as itunnecessarily burns fuel.

    Shift to higher gears as soon aspossible. Use each gear upto2/3rd of its maximum enginespeed. A chart indicating gearshifting speed is given in themanual.

    Maintenance of the vehicle

    Ensure that recommendedmaintenance is carried outregularly at Tata authorisedworkshops.

    As soon as you see any leakagesof oil, fuel, air or coolant get itattended immediately.

    Use only recommended gradesof lubricants and clean/uncontaminated fuels.

    Get your vehicle checked foremission periodically by Tataauthorised workshop.

    Ensure that fuel filter, air filter, oilfilter, breathers are periodicallychecked and if required, replacethe same by only genuine parts.

    Do not pour used oils orcoolants into sewage drains,garden soil or open streams.Dispose used filters andbatteries in compliance withcurrent legislation.

  • 6 Do not allow unauthorisedagencies to tamper enginesettings or to carrymodifications on the vehicle.

    Never allow the vehicle to runout of fuel, which results inmisfiring of engine.

    Parts like brake liners, clutchdisc may contain asbestos. Usevacuum cleaner for cleaningthese parts. Do not usecompressed air for cleaningthese parts which may spreaddust in atmosphere.

    While carrying out servicing orrepairs pay keen attention tofollowing parts which can affectexhaust emissions.

    3. Maintain correct tyre pressure toensure better tyre life.

    4. Always fit genuine radiator capfor pressurised cooling system.

    5. New tyres do not givemaximum grip straight away andshould therefore be run-in atmoderate speeds for first 100km. This will help to make tyreslast longer.

    6. New brake linings must alwaysbe run-in, they do not haveoptimum friction propertiesduring first 200 kms.

    7. Avoid mixing of different gradeof lubricants or clutch fluidsduring top up.

    8. Run the engine in low idlingspeed for atleast three minutesafter starting and beforeshutting off. (Applicable forturbocharged engine)

    9. Always start moving the vehiclein first gear.

    10. Operate engine in correcttemperature range i.e. between60OC & 100OC.

    11. Engine oil / coolant levels haveto be checked daily. Drain waterfrom fuel water separator daily.

    12. In case of air lock in fuel system,bleeding should be done onhigh pressure side of fuel filters,drain manifold and highpressure lines. Ensure that liftpump operation is satisfactoryand proper fuel delivery takesplace while bleeding out air.

    13. Avoid cranking of engine formore than 30 seconds. A gap of2 minutes should be leftbetween successive attempts.

    14. Check battery every week andtop up electrolyte, if necessary.Keep battery terminals clean andcable joints tight. Apply vaseline/petroleum jelly on terminals.

    15. Watch service indicator of drytype air filter (Euro II). Indicationof same is given on instrumentcluster. If it blinks continuouslythen clean the air filter housingand replace primary cartridge.

    16. Observe correct polarity whileconnecting alternator terminalsand battery cables.

    17. For operating vehicles inextremely cold climates andhigh altitudes contact Tataauthorised workshop to seekadvice.

    18. Do not use kerosene as fuel. Itreduces engine and fuel pumplife.

    1.5 Body building General

    Body building guidelines

    It is important to ensure that the bodyis fitted to chassis in such a way thatthe load imposed is transmittedcorrectly. At the same time the rigidlymounted body must flex with theframe. Care should be taken toensure that body and chassis arecompatible. An example of badselection would be the constructionin which a short body is made on along wheel base. In this case, itbecomes necessary to shortenchassis rear overhang toaccommodate body. As a resultcentre of gravity moves forward anda greater load than that desirable isimposed on front axle.

    It is also essential that carefulconsideration be given to movementor modification of electrical wiring,electrical equipments, brakeconnections, brake piping, extensionof chassis rear over hang, relocationof chassis components to ensuregood performance in operation.

    Post to waist rail joints

    Gusset plates are welded toU-channel / Z-channel waist rail.

    The welding of the gusset to thewaist rail should be intermittent.

    Wheel arch dimensions

    To accommodate wheels, side frameis formed to a suitable shape calledwheel arch.

    To prevent tyre fouling with body onbad roads, recommended dimensionsof wheel arch should be maintained.

    Position of roof luggage carrier(for LP model)

    Roof luggage carrier should be placedto get the centre of gravity ahead ofrear axle centre line (min . 500 mm).Height of roof luggage carrier shouldbe minimum in order to reduce windresistance.

    Outrigger for door post

    When a door has to be located at aplace where cross bearers cannot bemounted due to positioning ofchassis aggregates at that location,outrigger assembly should be madefor door post.

  • 12

    Notes

    1. Keep body weight minimumby selecting proper materialsand designs. This will save fueland increase tyre life.

    2. Use curved window glass, avoidsharp corners and protrudingout destination boards toreduce wind resistance.

    3. Select body dimensions,seating space and gangwaywidth to comply with currentgovernment regulations.

    4. Ensure ease of removal andassembly of various aggregateslike gearbox, suspension,battery, spare wheel etc.Provide flaps/cut outs forservicing.

    5. De-rust, phosphate and applyprimer to the body skeletonbefore fixing panels.

    6. Use zinc plated hardware ofstandard quality for variousbody joints.

    7. Protect instrument panel,steering wheel, drivers /co-driver s seats, clutch fluidcontainers, hoses etc. fromdamage while carrying outstructural work.

    8. Do not drill or weld chassisframe or remove any rivet. Donot use chassis or leaf spring aselectrical earthing point duringwelding.

    9. Do not clamp bus body crossbearers to chassis crossmembers.

    10. No body mountings should foulwith any chassis aggregate orframe cross member.

    11. Avoid practice of cuttingchassis cross member formounting of U bolts.

    12. Do not extend chassis rearoverhang.

    13. Avoid eccentric mounting ofcross bearers.

    14. Do not use balata packing morethan 6 mm thick for crossbearer mounting. This willresult in premature perishingand damage to chassis longmember. In case thickerpacking is required, use steelplates to compensatealongwith 6 mm balata packing.

    15. Avoid U bolts touching chassislong members. This should bedone by using aluminium alloypacking between U boltbottom radius and longmember bottom flange.

    16. As far as possible, avoid postlocation over wheel arch.

    17. No modification to front faceof cowl should be attemptedwhich would restrict air flow tothe radiator and air cleaner.Reducing the height/width ofcentre flap or closing louversprovided on cowl front faceare to be avoided.

    1.5 Body building General

  • 13

    18. No restriction should be placedbeneath the remote mountedair filter. Provide sufficientclearance for fitment andremoval of air cleaner.

    19. Air intake hoses are not to bedisturbed during bodybuilding. However, if hoses areremoved for any reason, coverturbocharger / air after coolerand intake manifold openingswith suitable plastic caps toavoid dust foreign particlesentry, till such time hoses areconnected back. Clampsshould be properly tightenedduring this operation.

    20. Do not reroute air intake,coolant and fuel lines.

    21. Do not keep auxiliary tank capopen so as to avoidcontamination of coolant withdust and foreign material.

    22. Disconnect battery andalternator connections beforestarting any electrical weldingon chassis/body.

    23. Protect radiator / air aftercooler from weld spatters andexternal mechanical hitting,which might damage the coreof radiator / air after cooler.

    24. Protect auxiliary tank fromweld spatters and mechanicaldamage. Use proper cover toprotect radiator and auxiliarytank during welding in theirvicinity.

    25. Do not use suspension springpack for earthing or to checkcontinuity while carrying outarc welding. Welding spatterswill lead to breakage of springleaves.

    26. Additional air connections foraccessories like air horn, etc. tobe taken only from port 24(auxiliary port) of systemprotection valve. Suchconnections should not betaken from either service brakecircuits or parking brake circuit.

    27. Provide suitable hinged flapson the body skirt to facilitatedraining of air tanks and todrain water from fuel waterseparator.

    28. Do not allow body builder todrill holes on chassis frame orextend rear overhang.

    29. Do not flash alternator leads tocheck for current flow.

    30. Do not mask head lamp lenswith black paint. If done, thiswill reduce head lamp lightintensity.

    Body building

    Load body should be mounted withthe help of U bolts and must not befixed on to the chassis with the helpof bolts and nuts by drilling holes inchassis frame. This weakens thechassis frame which is liable to crack.

    Do not reinforce, weld or drill holesin the chassis frame. Use six U boltsto fasten the runners on either sideof chassis long member. Tighten Ubolts nuts (M 16 x 1.5, - 8.8 quality)to 22 mkg. torque.

    2.6 Turbocharger Know Your Vehicle

    Turbocharger (Euro II)

    Lubrication of the turbocharger

    Rotor assembly of turbocharger issupported by two floating leadbronze sleeve bearings in thebearing housing. These bearings arelubricated with finest filtered andcooled oil from lubrication system.There is a heat shield arrangementprovided between turbine housingand bearing housing to avoid heatingof the bearings.

    Advantages of turbocharger

    Turbocharged engine has followingadvantages over naturally aspiratedengine of same size and weight.

    1. Increased power is obtained withthe same engine dimensionsthereby increasing the power toweight ratio. Thus, the engine islighter and payload value of thevehicle is improved.

    2. A turbocharged engine has alower specific fuel consumption,so the vehicle consumes less fuel.

    3. Turbocharger reduces blacksmoke in the exhaust.

    4. Loss of engine power at higheraltitudes is much less making itideal under all operatingconditions. Especially in hillyareas, payload capacity is furtherimproved by this aspect.

    5. Turbocharger acts as an additionalsilencer on exhaust side, thusreducing engine noise.

    Maintenance of turbocharger

    No adjustments or repairs are to becarried out on the turbocharger. Incase of doubtful performance from

    the engine because ofmalfunctioning of turbocharger, takeyour vehicle to Tata authorised workshop.

    Following precautionary measuresshould be taken to obtain troublefree performance.

    1. During regular engine inspection,look carefully for any oil leakageat the oil inlet banjo connectionon bearing housing. Do not runengine unless leakage at thispoint is rectified.

    2. Do not stop the engine suddenlyas it may damage rotor bearings.Allow engine to idle for atleast3 minutes before switching it off.Similarly, do not increase enginespeed suddenly.

    Run the engine at low idle speedfor atleast 3 minutes after startingto build up oil pressure beforeincreasing engine speed.

    3. Since the speed of rotor assemblyis tremendously high, (nearly1,00,000 rpm) it requires finestfiltered oil. Therefore, ensurecleanliness of engine oil byadhering to regular schedules ofengine oil and oil filter cartridgechange intervals.

    4. As the unfiltered dust particlesentering compressor housingmay prove dangerous, make surethat there is no leakage in airintake system and that air filterelements are in good conditionand sealings are perfect.

    5. Insist on use of onlyrecommended grade of engineoil, genuine engine oil filter andair filter cartridges.

    Driving, Gear shifting, Breaking

    DRIVE SAFELY AND JUDICIOUSLYRemember SAFETY FIRST.

    Do not keep driving till you areovercome by fatigue. The reflexes ofa tired driver are not as they shouldbe.

    1. Before you drive, ensure thatvehicle is in a road-worthycondition. Especially checksteering system, tyres, brakes,clutch etc.

    2. Release parking brake.

    3. Depress clutch pedal fullybefore shifting gears. Forsmooth starting of vehiclewithout jerks, synchroniserelease of clutch pedal withpressing of accelerator pedal.

    4. Gear Shifting

    Vehicle should be started infirst gear only.

    Engaging position for variousgears are shown on gear knob.Change gears at appropriatespeed and do not lug theengine by too early high gearchanges at low speed.

    Reverse gear should only beengaged when vehicle has beenbrought to a complete stop.

    Approximate speeds for gearchange.

    5. While driving, left foot must notrest on clutch pedal. This causesabnormal wear of clutch liningsdue to clutch slippage.

    6. Slowing down the vehicleshould be achieved by changingdown to lower gears.

    7. Maintain a steady speed, avoidquick acceleration and suddenbraking. High speed driving savesyou a little time but increasesfuel and oil consumption. It alsocauses faster tyre wear.

    3.2 Driving Driving

    We, therefore, recommended todrive in fifth gear at a steady speedof about 70 kmph. Optimum fuelconsumption is achieved at thisspeed

    CAUTION DURING RUNNING INPERIOD

    During first 2,000 km. observefollowing speed and load limits.

    Speed

    Not more than 70 kmph in top gearand correspondingly lesser in lowergears.

    Load

    Gross vehicle weight should notexceed 2/3 of max. recommendedgross vehicle weight.

    Brakes

    Avoid panic braking during first500 kms. Drive in lower gears whennegotiating steep down gradient,thus avoiding excessive braking andbrake drum over heating.

    8. Application of brakes

    Brake application should begradual to avoid fast wear ofbrake linings, brake drums andtyres. Brake should not beapplied too violently on aslippery road, since the vehiclemay then start skidding.

    When driving down a long steepgradient, reduce vehicle speedby shifting to lower gear.Engine will provide a braking

    effect. Do not ride brakes. Thiswill lead to over heating of brakedrums and linings resulting inlow brake efficiency.

    9. Parking the vehicle

    Apply parking brake. Keepengine in low idling speed atleast for three minutes (Turbocharged engine). Switch offengine. Remove key fromsteering lock cum ignitionswitch. While parking on slopes,place wheel chokes to preventvehicle rolling. Engage forwardgear if it is likely to roll in thereverse direction or vice versa.

    Hand brake system

    Hand brake is integral with springbrake actuator on rear axle. Springbrake chamber piston ram actsdirectly on push rod assembly ofbrake chamber.

    Engine exhaust brake

    Exhaust brake operation is coupledwith service brake. Whenever brakepedal is depressed for applyingbrakes, exhaust brake also getsapplied and indicator lamp (E) comesON instrument panel.

    Stop light switch provides signals bothfor rear tail lamps as well as forexhaust brake solenoid valve.

    Solenoid valve opens, allowingcompressed air to flow to exhaustbrake air cylinder, thus operatingexhaust brake butterfly valve.

    Since exhaust opening is restricted,road wheels will drive engine, whichwill act as a compressor (resistor),thus retarding vehicle speed.

    Use of engine exhaust brake resultsin increased life of brake linings,brake drums & tyres.

    Isolator switch (Exhaust brake)

    In certain situations like starting ofvehicle on an upgradient,simultaneous acceleration and partialbraking of vehicle are required.Isolator switch can be used to cut offair supply to exhaust brake aircylinder, by putting it in off(disengaged) position. Isolator switchshould be put ON (engaged), as soonas isolation requirement is over.

    3.3 Stopping the engine Driving

    Operating instructions

    1. Ensure air pressure in the systemis above 5 bar.

    2. Change to lower gearappropriate to road conditions.Exhaust brake is very effectivebelow 40 kmph speed.

    3. Do not depress clutch as thiswould render exhaust brakeineffective.

    4. Press brake pedal fully whenvehicle is to be brought to astop.

    Lubricating exhaust brakelinkages

    1. Every 9,000 km. a few drops ofoil should be applied to ball pinsof outer linkages and frictionsurface.

    2. Butterfly valve shaft, which ismade of heat resistant material,should not be lubricated,since the lube oil would causeseizing of the butterfly valve inits housing.

    Stopping the engine

    After parking the vehicle in safeplace.

    1. Release accelerator pedal.

    2. Move gear shift lever to neutralposition.

    3. Apply parking brake.

    4. Turn ignition key to ACCposition. A timer will switch onfuel stop solenoid for about 5seconds which operates fuel

    shut off valve and fuel supply iscut off. Engine will stop. This shutoff timer is aborted in case youturn ignition key again to ONposition within 5 seconds.

    5. Turn the key to lock position.

    6. Take out key from steering lockcum ignition switch. Slightly turnsteering wheel clockwise or anticlockwise (max. 180o), till clicksound is heard, to make sure thatsteering wheel is locked.

    3.4 Special operating conditions Driving

    Flame start system (BERU):

    Flame start system is provided forconvenient starting at coldconditions by heating the intake airby means of burning the diesel in airintake manifold.

    Pre-glow time of just 20~45seconds

    Trouble-free starting even atlow temperatures

    Post glow (after starting theengine) time of up to 3 minutes

    The flame start control unit controlsthe supply of current to the indicatorlight, flame glow plugs and solenoidvalve. It evaluates the signals fromstarter motor in Ignition ON positionvia Temperature transducer (BERU)in alternator running condition.

    The pre-glow phase commenceswhen the ignition is switched on attemperature below the system stoptemperature.

    The indicator light comes on steadyand power is fed to flame glow plug.

    Once the pre glow time has passedthe indicator lights starts to flash. Thisindicates to the operator that theengine can be started. Powercontinues to be supplied to theflame glow plugs. If the engine is notstarted during this period, the flamestart control unit switches off theflame glow plugs and the indicatorlight.
