Instruction manual

REPAIRS
The instructions regarding repairs should be clear and definite, otherwise the cost may
be greater than that expected. We shall be pleased to give estimates for repairs if
parts are sent to us for that purpose. If the estimate is accepted, no charge is made for
the preliminary examination, but, should it be decided not to have the work carried out,
it MAY be necessary to make a charge to cover the cost of whatever dismantling and
re-assembly may have been done to prepare the estimate.
Customers desiring that old parts which are replaced with new during the course of
overhaul or repair be retained must make the fact known prior to the work being put
in hand because, normally, such parts, having no further useful life, are scrapped upon
removal-
Parts sent to us as patterns, or for repair, should have attached to them a label bearing
the sender's full name and address. The instructions regarding such parts should be
sent under separate cover.
If it is necessary to bring a machine, or parts, to the Works for an urgent repair, IT IS
ESSENTIAL you MAKE AM APPOINTMENT beforehand to AVOID DISAPPOINT-
MENT. This can be done by letter or telephone.
CORRESPONDENCE AND ORDERS
Our routine is organised into different departments, therefore delay cannot be avoided
If matters relating to more than one department are contained in one letter.
Consequently, it is desirable, when communicating with more than one department,
to do so on SEPARATE SHEETS, each of which should bear your name and address.
When writing on a technical matter, or when ordering spares, it is essential to quote
the COMPLETE ENGINE NUMBER. Some numbers have one, or more, letters
incorporated in them and these letters MUST BE QUOTED, otherwise model identifi-
cation is not possible.
Orders should always be sent in list form and not as part of a letter.
Owners are strongly advised to purchase a Spare Parts List so that correct part numbers
can be quoted. Most parts are clearly illustrated in this list which makes it very easy
to recognize the part or parts required.
