Atom 3 Owner Manual

Post by NYAtom » Sat Jul 13, 2013 11:04 pm

Does anyone have a PDF or link to the atom 3 owners manual?  Alternatively, does anyone know the recommended motor oil, diff oil and transmission oil?  Part number for the K20 oil filter?  Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I'm currently procuring an owners manual. Might consider having it PDF'd if theres enough interest from the field in terms of obtaining a copy.

Cheers

Chris.

Best not have it PDF'd as that would make me very upset...

I put a lot of work into the handbooks and therefore feel justified in charging for them.

I don't think the factory would be too pleased either!

Bruce owns all the rights to these, the majority of it is his handiwork - and it was certainly his idea in the first place!  :tu:

Gotcha. Apologies. Didn't realise these were under ownership.

I'll stand down :)

Hi,

Just wondering how i would get my hands on one of these Bruce? I'm after an owners manual for my atom 3 I just recently purchased, I'm a complete novice and don't have much idea on keeping it in shape so this would be great start for me to keep on top of it. Any format is fine pdf or physical.

thanks noel

Bruce has sold his Atom and pretty much withdrawn from the Atom community although he does seem to read the forum from time to time ..

He did pass on all his artwork and printer-ready PDFs to the club (thanks Bruce :tu: ) but I'm not sure if that means they're freely available.

Bear in mind that although invaluable, it's not a Haynes type manual, more of a handbook.

a PDF would be fine, do you know of anyone with a copy to email me? i agree it would be invaluable to me for just general care.

I have the hard copy owner's manual, but it is based on the Atom 2 so parts of it are not relevant for the 3, and are even less relevant to the 3.5. However, it is still very useful - as has been said it is not your typical owner's manual, and in many ways, is all the better for it!

There isn't one, that was what I was trying to say.

I have this lot. The 3.5 came with the car, the other two came from the club I'm sure.

I want to keep them and I'm not sure about Bruce's copyright etc. The factory gave me the 3.5 one a month ago so they should have one to sell. Equally given the 3 exists I'm sure someone on here would sell, or the club might have some old stock.
