CAR ARRANGEMENT, PARTS, ADJUSTMENT, CARE
1. Oil cup on shackle bolt or loop pin. Fill every week with medium cup
grease giving one half turn every second day.
2. Right front spring. Loosen the small clips No. 47, clean off all
dirt and grease with a brush dipped in kerosene, and jack up the frame,
which will open the leaves. Force graphite between the leaves, let the
frame down and wipe off all the grease that is forced out, in order to
avoid the gathering of dust and grit (see chapter on Spring Care).
3. Front lamp. Keep brackets and vibration rod well tightened. Wipe
lens with a damp cloth (inside and outside), and polish with tissue
paper. Adjust or focus both lamps so that the center rays will strike
side by side 45 feet ahead of the car. Push the light bulbs well into
the sockets, otherwise a dark spot will appear in the center. Test the
wire connection plugs occasionally for weak springs or sticking contact
pins.
4. Radiator (see chapter on Cooling Systems).
5. Radiator Cap. Grease or oil thread occasionally.
6. Radiator connecting hose (see chapter on Cooling Systems).
7. The fan. It usually operates on a ball and cone bearing, which must
be kept well adjusted and greased to prevent a clattering or rumbling
noise.
8. The fan belt. This should be well tightened to prevent slipping,
which will cause over-heating. Apply belt dressing occasionally to
prevent dry-rot and cracking.
9. Adjust the starter chain from time to time by setting down the idler
gear.
10. Metal tube for carrying the high tension leads to the spark
plugs. Remove the wires from the tube when overhauling and tape worn
insulation.
11. Spark plugs (see chapter on Spark Plug Care).
12. The horn. Keep connection tight, clean gum and old grease off the
armature and adjust the brushes when it fails to work.
13. Priming cups. Cover the threads with graphite or white lead and
screw them into the cylinder head tightly to prevent compression leaks.
14. Horn bracket. Keep well tightened, to prevent vibration.
15. Clutch pedal. It can usually be lengthened or shortened to
accommodate leg stretch, oil and grease bearings, and connecting joint
each week.
16. Primer or choker, which operates the air valve on the carburetor.
17. Steering column.
18. Steering wheel (see chapter on Steering Gears).
19. Horn shorting push button.
20. Spark control lever.
21. Gas throttle control.
22. Transmission (see chapter on Transmission).
23. Brake rods (see chapter on Brakes).
24. Universal joint (see chapter on Universal Joints).
25. The frame.
26. Emergency brake leverage connection.
27. Service brake leverage connection.
