_Carburetor Adjustment for High Altitude_ The carburetor is carefully
calibrated to provide efficient operation. Studebaker dealers are
acquainted with the adjustments which are needed for high altitude
operation.
_Brake Adjustment_ The self-adjusting brakes on your car are
self-compensating for lining wear and require no adjustment. They are
properly set at the factory.
With each application of the brakes, however, the linings wear and,
after a time, new linings should be installed to provide the maximum
braking area and to avoid damage to the brake drums. When the lining
needs replacement, the self-adjusting feature ceases to operate. When
this occurs, the brake pedal free travel will increase and the driver is
warned that the brakes need relining. If your brakes do not operate
satisfactorily, see your Studebaker dealer.
_Clutch Pedal Travel Adjustment_ Clutch pedal free travel is the
distance the pedal moves forward before resistance of the release
mechanism is felt. When the free travel is greater than one inch (25,4
mm.) or less than one-half inch (12,7 mm.) adjustment should be made by
your Studebaker dealer.
_The Hill Holder_ (on cars so equipped) should be checked and adjusted
if necessary whenever the clutch pedal travel is adjusted.
_Fan Belt Adjustment_ To insure efficient fan, water pump and generator
operation, it is important that the fan belt is not over-tightened. Any
readjustment should be performed by a Studebaker dealer.
_Front Wheel Camber Adjustment_ Camber adjustment is properly set at the
factory ½° greater on the driver’s side of the car than on the other
side. Should a front end alignment check reveal need of camber
readjustment, it should be set as nearly to ¾° on driver’s side and ¼°
on the other side as possible. In any setting, the driver’s side camber
should be ½° more than the other side.
_Body Drain Holes_ All drain holes should be kept open to prevent
accumulation of water.
The door drain holes are easily cleared with a pen-knife or other flat
instrument which can be inserted in the holes and run back and forth a
few times to loosen any congestion.
Body drain holes should be cleaned by the serviceman.
