AIR CONDITIONER OPERATING TIPS
Always operate the Air Conditioning System with all
windows and vents closed to eliminate drafts, wind and
road noise. The cover plate furnished should remain
installed over the engine air recirculating slot during
the season when cooling is required. This plate should
be removed, and stowed as shown, when outside tem-
peratures are continuously below 60
0
F.
For the best system operation at altitudes over 4000
ft., reduce the cooling output slightly.
Run the system for five minutes every week to lubri-
cate seals and moving parts.
