28 OPERATION
WINDSHIELD POSITIONS
Under ordinary conditions, sufficient ventilation in the front compart-
ment is provided by the cowl ventilator. Additional ventilation for warmer
weather is provided for by the adjustable upper and lower sections of the
windshield.
Open Cars
To secure greater ventilation in the front compartment of open cars, the
lower section of the windshield should be tilted in. The thumb screws half
way up the windshield standards must be loosened before the lower section
can be moved and should be tightened afterwards. If still greater ventila-
tion is desired, the upper section may be tilted toward the driver.
The rubber strip between the windshield glasses must be removed before
either the upper or lower section of the shield is tilted inward.
Closed Cars
To secure greater ventilation in the front compartment of closed cars,
the upper edge of the lower section of the windshield should be tilted out-
ward. To do this, loosen the thumb screws at the sides, lift the handles
until the lower edge clears the weather strip on the cowl, and then push
outward. Tighten the thumb screws when the windshield is in the open
position.
Inclement Weather
The normal position of the windshield for inclement weather is with
the upper and lower sections closed, and with the removable rubber strip
between the glasses. If rain or snow should freeze on the glass, making it
impossible to clean it with the windshield wiper, the upper section may be
tilted out at a slight angle. This is known as the "rain vision" position.
FOOT REST FOR FOOT THROTTLE
The foot rest for the foot throttle can be adjusted to any height which the
driver finds most convenient. To raise the foot rest first loosen the lock nut
on the foot rest support under the toe board. Then turn the nut above the
toe board clockwise until the desired height is obtained. Tighten the nut
under the toe board. To lower the foot rest, proceed in the same manner
but turn the nut counter-clockwise.
TOOL BOX
A compartment for tools is provided in the right hand dust shield. The
hinged door of the compartment forms a part of the dust shield and is
locked with the switch key. To open the tool box door insert the switch
key and turn the nickel plated handle to the right. Do not attempt to turn
the key in the lock. Insertion of the key unlocks the handle.
