4S
require greater shock absorber
resistance
than the owner who
drives
at
moderate,
peed ovur paved highways,
Care
The only care the shock absorbers
require is replenishing
the
glycerine in the reservoir and the lubrication
of the connections
The fille
r
plug in the reservoir
should be removed at intervals
of 5,000 to 10,000 miles, and the reservoir filled with glycerine
(Commercial).
NEVER
REPLENISH
WITH
OIL.
Oil will
solidify in the winter or reduce resistance and will not mix with
the glycerine in the instruments.
In
warm climates,
replenish
with glycerine,
C. P.
or Com-
mercial.
All instruments
contain
glycerine
with
10%
alcohol.
Where temperatures
of zero and below are prevalent,
add
an
additional
1 2
to 1 ounce of alcohol.
Lubricating
Shock Absorber Connections
The ball joints are made in unit with the instrument
arm and
spring perches. They are hardened
and ground. The
ball
joint
seats are enclosed
in
he shock absorber connecting
links which
should be lubricated
every 500 miles with the compressor
gun.
In order to secure maximum
riding comfort, it is important
that the spring hangers be free in the bu
11
h ings and kept well
greased.
SPEEDOMETER
The speedometer
with which your
car
is equipped
indicates
the speed and records the mileage of your car.
It
also helps you
in maintaining
an accurate
lubrication
schedule.
Rese

t
h.e
Trip Odome
te
r
To reset the trip odometer
simply pull out the knob on the
speedometer.
By turning
the knob you can reset the figures at
any tenth of a
mile
desired, or back to zero. After resetting
the
odometer be sure to push the knob back to its original position.
Lubrication
The flexible shaft should be lubricated
every 5,000 miles.
Care should be exercised not to bend the shaft in a radius smaller
than
7 ".
For maximum
service we recommend that every 10,000 miles
the speedometer
be cleaned, lubricated
and recalibrated.
When
this is necessary
or when repairs
are required consult
an au-
thorized Ford dealer.
All speedometers
are sealed when they leave the factory.
Under no circumstances
should this seal be broken
or repairs
attempted
by the owner.
