maintained to within one-quarter inch of the top of
the reservoir (Fig. 50).
CAUTION:
Before removing the master cylinder
cover and screw, wipe them clean to prevent dirt
and other foreign matter from dropping into the
reservoir.
Replenish fluid, when necessary, with Hi-Temp
Brake Fluid, Part Number 2421352, for best perform-
ance.
Inspect brake hoses for cracking, abrasions, cuts or
tears in the outer covering. Examine all connections
for fluid leakage and correct where necessary.
PARKING BRAKE MECHANISM
AV-1, AV-2 Models use a hand-operated parking
brake lever (Fig. 51). AR-1, AR-2, AP-1, AP-2 Models
use a foot-operated lever (Fig. 52). Pivot points in-
dicated should be lubricated with a light film of Lu-
briplate, Part Number 1064768, applied directly to
the parts.
When the hand lever can be pulled out more than
four inches, or the foot pedal depressed more than
four and one half inches, the brake cable should be
adjusted at the rear of the front section, refer to
Parking Brake Adjustment in Group 5.
H EADLAMPS
One of the most important factors in automobile
safety, is the correct aiming of the headlamps.
Changes in suspension, such as front suspension
height and/or deflection of rear springs due to heavy
loading, will change the headlamp beam pattern and
may cause unsafe night time driving conditions.
If a vehicle is to be loaded abnormally, such as for
a vacation trip, or with a salesman's products, the
headlamp aiming should be checked and adjusted to
serve the new conditions. Refer to Lighting System,
Group 8, for servicing procedures.
WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES
Long exposure to heat and road splash tend to
harden the rubber wiper blades, thus destroying their

efficiency. When blades smear or in general do not
satisfactorily clean the windshield, they should be re-
placed.
To replace, depress the release on the top of the
blade bridge and slide out the rubber blade. Slide the
new rubber blade refill into the bridge to lock
it
in
place. Refer to the Parts List for the correct rubber
blade refill.
PARTS REQUIRING NO LUBRICATION
There are many points that should not be lubri-
cated, some because they are permanently lubricated,
some because lubricants will be detrimental to their
operating characteristics, and some because lubri-
cants will cause component failures. In any event,
rubber bushings should not be lubricated, not only
because lubricants
will
cause rubber to fail, but also
will destroy their necessary friction characteristics.
The following parts should not be lubricated.
Accelerator Pedal
All Rubber Bushings
Alternator Bearings
Brake Linkages (Passen-
ger side of Dash Panel)
Carburetor Air Cleaner
(Paper Element Type)
Clutch Adjustment
End Rods
Clutch Release Bearings
Drive Belts
Fan Belt Idler Pulley
Rear Springs
Rear Wheel Bearings
