The air filter screen should also be cleaned at 2,000 mile intervals. This is accomplished
by removing top cover screw (E) and cover (F). Before replacing the screen and cover,
carefully examine screen (G) and gasket (H) and renew if necessary.
STARTING, LIGHTING AND IGNITION
The battery is located in the left front corner of the engine compartment, where it is
easily accessible for servicing.
It is of the 51 plate type, 120 ampere hour
capacity and has the positive post grounded.
REGISTRATION — So that you may re-
ceive the full benefits of the battery manufac-
turer's Guarantee and Adjustment Policy,
which covers the battery, be sure your dealer
has registered the battery with the National
dealer. If not, this should he done within thirty
(30) days after you have taken delivery of your
car.
CARE — The battery is protected from
being overcharged by a voltage regulator. At
intervals of 5,000 miles, when the engine is
tuned up, the regulator will be checked for
voltage setting.
The electrolyte level in the battery should be maintained at opening above the top of the
plates.
At least twice a month in warm weather and once a month in cold weather, the level
should be checked and distilled water added to restore it to the proper height. When adding
water in cold weather, do so immediately before driving the car, or else run the engine for
a short time to insure the distilled water mixing properly with the battery solution. Unless
this precaution is taken, freezing and battery damage may be experienced.
The generators used on all models are of the fully ventilated, high output type with third
brush adjustment and voltage regulation. The generator is driven from the crankshaft
through a "V" type, adjustable fan belt which also operates the water pump.
The maximum output on all models is 44 amperes cold and 38 amperes hot.
The term "hot" means after the engine has been run about 15 minutes at a speed correspond-
ing to 20 miles per hour.
