ubrication Schedule
The complete lubrication schedule is given on the opposite
page. If faithfully followed, the schedule will provide correct
lubrication of each wearing surface on the car. The items
listed in the schedule are illustrated in the "Lubrication
Chart" supplied with this manual, which will assist the
operator in locating the various lubricating points.
You will note that the schedule calls for a lubrication
operation each one thousand miles. After 1,000 miles of
driving, lubrication No. 1 is due, at 2,000 miles No. 2 is due
etc. At 13,000 miles the schedule begins again with No. 1.
The schedule is expressed in mileage intervals because
most cars are driven 1,000 miles or more each month, and
lubrication is required after 1,000 miles of driving. If the
mileage each month is less than 1,000, the car should be
lubricated once each month, regardless of mileage.
In addition to the operations included in the lubrication
schedule, there are several other items of maintenance
regularly required which are listed here for your convenience:
Shock absorber fluid
Brake fluid
Cooling system
Gasoline lines and strainers
Interchange tires (See page 63). .
