Accelerator Pedal. The accelerator pedal, located to the left of
the starter pedal (fig. 9), is used to open and close the c~
buretor throttle valve.
Clutch Pedal. On models equipped with 3-, 4- and 5-speed trans-
missions the clutch pedal is conveniently located for use by the
driver's left foot (fig. 9). It is used to engage and disengage
the clutch, thereby connecting the engine to or disconnecting it
from the transmission and drive line to rear wheels.
NOTE: Never drive with the foot resting on the clutch pedal
as this produces undue wear on the throwout bearing and other
parts.
Brake Pedal. The brake
pedal is located to the right
of clutch pedal (fig. 9). De-
pressing this pedal applies
the hydraulic service brakes
at all four wheels in propor-
tion to the pressure applied
on the pedal.

els equipped with 4- or

transmission,
the
parking brake is applied by a hand type lever extending up
through the floor. With all other transmissions the parking
brake is applied by a trigger type lever mounted on the steer-
ing column support under the instrument panel.
The parking brake lever is connected by rod and cables to
the rear wheel brakes on some models and to a propeller shaft
brake on other models. The propeller shaft brake is either a
band-type or shoe-type depending on the model and trans-
mission option. "
