f the bearing in any manner. When lubricating, the
bearing should be cleaned and High Melting Point Wheel Bearing
Grease applied. The importance of properly adjusting wheelbearings
after lubrication should not be overlooked.
UNIVERSAL JOINTS-Lubricate the three universal joints every
25,000 miles with high melting point wheel bearing grease.
SPEEDOMETER DRIVE CABLE-Lubricate speedometer drive
cable when dry. A dry cable is usually noticeable by a wavering
speedometer reading. A very dry cable will of course be noisy. Use a
suitable speedometer cable grease that will not become hard and stiff
when cold.
GEARSHIFT CONTROLS-The gearshift control linkage is lubri-
cated at assembly and requires further lubrication with Lubriplate
No. 105 only when parts become dry and sticky.
SHOCK ABSORBERS-Front and rear shock absorbers should be
checked for leaks and their operation tested by jouncing the car at each
lubrication. If inoperative, or leaks are found, the unit must be replaced.
TOR-At each lubrication period fill the oil cups with engine
the oil reservoir in the commutator end bearing becomes com-
exhausted through failure to lubricate at regular intervals, it
more than a single filling to restore the reservoir. In such a
case, the oil cup should be filled three times consecutively, allowing
time between fillings for the oil to soak down into the reservoir.
CAUTION: Do not oil with engine running.
CARBURETOR-No lubrication required.
STARTING MOTOR-No lubrication required except on overhaul.
DISTRIBUTOR-The hinge cap oiler should be filled with S.A.E. 20
oil at each lubrication. When replacing contact points add a trace of
Delco-Remy Cam and Ball Bearing Lubricant or equivalent to the
breaker cam. No other lubrication is required. Contact points should
be completely free of lubricant at all times.
CLEANING CARBURETOR AIR CLEANER AND CRANKCASE
VENTILATORS-The standard carburetor air cleaner should be
cleaned and re-oiled in the spring and fall, or every 10,000 miles. If
the car is operated in areas where dust conditions are severe, service
every 2,000 miles or more often if required.
