INSTRUCTION BOOlC 4S
require greater shock absorber resistance than the owner who
drives
at moderate, peed ovur paved highways,
Care
The only care the shock absorbers require is replenishing the
glycerine in the reservoir and the lubrication of the connections
The filler plug in the reservoir should be removed at intervals
of 5,000
to 10,000 miles, and the reservoir filled with glycerine
(Commercial).
NEVER REPLENISH WITH OIL. Oil will
solidify in the winter or reduce resistance and will not mix with
the glycerine in the instruments.
In warm climates, replenish with glycerine, C. P. or Com-
mercial. All instruments contain glycerine with
10% alcohol.
Where temperatures of zero and below are prevalent, add
an
additional
1
2
to 1 ounce of alcohol.
Lubricating Shock Absorber Connections
The ball joints are made in unit with the instrument arm and
spring perches. They are hardened and ground. The
ball joint
seats are enclosed
in he shock absorber connecting links which
should be lubricated every 500 miles with the compressor gun.
In order to secure maximum riding comfort,
it is important
that the spring hangers be free in the bu 11hings and kept well
greased.
SPEEDOMETER
The speedometer with which your car is equipped indicates
the speed and records the mileage of your
car. It also helps you
in maintaining an accurate lubrication schedule.
Rese tti ng th.e Trip Odome te r
To reset the trip odometer simply pull out the knob on the
speedometer. By turning the knob you can reset the figures
at
any tenth of a mile desired, or back to zero. After resetting the
odometer be sure to push the knob back to
its original position.
Lubrication
The flexible shaft should be lubricated every 5,000 miles.
Care should be exercised not to bend the shaft in a radius smaller
than
7 ".
For maximum service we recommend that every 10,000 miles
the speedometer be cleaned, lubricated and recalibrated. When
this is necessary or when repairs are required consult
an au-
thorized Ford dealer.
All speedometers are sealed when they leave the factory.
Under no circumstances should this seal be broken or repairs
attempted by the owner.
