Ignition
Switch Control
The ignition switch is located'on the instrument panel just to the right of the steering column. The key-hole is
illumi-
nated by
pulling
the headlight switch to cither position. The ignition switch has two positions in addition to
"Off."
When
the key is turned to the left of the "Off" position, only the tempera-
ture
gauge,
ammeter,
fuel
gauge,
and accessories are operative.
When
the key is turned to the right of "Off" position, the ignition
system is also turned on.
Starter Button
The
Cadillac
starter
button is located on the instrument panel just
above the ignition switch. To
start
the engine, place the transmission
selector lever in neutral,
press
accelerator pedal
slowly
to the
toe-board and
release
(in order to set automatic choke), then turn on
ignition
switch and
press
starter
button. CAUTION: Do not hold
starter
button in longer than 5 seconds at one time. When starting a
hot engine, hold accelerator pedal down
halfway
while pressing
starter
button.
Should
the engine be flooded, bold ac-
celerator down to the toe-board and
press
starter
button at five-second intervals
until
engine
starts.
2
Transmission Control
The
Cadillac
Synchro-Mesh transmission
control
lever is located
beneath
the
steer-
ing
wheel on the right. It is operated in the conventional manner. If your car is equipped with the
Cadillac
Hydra-Matic
Drive,
see the instructions which begin
on
page
10.
*
Turn
Signal
Control Lever
The turn signal control lever is located handily on the steering column opposite the shifting lever. When turning right, move control lever up; when turning left, move control lever down. Lights flashing, both front and
rear,
indicate to other drivers the direction you intend to
turn. A red flasher on the
speedometer
face indicates when the signal
is
flashing. When the steering wheel is returned to the straight ahead
position,
the lights go off and the control lever
returns
to normal
position
automatically.
'
Headlamp Control
To
operate
the headlamps,
pull
the switch
knob out all the way. To
operate
the
parking
lights,
pull
the switch knob to the
halfway
position. The "Sealed Beam"
driving
lights used on your
Cadillac
car
provide a country (upper) beam, which
illuminates
the road for a considerable distance ahead of the car, and a traffic (lower) beam, which eliminates glare in on-coming drivers' eyes. The beam selector switch is located on the toe-board and is operated by the driver's left foot. When using the country (upper) beam for
driving,
a red beam indicator, located on the
speedometer
face, lights up. Never
pass
an approaching car with this light burn-
ing.
Panel lights ordinarily are on when the switch is in either first or second position, although they can be turned off by rotating the knob all the way to the right. Their brightness is controlled by
turning the switch knob to right or left.
:5
.? Hand Brake Operation
Your
Cadillac
is equipped
with
a parking brake independent of the regular foot­operated braking system. The handle is conveniently
located at the driver's left just below the instrument panel. To apply brake,
pull
handle straight back. To re-
lease»
turn the handle left and it
will
return to normal position.
# Driver's Seat Adjustment
The adjustment of the front
seat
is ac-
complished
easily by
lifting
the lever at
the
base
of the
seat
on the left-hand side,
sliding
the
seat
backward or forward
until the position is comfortable, and releasing the lever to
lock
the
seat.
O
Ventilating System
Nothing
adds
so much to the enjoyment of
Cadillac
motoring as the
ease
of
controlling
ventilation to suit the occupants. Great care has
been taken to work this out satisfactorily.
Cadillac
All-Weather
Ventilation
permits
adequate
air circulation at all times, even under adverse weather conditions when windows must be closed. There are two ventilating
passages
behind the radiator
grille
that
permit
the delivery of air to the
driving
compartment through screened
openings.
Control
of this system is maintained through valves,
operated by knobs located just below each end of the radio
grille.
The knobs can be pulled out to provide the
degree
of ventilation
desired.
Each
ventilator is also provided
with
a door to deflect the
air
inside the car.
9 Windshield Wipers
The button for the control of windshield wipers on your
Cadillac
is
located centrally above (he instrument panel at the
base
of the
windshield
division
moulding. The windshield wipers are operated
by
turning this button to the right.
An
excellent
means
of cleaning your windshield while
driving
can be
secured by installing a
Cadillac
Windshield
Washer. This washer
does
away
with
those
dangerous moments when the
windshield
is
smeared
with
road spray or mud from passing cars. To
operate,
press the button below the lower left of the instrument panel, and water will
be sprayed on the windshield to assist the wipers in cleaning.
'
Cigarette Lighter and Ash Tray
For
the convenience of smokers,
Cadillac has provided a cigarette lighter on the bottom of the instrument panel, to the right of the radio
grille.
This lighter is operated by pushing in on the knob. When
heated, it
will
click
out for use. An ash tray is built into the right side of the panel
grille.
# Cadillac Electric Clock
A
fully
automatic electric
clock
is an integral
part
of the instrument
panel design. The
reset
knob is located below the
clock
on the instru-
ment panel flange on all series, except the 62 and 60
Special
on
which
it
is located on the glove compartment, door. The regulator arm is
on
the back of the
clock
in all series.
4
Radio Control Panel
When
Cadillac
cars are equipped
with
radios, the controls, including
the control for the vacuum operated antenna, are neatly and conven-
iently
grouped above the radio
grille
in the center of the instrument
panel.
There are 7 push button controls and 2 knob controls. Press
"ON-OFF"
button to turn radio on;
press
again to turn off. A red
warning
light glows on the
dial
when your radio is on. To
tune
the
radio,
depress
one of the
five
selector
buttons
or use manual control knob to the left of the selector buttons. For
tone
selection,
press
button marked
"TONE"
until
desired effect is obtained.
Volume
is controlled by turning knob lo­cated to right of push buttons. This knob also raises the aerial when pushed in and lowers
the aerial when pulled out.
You
mav select any
five
of the. most popular radio stations in your
area of reception for automatic tuning.
Ml
that
is necessary to adjust
the push
buttons
is to
follow
the
three
steps
listed below.
1. Starling
with
the lowest
kiloe\cle
station on the left, push the
first
button in
until
it remains latched in.
2.
Rotate the button to the desired station, making
sure
that
tuning
is accurate and reception elear. (Do not
press
button
while
rotating.)
3.
Kepeat operations 1 and 2 for remaining buttons.
Rear View Mirror
A
rear
view
mirror is located
near
the top of the windshield
division
moulding.
This mirror can be rotated on its mounting to accom-
modate all drivers and
seat
positions.
Cadillac Speedometer
The
Cadillac
speedometer, in addition
to speed ami cumulative mileage
indi-
cation,
includes a trip mileage
indica-
tor. This is easily
reset
to zero by one
complete revolution of the
dial.
Push
in
and turn counter-clockwise the
reset
knob located at the bottom of the instrument panel to the right of the steering column.
Oil
Pressure Gauge
Lnder
normal operating conditions,
oilier
than
idle,
the oil pres-
sure
gauge
should indicate approximately 30 lb. pressure. If no
pressure
is indicated, slop the engine immediately and have the
cause
investigated.
Heat Indicator
The heal indicator shows the approximate
temperature
of the coolant
in
the engine. The pointer should register
within
the center
range
except during long continuous
driving
in warm weather, when it
may go slightly beyond
that
point. This condition is not alarming,
as the pressure-operated overflow
will
normally prevent
fluid
losses
at
temperatures
up to
235°F.
When your engine operating tempera-
ture
runs hot on long drives, it is important to remember to check
oil
and coolant levels frequently. Should the indicator show "hot" on
short runs, have your Authorized
Cadillac
Service Station investigate
immediately.
Charging Indicator
A
charging indicator is used to show the "charge" and "discharge"
of
the electrical system. Unless the battery is
fully
charged, the
gauge
pointer should indicate "charge" after the car is operating 15 to 20
miles
per hour. The
gauge
pointer should indicate "discharge" only
when
engine is
idling
or accessories are being used
with
engine
shut
off.
Have your
Cadillac
Authorized Dealer check any irregularities.
6
Gasoline Gauge
The gasoline
gauge
operates
only when the
ignition
switch is turned
either to the right or left position, at
which
time it
will
indicate the
quantity of
fuel
in the tank.
Cadillac Door Locks
Each
door on your
Cadillac
can be locked
from
the inside by pushing down the con-
venient
lock
button as shown. Doors may
also be locked from the outside
with
this button by pushing the button down while the door is open, and then holding the door handle
all
the way down while
closing
the door. Of course
you'll
want
to be
sure
vour door key has not been left in the car.
Locks
on the rear doors of
sedans
are set so
that
both the inside and
outside door handles are inoperative when the
lock
button is
depressed. This is a desirable extra safety
measure
when children
are to be alone in the rear
seat.
To open a door under this arrange-
ment, it is first necessary to
lift
the
lock
button, then
operate
the
door handle. If desired, the locks on the rear doors of
sedans
can he
reset
at any Authorized Service Station so
that
pushing down the
lock
button makes only the outside door handle inoperative. For
your
own protection, and to cooperate
with
law enforcement person-
nel, do not
leave
your
cur
unlocked
when
unattended.
Door "Hold-Open"
A
door
"Hold-Open"
is incorporated in each
door on your
Cadillac.
When a door is
opened
fully,
this device prevents it from
closing
of its own weight while
passengers are entering or alighting. To close door, simply
push
firmly;
no release is required.
Accessory Back-Up Light
Many
Cadillac
owners have their cars
equipped
with
the
Cadillac
Hack-Up
Light. It is located, as illustrated, on the rear of the body on the left side. This light op-
erates
automatically whenever
gears
are
shifted
to reverse, and the
ignition
switch
is
on. Excellent
illumination
is then provided for hack
or
out of narrow or close-bordered drivewavs.

Cadillac Automatic Heating Controls
The controls for the
heater,
which may be
either the
Cadillac
Automatic Heating
System, or the
Cadillac
Ventilating-De-
frosting
Heater, are located on the left-
hand side of the
grille
in the
center
of the
instrument panel.
The
Cadillac
Automatic Heating System works as simply as thermo-
statically
controlled heating in your home. This system has two con-
trol
levers. The left-hand lever, marked "Heat," is the thermostatic
control.
In its uppermost position the
heaters
are off. As it is moved
downward, the
heat
delivery increases.
Maximum
or
"Hi"
heat
is attained when the lever is all the way down. By placing the lever in the position desired for your comfort, the system
operates
auto-
matically
on and off when the ignition switch is on. Temperature
selected remains
constant.
NOTE:
Do not turn
heaters
on
until
engine coolant is at operating
temperature.
This
will
prevent
cir-
culation
of
cold
air.
The right-hand lever (marked "Defr") controls both the fresh air supply to the defroster and the defroster fan. When the lever is in the "Off"
position, the fresh air intake valve is closed and the fan is off.
When
the lever is moved to the vent position, the fresh air valve is
opened but the fan is kept
"Off."
This position is recommended for
ventilation.
In the positions just above and below
"Fog"
the defroster
is
operating, first at low speed, then at high speed for normal defrost-
ing.
At the "Ice" position, the air intake valves are closed and the
defroster is on at high speed, providing maximum
heat
to prevent ice
formation
on the windshield.
Ventilating-Defrosting Heater Controls
The
Cadillac
Ventilating-Defrosting Heater also has two controls,
the
heat
control at the right marked "Heat," and the fresh air control
at the left marked
"Air."
The heal control is "Off" in the central position.
Moving
the lever
upward provides direct circulated
heat
at high, medium, or low
velocity.
Once your car has been brought to a comfortable tempera-
8
ture,
the
heater
motor can be turned off and the fresh air valve
opened to maintain the
temperature
in
mild
winter
weather.
Mov-
ing
the
"Heal"
lever into the lower or "Defroster"
range
reverses
the
air
current direction from the
heater
fan, thereby providing in-
direct heating with maximum defrosting in
three
speeds,
when the fresh air lever is in the "Off" position. For normal indirect heating, put the fresh air lever in the "On"
po-ilion.
The fresh air lever should normally be carried in the "On" position. It can be moved to the "Off" position when maximum defrosting is required to melt ice from the windshield.
License
Data
The engine number, which is also the serial number, is stamped on the car in two places: On the right-hand side of the crankcase, just above the water pump, and on the right frame sidebar just behind
the engine support bracket. It contains figures only, and no letters.
It can be read from the right side upon
lifting
the hood.
The engine number is to be used in license and insurance applications, and in general reference to the car.

Another
forward
step
in
simplifying
driving
is provided by
the
Cadillac
Hydra-Matic
Drive,
which
virtually
elim­inates manual shifting of gears, and provides smooth transfer of power from engine to wheels.
The
Cadillac
Hydra-Matic
Drive
control lever and panel are con-
veniently
placed under the steering wheel. There are four positions
on
control panel: "Neutral" . . . "Dr" . . . "Lo" . . . "Reverse."
The
following
is the correct use of each:
To
Start—Move control lever to
Starter
will
not
function
until
this
is
done.
Turn
on
ignition.
Push
starter
button.
After
engine is started, move control lever
to"Dr,"
press
accelerator, and drive off.
To
Stop — Merely
release the accelerator
and
step
on the foot brake pedal.
To
Back
UpWith
car stopped and en-
gine
idling,
raise control lever and
slowly
and deliberately move to "R," then
press
accelerator. To go forward again, stop car, move control lever to "Dr", and
press
accelerator.
10
*
For Normal Driving
There is no need for you to move the lever from
"Dr" position. Be comfortably re-
laxed.
All
you need think of is steering,
controlling
the speed, and using your
brakes.
«*
When to use "Lo"
The control lever should be moved to "Lo"
when
driving
conditions are such
that
it is desirable to keep the
Hydra-
Matic
Drive
in the lower
gear
range. This
includes
driving
up or
down
long
steep
hills
and
driving
on sandy or muddy roads. As soon as you desire to return to normal driving,
move the control lever to "Dr."
Never
attempt
lo coast
with
the control
lever
in neutral
with
the engine cither on
or
off.
Passing
Cadillac
Hydra-Matic
Drive
insures safer passing by providing a quicker pick-up. An
extra burst of speed is secured by pressing the accelerator rapidly down as far
as it
will
go. This procedure auto-
matically
downshifts the transmission to
3rd
gear,
resulting in increased power and
faster acceleration.
O
Parking on Hills
Your
Cadillac
Hydra-Matic
Drive
will
provide
you
with
safe parking on
hills
or
steep
inclines. Just raise and move the
control
lever to
"R."
With
the engine
shut
off,
this permits
locking
of the
gears
in
the transmission.
11
Proper
Care
of
IMra-Malit
lirivi.
Cadillac
Hydra-Matic
Drive
operation
depends
upon the use of a
fluid
of
very exacting specifications, compounded especially for
Cadillac.
This
fluid
is procurable only from
Cadillac
Authorized
Service
Stations. Any other
fluid
will
prove unsatisfactory and may
cause
serious damage.
Cadillac
Authorized
Service Stations
will
check
the
fluid
level
in your
Hydra-Matic
Drive
every
1,000 miles at the
same
time
that
your car is
being
lubricated. If necessary they
will
add
fluid
to bring
level
up to the
full
mark.
The
Cadillac
Hydra-Matic
Drive
should be
completely
drained and fresh
fluid
supplied at
the end of the first 6,000 miles and every 12,000 miles
thereafter.
If
it should ever be necessary to
start
the engine by pushing or
towing
the car, this can easily be done by pushing or towing
with
the car in
NEUTRAL
until
a speed of 15 to 20 miles per hour is
reached. Then the control lever should be moved to the
"Dr"
position
(not to "Lo") and the engine
will
ordinarily
start
within
a few
seconds.
To
tow a car in
which
the
Hydra-Viatic
Drive
has run out of
fluid,
or
has been damaged in some way so
that
it knocks, slips badly, or
will
not drive the ear, the propeller shaft should be disconnected to
avoid
rotating
parts
of the transmission and possibly causing fur-
ther
damage. An
alternate
method is to tow the car
with
the rear wheels off the ground. There is, of course, no danger in towing a car in
which
the transmission is normal, provided the selector lever
is
in neutral.

Your
Cadillac
engine is a thoroughbred
Better performance
will
be obtained by
the use of
gasoline
having an octane rating
of
80 or more. The use of gasoline rated
lower
than 80 octane
tends
to reduce the
efficiency
of the engine, causing knocks
and pings.
#
Gasoline
Tank Capacity-
Tin-
capacity of the gasoline tank on the 61, 62, and 60S Series is 20 gallons. On the Series 75 and Commercial cars, the capacity is 24 gallons. The gasoline
filler
cap is located under the hinged top
of
the left rear lamp as indicated in the illustration.
#
Engine
Oil Level
Indicator
The combination oil
filler
and crankcase ventilator cap
with
bayonet
type indicator is on the left side of the
Cadillac
crankcase. It is
wise
to have the oil
level
checked each time gasoline is purchased.
Add
oil whenever the
level
is down to the "add one quart" mark, but
add only enough to bring
level
up to the
"full"
mark, or 7 quart
level.
Avoid
overfilling
crankcase, since this may
cause
the oil to foam. The copper gauze in the cap should he cleaned in gasoline, then dipped
in engine oil each lime the engine oil is changed.
# Radiator Filler Cap
The radiator
filler
cap is located under the hood. The coolant should
be checked every time gasoline is purchased. The correct
level
is
one
inch
below the bottom ol the
filler
neck.
When
removing the
filler
cap from a hot engine,
rotate
the cap
toward the left
until
the first stop is reached. This is the vented
position,
which
allows
pressure
to escape. Keep in this position
until
the
pressure
in the system has been relieved, then turn again to the
left
to remove. Turn the cap
all
the way to the right when reinstalling.

liness of your Cadillac's superb
finish
stands
revealed. It's a wise protection available at
any
Cadillac
Authorized Service Station.
The
cooling
system on your
Cadillac
has been designed to maintain
the predetermined
right
temperature for efficient engine operation,
and to protect your engine
from
the adverse effects of overheating.
The
capacity of the system is 25 quarts.
The
cooling
system requires
regular
attention. The proper coolant
level
is one
inch
below the bottom of the
filler
neck. Keep the system
leak-proof
by having all connections tightened regularly. Have your
Cadillac
Authorized
Service Station clean and
flush
the system at
least twice a year, or every 6,000 miles.
®
Cadillac Cooling System Inhibitor
Your
Cadillac,
when delivered to you, contained a charge of
Cadillac
Cooling
System Inhibitor, a special chemical
that
retards
the forma-
tion
of rust and scale. A fresh charge of Inhibitor should be added
whenever the system is drained and
refilled,
regardless of summer
or
winter or whether an anti-freeze containing Inhibitor has been
used.
Cadillac
Cooling
System Inhibitor is recommended because of
its effective action, and also because it can be safely used
with
any standard anti-freeze.
-
^
20
Cadillac
recommends the
following
available commer-
cial
materials,
which
may be used for preparing anti­freeze solutions to be used in automobile radiators: denatured
alcohol,
methanol, propanol, ethylene
glycol,
and
distilled
glycerines.
Kerosene
or other
oils,
or solutions containing
calcium
chloride,
magnesium chloride, sodium silicate, or other
inorganic
salts, honey, glucose or sugar, are not satis-
factory
for use in the
cooling
system.

*
Before Installing Antl-Freeze
The
cooling
system should be thoroughly cleaned, in-
spected, and serviced for winter operation.
This
insures
removal
of all
iron
rust and scale. It is advisable to
install
new hose for the radiator and
heater
when
ethylene
glycol
and glycerine solutions are used. Hose
previously
swollen
by water absorption has a tendency
to shrink when
these
materials are used,
thus
causing leaks. Regular
inspection
of the entire system, to prevent leaks, should be made frequently after the anti-freeze is installed, and special checks made on
hose connections, cylinder head, and water pump.
The
Automatic Heating System (installed as an accessory when
ordered) is so located
that
it does not drain, even when the hose is disconnected, unless air pressure is applied. Do not rely on draining to prevent freezing on cars using this Heating System; be sure to get some anti-freeze into the
heater
cores.
Engine Oil Recommendations
Your
use of the proper Engine
Oil
is of
great
importance in obtaining
maximum
performance and satisfaction from your car.
Oil
oxidizes when heated. Unless protected against oxidation, crank-
case
oils
may form sludge and varnish, and under some conditions,
corrosive
acids.
To
minimize the formation of
these
harmful decomposition products
and to supply the type of oil
best
suited for the different operating
conditions,
the refiners market several types of
oils.
The particular
types recommended for
passenger
car use have been defined by the
General
Committee,
Division
of Marketing,
American
Petroleum
Institute, as
follows:
3 "Regular Motor OH—This term shall be used to designate a straight mineral
oil.
Oils
of this type are generally suitable for use in
internal
combustion engines under moderate operating conditions."
O
"Premium Motor Oil—This term shall be used to designate
oils
having
proved oxidation stability and bearing corrosion preventive
properties.
Oils
of this type are generally suitable for use in internal
combustion
engines where operating conditions are such
that
regular
oils
do not give satisfactory service."
22
> "Heavy- Duty
Motor
Oil
This
term
shall
designate an
oil
having
proved
oxidation stability, bearing corrosion preventive properties
and detergent-dispersant characteristics.
Oils
of this type are gener-
ally
suitable for use in both high speed
Diesel
and gasoline engines
under heavy-duty service conditions."
The
Regular or straight mineral motor
oils
are satisfactory for
use in average
passenger
car service under normal
driving
conditions. These are considered to he a combination of low and medium speed driving
with
only an occasional long run at high speed.
Under
more severe
driving
conditions where the engine is required
to develop more nearly
full
power for a much larger
percentage
of
the time, as for example in mountain
climbing
and in sustained high
speed
driving,
the
PREMIUM
MOTOR
OILS
are recommended.
The heavy-duty
oils
which
are recommended for use in heavy-duty
truck, bus,
Diesel,
and gasoline engines are equally satisfactory for
use in
passenger
car engines under the
same
operating conditions for
which
the
PREMIUM
MOTOR
OILS
are recommended.
FOR
MAXIMUM
PROTECTION
OF
YOUR
CADILLAC
EN-
GINE
UNDER
ALL
DRIVING
CONDITIONS,
IT IS
RECOM-
MENDED
THAT
PREMIUM
OR
HEAVY-DUTY
GRADE
MOTOR
OIL BE
USED.
For
the first 1,000 miles, use the
oil
in the crankcase at the time your
car was delivered to you.
During
this period should additional oil be necessary, use nothing heavier than 10-W oil in winter or 20-W oil
in summer. Change oil at 1,000 miles.
Break-in
oils
or
compounds
are
entirely
unnecessary.
Do not use
them
under
any
circumstances.
> After the First 1,000 Miles
For
better
all-around engine performance after the first 1,000 miles,
SAE
20-W or
SAE
20 engine oil should be used during summer
weather. If your car is regularly driven at high speed, or if the
prevail-
ing
daylight
temperature
averages
90° F,
SAE
30 oil may be used.
23
For
cold
weather,
oil
should be selected
that
will
permit easy starting
at the lowest
temperature
anticipated for the entire period. Unless
the proper oil is selected, you may have
difficulty
starting your car
if
the
temperature
drops suddenly. The viscosity
grades
of engine
oil
for use in your
Cadillac
at the various
cold
weather
temperatures
are given in the chart below.
If you anticipate that the minimum Use the grade
atmospheric temperature will be: indicated:
Not
lower than 30° F. above zero 20-W or
SAE
20
As
low as 10° F. above zero 20-W
As
low as 10° F. below zero 10-W
Below
10° F. below zero 10-W plus 10%
kerosene
Note:
10-W oil plus 10% kerosene is recommended
only
for
those
territories where the
temperature
remains under
10°
F. below zero for long periods.
Your
Cadillac
Authorized Service Station
will
advise you on the
proper engine oil required to give the
best
performance under exist-
ing
climatic and
driving
conditions.
®
Proper Oil Level
Always
maintain the proper
oil
level.
The
oil
indicator is marked in quarts. When-
ever the
level
falls
below the "add one­quart" mark, add oil immediately. Do not add above the
"full"
mark, or
7-quart
level.
Check your oil each time you buy
gasoline and before starting long drives.
Engine
oil should be drained and replaced
with
fresh oil every
2,000 miles.
Hard
driving
conditions may
necessitate
more frequent
changes. Consideration for this should be given when
driving
in dust
storms, in
cold
or severe weather, or on very dusty roads.

#
Chassis
Lubrication
Detailed
instructions for the lubrication
of
your
Cadillac
car are listed and
illus-
trated in the "Lubrication Chart". The chassis requires attention every 1,000 miles,
and all chassis lubricating points
should
be given attention at
these
times.
In
addition, the standard transmission and rear axle lubricant should be drained and replaced every 6,000 miles.
•4
Rear Axle
The rear axle of your car is equipped
with
a hypoid gear and
pinion,
and it must be lubricated always
with
SAE
90 Passenger Car Duty
Hypoid
Lubricant.
The lubricant
level
should be inspected every 1,000
miles,
and
Hypoid
Lubricant
or
SAE
90 or
"All
Purpose
(rear
Lube" added, if required.
The axle should be drained, (lushed out, and refdled
with
fresh
Hypoid
Lubricant everv 6,000 miles, regardless of season.
Transmission
The transmission (except
Hydra-Matic)
is to be lubricated all-year-
round
with
SAE
90 or
SAE
90 EP gear
oil
or
SAE
90 or
"Ail
Purpose
Gear
Lube." The SAE 90
Hypoid
Lubricant recommended for the
rear axle may be used also in the transmission. The lubricant
level
should be inspected every 1,000 miles and lu-
bricant added as required.
Every
6,000 miles, the transmission
case
should
be drained, (lushed, and
refilled
with
fresh lubricant.
# Other
Points
The steering
gear,
water pump, wheel bearings, and
grease
gun
connections each require a specific type of lubricant.
Only
operators
familiar
with
these
requirements and having the right materials
should
be permitted to lubricate the car.
