SNAP FASTENERS
TO RAISE THE TOP—STOP THE CAR
1. Unsnap the boot fasteners along the rear deck and side panels. Uncover the top and let the boot hang over the rear seat back.
2. After pulling down both sun visors, move the top operating lever to the left and hold it in this position until the top header is
approximately one foot above the windshield pilots; then release the lever.
3. Grasp the top locking handle firmly with the right hand and guide the top down over the windshield pilots while the left hand holds the
top operating lever at its “Raise” position. When the header rests on the windshield, release the control lever. Lock the snap lock at the
left of the locking handle on the header. Lock the top securely to the windshield by turning the top locking handle clockwise two
or three complete turns. Test the lock by attempting to lift the top free of the pilots.
4. Snap the fasteners in place along the top side rails and side panels on both sides of the top. There are 6 of these fasteners on each side.
Let the boot fold down into the top compartment or unsnap the boot from the rear seat back and place it in the boot bag provided.
NOTICE
The radiator of this car may be equipped with a
pressure-type cap
. If it is
so equipped, remove the cap by turning it slowly half-way to the open
position and pausing to permit relief of any vapor or steam pressure
present. Then complete turning of cap to the stop and remove it.
LUBRICATION
Periodic Inspections
It is good for reasons of economy and to forestall unexpected need of service to have your car inspected once a month or at 1000 mile
(1609 km.) lubrication periods. An ideal time to have many of the parts or units inspected is while the car is on the lubrication hoist in the
raised position.
Lubrication Operations
Proper lubrication is good assurance that your car will continue to perform with increasing satisfaction. Only high quality lubricants should
be used on your car.
Your Studebaker dealer knows every lubrication requirement for your car. Take it to him for periodic lubrication. The recommendations
given in the following paragraphs are, in many ways, the most important in the entire booklet. If a lubrication service must, of necessity, be
performed by a non-Studebaker serviceman, be sure he understands the requirements mentioned in this section and on the charts on pages
, 29, and 30.
Universal Joints
Lubricate with light weight chassis lubricant at 1000 mile (1609 km.) intervals. Only a low pressure (hand) gun
should be used to lubricate these bearings.
Transmission Lubricant
The transmission should be filled to the level of the filler plug hole with S.A.E. 90 mineral oil gear lubricant
or S.A.E. 40 engine oil, both summer and winter. On cars equipped with overdrive transmission, fill
slowly
, using the fill hole of the main
case. For transmission capacities, see table on
.
