OPERATION
Before Operating a New Car
The following instrutnents are shown in Illus. Nos. 1 to 3, pages 54
to 56.
Horn Button
The horn button is located at the center of the steering wheel. The
horn is operated by pushing down on this button.
Throttle Lever and Foot Accelerator
The throttle lever is at the upper right-hand s side of the center of the
steering wheel. It controls the engine speed and may be used to vary
the speed of the car. It is fully closed when in the upward position.
The foot accelerator also controls the speed of the engine in a man-
ner similar to the throttle lever. Pushing on this with the foot increases
the engine speed.
The foot accelerator being returned by a spring to whatever position
is located by the throttle lever, makes a very flexible control for average
driving. On long stretches of country road, where the speed is fairly
constant, the throttle lever may be used.
Care must be' taken, in using these controls, not to race the engine
when idle. Great harm can be done to an engine in this way, particu-
larly if it is new or cold.
Spark Lever
A spark lever is located at the upper left-hand side of the center of
the steering wheel. It is fully advanced and in position for ordinary
driving when in its upward position. It may be retarded downward
for starting the engine or when the engine is pulling heavily at low
speeds.
Carburetor Dash Control
The carburetor dash control is a button on the instrument
board marked "C". It is used as an aid to starting and as such is indis-
pensable.
Read carefully the instructions on starting the engine on Page 13.
Intake Manifold Heat Control
A button located on the instrument board, directly above the steering
column operates the manifold heat control valve. This button is marked
"H" and may be pulled out to open the valve and pushed in to close it.
The heat control valve should be open under all ordinary driving con-
ditions. Only in extremely hot weather or continuous driving at high
speed should this valve be closed.
Ignition Switch
