the first few hundred miles may score the brake drums or gall the linings.
The following recommendations should be ,followed as to speed during the first
one thousand miles of driving. These recommendations are maximum safe speeds
under favorable operating conditions. The speed of the car should be decreased
under unfavorable conditions, such as rough or rutted roads, or in climbing steep
or continuous grades.
0-250 MILES
Do not exceed 40 miles per hour in high gear or 20 miles per hour in second.
Do not accelerate rapidly. Use second gear on steep grades.
250-500 MILES
Do not exceed 50 miles per hour in high gear or 25 miles per hour in second.
500-1,000 MILES
During this period the speed should not exceed 60 miles per hour.
Important
Your car is equipped with a governor installed and sealed at the factory to insure
it reaching you in good condition.
While the governor is in place, the top speed and acceleration are restricted and
the air intake noise slightly increased.
Your dealer will remove the governor and tune the engine for you when making
the 500-mile inspection.
Maintain oil level in crankcase within "oil level range" on oil level gauge at all
times. (See Figure 2.)
Do not drive at a high rate of speed until the engine is thoroughly warmed up.
Cold oil is not able to flow freely into the small clearances between the working
surfaces, so that damage may occur if this is not observed.
Special Lubricants
THERE IS NO NECESSITY OF USING SPECIAL LUBRICANTS CON-
TAINING GRAPHITE OR OIL CONCENTRATES EITHER IN THE ENGINE
OIL RESERVOIR OR BY ADDING TO THE GASOLINE DURING THE
BREAK-IN PERIOD. If such practices are followed by the owner, he should be
guided as to quantities by the recommendations of the manufacturer of the special
lubricant. Only light, finely refined oils should be added to the gasoline and not
to exceed one quart to a full tank of gasoline
Even where these special practices are followed, the recommendations of the
foregoing paragraphs as to speeds and operation should be adhered to strictly.
ENGINE
The unusual power, efficiency and economy of the Hudson Six engine are due
to a combination of such advanced designs as the chrome alloy cylinder block,
giving great strength and wearing qualities so as to almost eliminate wear on
cylinder walls and valve seats; silicon aluminum alloy pistons, cam ground and
fitted with a clearance of .002"; silicon chromium steel valves; down draft
carburetion—all built around a fully compensated crankshaft and lubricated by
the Hudson Duo-flo Automatic Lubricating System.
