Hudson 1947 3/4-TON COMMERCIAL, Руководство пользователя

Страница: 38 / 75

The maximum output on all models is 44 amperes cold and 38 amperes hot.
The term "hot" means after the engine has been run about 15 minutes at a speed corre-
sponding to 20 miles per hour.
Maximum output is reached at a car speed of about 35 miles per hour. Adjustment of the
output is dependent on battery voltage and, therefore, any adjustments required should be
made by your Authorized Hudson Dealer, who has the proper checking equipment.
LUBRICATION—The front and rear armature bearings should be lubricated every
2,000 miles by applying a few drops of light engine oil to oilers (A) and (B), Fig. 22.
Avoid over-oiling.
VOLTAGE REGULATOR
The voltage regulator is standard equipment on all models and is mounted on the left
front fender, at the rear end, in the engine compartment.
This highly sensitive device automatically increases the amount of current flowing into
the battery when it is low due to heavy electrical loads and reduces the current flow when
the battery voltage reaches a predetermined value. This prevents damage to battery and
other electrical units from excessively high voltage.
As special equipment is required to test this unit, and as the cover is sealed in place, the
regulator should never be tampered with. See your Authorized Hudson Dealer if it requires
checking.
STARTING MOTOR
The starting motor, Fig. 23, is located at the rear left corner of the engine and is fitted
with a separate solenoid switch. Control of the starting motor is by means of a push button
located on the instrument panel to the right of the ignition lock.
A small button located at the rear end of
the solenoid switch may be used to permit
cranking the engine when checking ignition
timing or changing clutch compound.
LUBRICATION — Two small oilers
are provided for lubrication of the bearings.
Every 2,000 miles the two oilers, (A) and
(B), see Fig. 23, should be lubricated with
a few drops of light engi
ne oil. Do this
sparingly to prevent over- oiling.
The Bendix drive pinion threads should be
cleaned occasionally with a brush dipped in
kerosene to remove gum and dirt.
Do not
oil the threads as the kerosene will pro-
vide all the lubrication required.
