moving the handle toward the rim of wheel. Continue turning until a drag
is felt when the brake drum is turned. Then turn star wheel in the reverse
direction just until the drum turns free. Replace the inspection hole cover
and wheels.
After performing these operations on all four wheels, pull the hand brake
lever up one or two notches until a firm drag is felt when turning the wheels
by hand. If more drag is felt on one wheel than on the others,
back off on
the star wheel adjustment until equal drag is felt on all wheels.
Proper brake adjustments cannot be obtained if wheel bearings are not
adjusted properly. Correct brake adjustment will not insure equal braking
action if tires are worn unevenly or unevenly inflated, spring clips or
shackles are loose, or if the front wheel alignment is incorrect. Have your
Terraplane and Hudson Dealer check these adjustments regularly.
SHOCK ABSORBERS AND SPRINGS
The spring leaves are lubricated with a thin coating of graphite grease
and covered to prevent entrance of road dirt or water and preserve the
lubricant. There should be no need for further lubrication during the life of
the car.
Spring control is obtained through the use of four direct-acting, self-
compensating shock absorbers. By using a large quantity of fluid working
under low pressure, accurate control is obtained and there is no variation
due to changes in operating temperatures.
The large reserve of fluid, the low operating pressure and the double seal
practically eliminate the loss of fluid. The fluid should, however, be main-
tained at the proper level and it is recommended that this be checked by an
Authorized Terraplane and Hudson Service Station at least twice a year.
HEADLAMPS
The headlamps are designed to give maximum safe illumination under
all driving conditions. The only adjustment necessary to obtain the results
which should be expected is the proper aiming of the headlamps. The right
and left lenses are interchangeable and can be used satisfactorily on either
side. The lamps are fitted with standard three-candlepower bulbs for the
parking position and pre-focused bulbs having a flanged mounting and
employing a 21-candlepower filament for city driving and passing, and a
32-candlepower filament for country driving. When the main lighting switch
is in the driving (second) position, the light beams can be changed to the high
or country driving position or to the low or city driving position by depress-
ing and releasing the toe board control switch.
Adjustments
In order to get the proper lighting effect the headlamps must be aimed
accurately, as follows:
