10 TERRAPLANE SPECIAL SIX
The engine speed is controlled by the foot accelerator.
The carburetor choke is controlled by the knob on the extreme left.
The lights on the car are operated by the main lighting switch, which is the first
knob to the left of the instrument group, the driving light control switch on the toe
board to the left of the clutch pedal, the dome lamp switch located on the dome
lamp, and the stop lamp switch.
The main lighting switch has three positions, the full in position being off.
Parking, city driving and country driving are obtained as the knob is pulled out.
When the main lighting switch is in the city or country driving position the
driving light control (foot) switch becomes effective. By pressing this control
button and releasing it the headlamp beams may be deflected to the city driving
position immediately in front of the car or to the country driving position in which
the light will be projected a considerable distance ahead of the car. (See page 36
for Adjustment of Headlamps.)
The stop lamp switch is located on the chassis frame and is connected to the
brake linkage so that the stop light is illuminated when the brakes are applied.
The starter is controlled by the push button to the right of the instruments.
The oil pressure signal is the red jewel located to the right of the center of the
instrument group. When the ignition switch is turned "on" this signal will be
lighted. If it remains lighted or flashes while the engine is running above idling
speed, the engine should be stopped and the oil level in the reservoir checked. If
necessary, check the oil lines. Do not run the engine until the trouble is corrected.
The generator signal is the red jewel located to the left of the center of the
instrument group. When the ignition switch is turned "on" this signal will be
lighted and should stop glowing when the engine reaches a speed slightly above
normal idling. If the signal flashes when the car is being driven above twenty
miles per hour, it indicates that the battery is not being charged. Your electrical
system should be checked by your Terraplane Dealer.
The gasoline gauge, located at the top of the instrument group, indicates the
quantity of gasoline in the tank.
Starting the Engine
If the engine is cold, pull the choke knob out as far as possible, turn the ignition
switch key to the right, depress the accelerator pedal slightly, and press the starter
button. When the engine "fires," push the choke knob in until the engine runs
evenly. Return the choke knob gradually to the full in position as the engine
warms up. The choke knob should never be out any farther than necessary to
maintain even running of the engine.
If the engine is warm from previous running, use the choke sparingly. In
most instances the engine will start immediately without the use of the choke
