if the accelerator pedal is held in a slightly depressed position while the starter
is used. Do not under any circumstances work the accelerator pedal rapidly
when starting, as the accelerator pump may flood the carburetor.
Failure of the engine to start when the above procedure is followed can
usually he traced to improper engine adjustments or, in cold weather, a
combination of this and improper engine lubricant. The car should be taken to
an Authorized Terraplane and Hudson Dealer for adjustment or replacement of
the oil with the correct grade for the local operating conditions.
Breaking-in Instructions
Your Terraplane has been designed in accordance with the best practices
determined by years of experience and built under the most rigid standards of
precision. Before shipment from our factory each mechanical unit was supplied
with the proper quantity of correct lubricant to give maximum protection to the
finely finished working parts. In fact, every precaution has been taken to put in
your hands an unexcelled mechanism, properly protected against premature
wear. Extreme care has been exercised in selecting and testing each lubricant•
used and there is, therefore, no necessity of replacing any lubricants until the
normal change mileage has been reached.
In order to enjoy the maximum in life and trouble-free performance which
has been built into your Terraplane Six, you should at all times give it the
consideration that any fine mechanism deserves.
During the first one thousand miles you should be diligent in following
accepted practice, as described in later paragraphs, to permit proper break-in of
the finely finished working parts. Failure to follow this practice may result in
damage to bearing surfaces, cylinder walls or pistons, or abnormal increases in
clearances, which will shorten the life and impair the performance of the units.
Keep the radiator full of water at all times. Maintain the proper oil level in
the oil reservoir, using the correct grade of good quality oil as prescribed on
page 16.
Do not accelerate fast during the break-in period, as this throws extreme
loads on the working parts. When increasing the speed of the car depress the
accelerator pedal gradually. Use second gear under adverse driving conditions.
Do not apply the brakes harshly, as braking surfaces require the same care
during the break-in period as do engine parts. Hard application of the brakes
during the first few hundred miles may score the brake drums or gall the linings.
