Once each day o. about every 'l0o
miles. the crank case should be exA1t
ined to insure that oil comes up to
the level OF the top try cock. Simply
add new motor oil whenever the oil
level fails below this point. The steer
ing gear knuckie grease cops and
steering cross rcd grease cups shOUi1
each receive one complete turn.
All spring bolt grease cups should be
given a couple Of complete turns each
day. The springs take the entire jolt
ing Of the Cal. Squeaks develop In
them very radfly, 80 their fabrication
is highly important. The speedometer
driving gears should also receive atten.
ton daily. The wheel hubs. which
must work hard whenever the car 10
In motion, should receive from at least

day '~ '' ~ -
About twice q week the fan hub
should be given a few drops Of motor
oil. At the same time the pump shaft
grease cups and steering rear grease
cups should be given two complete
turns. During this inspection see that
the steering wheel and steering col.
umn each receive ten to fifteen drops
of motor oil. u. ',n
Every week give the spark and thrOt-
tie shafts u few drops Of oil. In the
weekly INSPECTION see that the trans
mission cas- has enough oil to cover
the lower sliding gear shaft. At the
same time thoroughly oil the brake
pull rods. the clutch and brake pedals
and give two completes turns to the
brake cross rod grease cups. At this
time see that the brake shafts for the
e wheels are thoroughly oiled. In.
spect the tOrque rod, both front and
rear. and on the weekly inspection the
grease cups should receive two cOm-
plete turns. An examination Of the
spring perches and one or two turns Ut
the grease cups Once a week will also
do away with q lot Of unpleasant
noises.
About twice a month. or. say, every
GOO miles. attention should be given to
the magnetic bearings. They require
only three or four drops Of high grade
light machine oil. but neglect Of this
fabrication may ignition trouble.
One a month. or about every 1900
miles Of driving, the crank case should
he thoroughly drained. the oil screens
and filters should be cleaned thorough
~ with gasoline and the oil well should
be filed with motor oil to the top try
cock. During the monthly inspection
the spring lea YES should be pried apart
and thoroughly fabricated with graph
tie and grease The hub caps should
he removed and packed with new
grease. The leather boots on the steer
ing gear reach rods will also require Q
thorough packing with grease once a
month. At the time Of this monthly
inspection give particular attention to
the universal joints. The strain car
ried by the universals is very heavy,
and to prevent undue wear the uni
versal joint casing should be filed half
full with cup grease without fail. ev-
cry 1000 miles.
At the end Of every 1900 miles the
differential housing should be opened
and about three pints Of axle CON
pound added. At this time the trans
mission case should also be thoroughly
drained. flushed with kerosene and re-.
filed with new motor oil.
