tomobiles:
& Once each day. or about every 100
miles. the crank case should be exam
ined to insure that Oil comes up to
the level Of the top try cock. Simply
odd new motor oil whenever the oil
level falls below this point The steer
ing gear knucEle grease cups and
steering cross rod grease cups should
each receive one complete turn
All spring bolt grease cups should be
givensa couple of complete turns each
day. The springs take the entire jolt
ing Of the car. Squeaks develop In
them very radily. so 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 is
in motion, Should receive from at least
ten to fifteen drops of motor oil per
day.
About twice week the fan hub
should be given Il few drops of motor
oil. At the same time the pump shaft
grease cups and steering gear 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. @
Every week. give the spark and throt.
tie shafts few drops of OIL. In the
weekly inspection see that the trans
mission case 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 complete turns to the
brake cross rod grease cups. At this
time see that the brake shafts for the
rear wheels are thoroughly oiled. In
spect the torque rod. both front aud
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 of
the grease cups once a week will also
dc away with lot of unpleasant
noises
About twice a month. or. say. every
500 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 cause ignition trouble.
One month. or about every 1000
miles of driving. the crank case should
be thoroughly drained the oil screens
and filters should be cleaned thorough
ly with gasoline and the oil well should
be filed with motor Oil to the top try
cock. During the monthly inspection
the spring leaves should be pried apart
and thoroughly fabricated with graph
lite and grease. The hub caps should
be removed and packed with new
grease. The leather boots on the steer
ing gear reach rods will also require
thorough packing with grease once
month. At the time of this monthly
inspection give particular attention to
the universal joints. The strain car
