Show SOME MOTOR DONT'S Don't race your engine when it is not drawing the car. There is no worse abuse. Don't neglect to keep the radiator filled with clean water. Always use a good anti-freeze alcohol and water mixture for cold weather. This should be at least 25 per cent alcohol wood or denatured. Don't fail to inspect the level of the liquid in your storage batteries every ten days. Don't let vour car stand with the headlights full on. It is unnecessary and runs your battery down. Don't neglect your lubrication. Don't try to save by buying a cheap engine oil. The best is none too good. Don't drive fast around turns or over rough roads. Don't attempt to shift into reverse gear when you are going ahead, even if your clutch is out- Wait until you have come to a stop. Don't allow your clutch to engage suddenly. Don't drive with your spark fully retarded. Your engine will lack power if you do, and probably overheat in the bargain. Don't apply your brakes suddenly except in cases of emergency. Don't drive fast on slippery streets. |
