How to use your car
Before
slartlng

(dirtyplugs,
excessive
spark
gaps, oxidiz€d contact-breaker
points,wet or cracked distributor

a the carburetlor may be dirty and jets clogged;
a electric circuits may be broken or fuses blown.
Whenthe enginehas started,movechoke lever halfwayback until the
engineis warm and then push it down.
Do nol accelerale lhe englne until il has warmed up, since when the
engineis cold lhe oil cannot reach all points requiring

and the oil pressurewarning Iight goes off as soon as the engine
speed exceedsidling.
Make sure the altemaloi warning light goes otf as soon as engine speed

In summer,or when lhe engine is already
hot, do not use the choke.
