that

might

have

been

filtered

out

BATTERY

The

battery

in

your

Dodge

car

is

under

the

hood

-on

the

left

side

of

the

engine

-

complet.ely

away

from

the

seats

and

upholstery

.

Thus

,

tl:ere

can

be

no

danger

of

spilling

battery

acid

inside

the

car.

It

requires

only

distilled

water

for

maintenance

.

Check

the

water

level

in

your

battery

at

least

once

a

month

in

winter

and

eve

ry

two

weeks

in

summer

,

and

fill

as

directed

on

the

battery

cover.

Do

not

overfill.

Lubrication

WATCH

YOUR

ENGINE OIL

Pr

oper

engine

lubrication

is

essential

to

low

maintenance

costs

and

efficient

engine

performance

.

It's

a

very

important

matter

and

a

simple

one

-

to

pay

careful

,

attention

to

the

oil

level

in

the

crankcase,

the

changing

of

the

oil,

and

to

the

proper

selection

of

the

o

il

to

be

used

.

Lubricating

with

the

best

materials,

and

with

the

utmost

care,

will

be

repaid

many

times

by

long

wear

and

good

service.

20

Cars

driven

over

dusty

roads

or

through

dust

storms

also

require

special

attention

to

maintain

peak

performance

and

to

prevent

undue

engine

wear

.

If

crankcase

oil

becomes

contaminat

ed

through

failure

to

service

the

units

drain

the

engine

promptly

and

refill

with

new

oil.

I

FIRST OIL

CHANGE

AT

1,000

MILES

--

During

the

first 1,0

00

mil

es,

it

is

recom

·

mended

that

you

use

No.1

0-W

engine

oil

in

the

crankcase

.

If

nec

essa

ry

to

add

oil

during

the

first

1,000

miles,

No

. 10-W

should

be

used

regardless

of

th

e

season

or of

climatic

conditions.

AFTER

1,000

MILES

-

When

your

speedometer

registers

1,000

miles

,

the

crankcase

should

be

drained

a

nd

refilled

with

the

proper

viscosity

oil

a

ccording

to

the

atmospheric

temperature

ex-

pected.

See

Engine

Oil

Recommendations

below

.

Oil

changes

should

then

be

made,

under

normal

conditions,

every

1,500 to

2,000

miles

during

winter

, a

nd

every

2,500

to

3,000

mil

es

during

summer.

The

best

time

to

drain

the

crankcase

is

after

a

run

,

while

the

engine

is

still

heated.

N

eve

r

use

kerosene

for

flushing

o

ut

the

oil

pan

and

lubric

ati

ng

system

.

A

certain

a

mount

will

remain

in

the

system

and

dilute

the

oil.

ENGINE

OIL RECOMMENDATIONS-

The

engine

oil

recommendations

given

on

page

22,

(and

on

the

inside

front

cov

er

of

this

manual)

are

based

upon

the

principle

that

the

lower

viscosity

oils

circulate

more

r

ap

idly

and

lubricate

parts

with

closer

clearances

more

readily

than

the

heavier

oils.

Their

complete

satisfaction

,

however,

depends

upon

the

use

of

only

well

refined

or

high

quality

products.

Purchas

es

should

be

made,

therefore,

only

from

reputable

manu

-

facturers

or

dealers.

If

,

as

a

result

of

continued

high

speed

driving

or

from

some

other

cause,

BRAKE FLUID-

It

is

important

that

genuine

MOPAR

Super

Brak

e

Fluid

be

used

in

the

hydraulic

braking

system

of

your

car.

This

fluid

and

the

component

parts

of

your

hydraulic

braking

system

are

designed

to

function

together.

Your

Dodge

dealer

is

equipped

to

service

your

brakes

most

efficiently

.

HAND

SRAKE

The

hand

brake

consists

of

a

band

contracting

around

a

brake

drum

mounted

on

the

transmission

shaft

at

the

rear

of

t'

le

transmission

.

It

operates

independently

of

the

foot

brakes

and

applies

equal

braking

force

to

the

rear

wheels

through

the

differential.

The

hand

brake

is

used

principally

for

holding

the

car

while

parked.

For

adjustments

of

the

hand

brake

and

brake

cable

,

see

your

D

Clutch

The

The

How

the

Fluid

Drive

Works

The

Fluid

Drive

ope

rat

es

on

the

same

principle

as

th

at

which

causes

a

fan

to

revolve

,

ev

en

though

not

connected

with

an

e

lectric

al o

utlet

,

when

it

is

placed

facing

a

second

fan

which

is

running

.

The

air

thrown

off

by

the

blades

of

the

fan

which

is

running

strikes

the

blades

of

the

fan

not

connected

with

the

current

causing

th

em

to

revolve

also.

In

the

illustration,

fan

No.

1

represents

the

driving

member

of

the

Fluid

Drive

unit,

while

fan

No

.2

is

the

driven

mem -

ber,

transmitting

power

to

the

of

through

the

conventional

friction

clutch

and

transmission.

www.PlandeGraissage.org

The

actual

Fluid

Drive

unit

in

your

Dodge

consists

of

two

parallel

facing

rotors,

each

of

which

has

a

set

of

blades

radiating

from

the

center.

The

mech-

anism

operates

in

a

medium

of

fluid

.

One

of

the

rotors

in

the

unit,

known

as

the

impeller

(1)

,

is

attached

to

the

crankshaft.

The

other,

called

the

runner

(2),

connects

with

the

clutch

and

the

transmission

.

Ther

e is

no

mechanica

l

conn

e

ction

between

the

two

-

the

driving

force is

transmitted

entirely

by

the

fluid.

As

th

e

imp

e

ller

rotates,

it

throws

fluid

across

the

gap

into

the

runner.

This

procedure

transmits

engine

power

to

the

runner

and

so

to

the

rear

axle

of

the

car

.

NOTE:

Whenever

it

is

necessary

to

keep

the

engine

idling

while

the

car

is

parked,

shift

the

transmission

gears

to

neutral.

FLUID DRIVE MAINTENANCE

--

Immedia

tely

after

the

first

1,000

miles

of

dri

ving

yo

,

have

the

level

of

the

fluid

in

the

Fluid

Driv

e

unit

checked

by

yo

ur

Dodge

dealer.

If

the

lev

el is

correct,

no

f

urthe

r

attention

should

be

required

until

10,000

miles

of

travel

have

been

completed.

It

should

be

inspected

every

10,000

miles

thereafter,

and

if

necessary

sufficient

MOPAR

Fluid

Drive

Fluid

added

to

bring

th

level

to

the

proper

height.

Your

Dodge

dealer

should

do

this

for

you.

Transmission

The

purpos

e of

the

transmission

is

to

make

th

e

power

of

the

engine

more

effective

at

low

spe

e

ds

used

for

starting

and

pulling

the

car

up

a

grade

and

to

allow

the

car

to

be

backed

up

without

reversing

the

engine.

You

will

find

that

regular

attention

to

its

special

requirements

will

be

repaid

many

times

over

in

smooth,

efficient

pe

rformance

throughout

the

lifetime

of

your

car.

The

Cooling

System

The

cooling

system

of

Dodge

engines

automatically

maintains

the

most

desire-

able

engine

temperature

under

all

normal

conditions

of

operation

.

If

your

engine

persists

in

overheating,

h

ave

your

Dodge

deakr

check

the

cooling

system

for

clogging

due

to

rust,

poor

hoses

,

etc.

Rust

interferes

with

circulation

and

cooling,

and

it

must

not

be

allowed

to

form,

if

cooling

of

the

engine

is

to

be

kept

to

new

car

efficiency

.

Rust

and

corrosion

can

be

prevented

by

maintaining

full-strength

corrosion

protection

at

all

times.
