Transmission The transmission housing has three compartments, the rear one con taining shafts, gears, shift forks, etc. constituting the gearbox. The center part contains free wheel device and pinion/ring gear with differential, to which the drive shafts are connected.
The front wheels are independently suspended and each front axle is mounted by ball joints to one upper and one lower transverse spring arm. Each one of these wishbone spring arms is attached to the body brackets by rubber bushings. A coil spring is installed be tween a seat on the upper spring arm and a similar one in the body.

• Operation and Maintenance Driving Instructions Qualities of the car General Each type of car has its own characteristics and even cars of the same type and make may differ considerably depending on the con dition of the car. Wheel alignment, steering mechanism, brakes, tires, shock absorbers etc.
Free Wheel The free wheel device hetween clutch and main shaft can be engaged or disengaged by means of a control, located above the brake pedal When the control is pulled out, the free wheel is disengaged i e locked. The car should preferably be stopped before pulling out the free wheel control entirely.
and for shifting to a lower gear, the clutch pedal need not be used provided that the free wheel is engaged. All gearshifts, however, should be carried out with easy and firm movements and with a slight, scarcely noticeable stop in the neutral position.
Preheater The engine is provided with a device for heating the carburetor air to prevent icing in the carburetor, which may occur at temperatures between —50° and li&C (20—60°F) if the relative humidity of the air is over 55%. The icing causes excessive fuel consumption and de creased engine power.
NOTE When the cold start is operated, never depress the accelerator as this will obstruct the function of the cold start device. Push in the cold start control entirely as s« Oti utt possible.
During the running-in period which covers the first 3,000 km (2,000 miles), avoid driving at too high engine speeds. This, however, does not mean that the engine, e.
?&, H. ? J S? Skld' the general rule is t0 Sive &as ^d to steer in the same direction as the tail skids. If the front wheels skid, let up on the accelerator to regain steering and traction abilif, and then gradually open the throttle again.
ho wever, the lock cylinder have stuck, be careful not to destroy the key. Try to warm up the lock in "some way until the ice n. 'ts and the key can be turned. To prevent new ice formation the lock cylinder may be greased sparingly with ethylene glycol or Silicone spray.
Carburetor It is essential that the carburetor be kept free from impurities. For this reason a filter, 10, is provided in the carburetor feed pi • connec tion. This filter should be inspected regularly and cleaned whenever necessary as should also the jets.
4. 34 Adjust the engine to run uniformly with the adjusting screw 7, which is achieved when the screw is opened about 2 turns. 3. Adjust the engine speed with the screw 8 until the proper idling speed, 700—800 rpm, is attained. Fuel Pump In the fuel pump there is a filter 16, which can be removed by screw ing out the plug 17.
5. the points be burnt, or otherwise be in poor condition, the pump should be checked by a service garage. Assemble cover 9, nut 22 cable, and nut 21 to their original positions. Tighten the terminal nut 21 firmly to ensure satis factory contact. . Cooling System General When topping up or draining the cooling system, the heater control 4, fig.
Radiator Repairs A leaky rauiator core should be repaired by soldering. Patent solu- SFb^HV C°0lant " °rder t0 S6al thG -d-tor should be used only m case of emergency as they may clog the cooling jackets and Anti-freeze Solutions iSSf the-C.°ld.
advantage with glycol is that it is rather expensive, and like methy lated spirit, it must be handled with care as it can spoil /.he finish of the car. It also reduces the thermal conductivity of tije water and thus it should not constitute too great a percentage of the coolant.

The various alignment angles are shown in the figure below. Note that the dimensions A and B are measured between the wheel rims.
Avoid long and heavy discharges of the battery because they shorten its life considerably. In case of repeated attempts to start the engine, the battery should be allowed to recover for a short while between attempts. Generator The generator is located to the right of the engine and is driven by a V-belt from the crankshaft pulley.

Note. When using the engine for braking the car, the free wheel must be locked and, after each change down in gear, the accelerator must be depressed for a moment, otherwise the car will coast with the engine idling as the flyweights of the centrifugal clutch are retracted.
fig. 33,-cold or heated air can be admitted without unpleasant draft. The control marked "Floor-Defr." distributes the incoming air. In the intermediate position, the air flow is equally divided between the outlets. The heat control "Cold-Hot" closes or opens the cock which regu lates the cpolant flow through the heater element.
'•:% The car is equipped with covers for the two holes in the wheel housing walls behind the radiator. Do not forget to close the covers in winter and to remove them in summer. Through these steps the cooling system is adapted to the season and the proper engine temperature will be reached more quickly.
* Lubrication Directions Proper lubrication is very important for maintaining the car in good condition. It is cheaper to lubricate the car regularly and with first class lubricants than to pay for repairs caused by neglecting the lubrication directions.
