IMPORTANT

attention of owners of new

M,,.

Midget Sports cars is

drawn to the following.

The importance of carefully

running-in a new engine cannot

be over-estimated, and care and

restraint during the first 2,000

miles will

handsomely repaid.

Change the engine oil after the

first 500 miles, and every 1,000-

1,500 miles thereafter.

(Long

Chassis)

The first thing that the owner will want to know concerning his Car will

be the various lubricants that are rcconlmendcd

the maker:, and the points

of the chassis that require attention. The engine oil filler is situated on the

off side of the engine alongside which there is

dip stick.

Under no circum-

stances should the Car be driven fast on the lower gears or exceeding

miles

an hour on top gear during the first

500

miles.

At the end of this period the

engine oil should be drained and the base chamber refilled uith new oil. The

oil filter which will be referred to later should be removed and washed out

with petrol, this should be again attended to :liter the first

1,000

miles and

cvery suhsequent

1,000

miles.

It is inadvisable to run a cold engine fast until the oil has had an

opportunity of circulating and warming up sufficiently in order to circulate

freely through the oil passage ways throughout the engine. The pump is

called upon to suck from the base chamber or sump oil which has become

thick with standing, particularly in cold weather. It may he noticed that

the oil gauge will show that the pressure drops

:IS

the speed increases

the

engine is driven at all fast when cold. This is an indication that the oil has

not become sufficiently thin to pass into the punip in sufficient quantity. The

pump lubricates the whole of the engine including the valve gear.
