Spring Condition
ing” Urged
Declaring that the arrival of
Spring this year brings with it a
critical stage in the preservation
of the nation’s automotive trans
portation system, Ed Hedner, na
tional director of service for
Chevrolet, urges the individual
car and truck owners of America
to accept as their patriotic duty
the responsibility of making sure
their vehicles are thoroughly and
properly “Spring conditioned.”
“There are many reasons why it
is tremendously important for
owners to accept such responsibil
ity this year,” he said. “Subnor
mal driving at low speed, plus the
attendant inclination of many
owners to neglect proper service,
and the rigors of severe winter
conditions in many sections of
the country have exacted lr~vy
toll of the nation’s cars r :id
trucks.
“Whether or not our mote" c-
hicles will continue to function f-
fectively in getting war wr ’S
to and from their jobs, ar n
transporting an increasing vol
ume of war materials depen ‘ to
a large extent, on how well he
individual owners respond ?' ,ht
now to appeals from the gc ' n-
ment as well as the industry to
put their best equipment in the
best possible operating condi: m.”
Vital statistics of the nation's
car and truck “population” were
offered to point up the emergency
of the situation and to impress
upon owners their responsibility
in maintaining transportation
vital to the war effort. The
statistics show that prior to Pearl
Harbor, more than 5,000 passenger
cars and 1,500 trucks, consigned
to the scrap heaps, left thi high
ways every sundown, never to re
turn to service.
Today with the birth rate “zero”
as the result of the cessation of
production of cars and trucks for
civilian use, it is pointedly plain,
according to Chevrolet’s national
director of service, that we must
take good care of every vehicle
now in operation, to assure its
enduring usefulness in helping to
win the war.
Points included in the approved
Spring conditioning check-up of
fered by Chevrolet dealers are as
follows:
1— Drain permanent anti-freeze
solution into a container for use
again next Fall. At the same time,
tighten radiator hose connections
and flush radiator of sediment.
2— Cross-switch or rotate tires
according to recommended proce-
! dures or previous rotation dia-
jgram, thus spreading the wear on
all tires. / v \
3— Adjust bearings, repack front
wheels with correct lubricant, if
necessary. Check wheel drums
and brake lining for wear.
4— Lubricate chassis complete.
5— Drain crank-case oil and re
place with fresh lubricant.
G—Check transmission and rear
axle housing and use correct
lubricant, if necessary.
7— Remove all corrosion from
cattery cables, terminals and met
al encasement, and cover termi
nals with grease. See that bat
tery is fully charged.
8— Thoroughly inspect sheet
metal, including fenders and body
fer dents and rust. After rust has
been removed touch up paint to
preserve sheet metal.
To make sure of continued ef
ficient and economical operation
during the spring and summer
seasons, regular motor car main
tenance check-ups on a monthly
rather than a mileage basis arc
recommended.
