48 CADILLAC OPERATOR'S MANUAL GENERAL CARE 49 Temporary Brake Adjustment It is recommended that all adjustment of the brakes be done at an authorized <strong>Cadillac</strong>-La Salle service station. In an emergency, however, the following temporary adjustment can be made by the driver. Each brake is fitted with an adjusting nut on the cam lever, as shown in Fig. 24. To tighten the Fig. 24. A temporary brake adjustment can be secured by turning the adjusting nut on each
STORING CAR 51 CHAPTER VII Storing Car IF THE car is not to be used for a period of several months, it should be protected from deterioration during the period when it is not in use by carefully preparing it for storage. Engine To prepare the engine for storage, proceed as follows: Run the engine until opening of the radiator shutters indicates that the engine is warm. This may be done by driving on the road or by running the engine idle. In the latter case, care should be taken that there is sufficient ventilation to avoid injury from carbon monoxide poisoning. (See page 21.) After the engine is warm, place the car where it is to be stored and shut off the flow of gasoline to the carburetor by turning the valve above the filter. As soon as the engine starts to slow down, raise the polished aluminum cap on top of the carburetor and inject three or four tablespoonfuls of clean fresh engine oil into the carburetor. Injection of the oil will stop the engine. Remove the spark plugs. Inject two or three tablespoonfuls of engine oil into each spark plug hole, and before replacing the plugs, crank the engine three or four revolutions with the ignition switched off. This will tend to distribute the oil over the cylinder walls. The engine should not be started again after injecting the oil. If it is started, it will be necessary to repeat the treatment. Drain the cooling system. Storage Battery If the car is to be stored during the winter, the storage battery should have special treatment in order to protect it against freezing. Shortly before the car is used for the last time, distilled water should be added to bring the level of the solution up to the bottom of the filling tubes. (See page 45) After the water added has had an opportunity to mix thoroughly with the acid solution by running the car or engine, the specific gravity should be taken with a hydrometer. If the specific gravity (50) of the solution is above 1.270, there will be no danger of the acid solution freezing. If, however, the specific gravity is below 1.270, the battery should be removed and charged. Unless the battery is fully charged, or nearly so, it is probable that the acid solution in the battery will freeze and cause extensive damage. The battery ground connection should in all cases be disconnected during storage, as a slight leak in the wiring will discharge the battery and lower the specific gravity to the point where the solution may freeze. If possible, the storage battery should be removed and charged from an outside source every two months during the storage period. Tires During the storage of the car, it is best to remove the tires from the rims and to keep the casings and tubes in a fairly warm atmosphere away from the light. The tubes should be inflated slightly after the tires have been removed. If it is not convenient to remove the tires from the car, and the car is stored in a light place, cover the tires to protect them from strong light, which has a deteriorating effect on rubber. The weight of the car should not be allowed to rest on tires during the storage period. If tires are not removed, the car should be blocked up, so that no weight is borne by the tires. The tires should also be partly deflated. Body and Top A cover should be placed over the entire car to protect it from dust. In storing an open car, the top should be up. Taking Car Out of Storage In putting into use again a car that has been stored, it is advisable, unless the storage battery has been removed and charged at periodic intervals, to remove the battery from the car and give it a fifty-hourcharge at a fourampere rate. If the battery has received periodic charges, or if the specific gravity is above 1.200, simply add distilled water to the proper level and connect the leads. If there is a greenish deposit on the terminals of the battery, remove this with a solution of bicarbonate of soda (common cooking soda) and water. Do not allow any of this solution to get into the battery.
