52 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 5. Adding Water to Storage Battery In winter it is sufficient to inspect the level of the battery solution every 1000 miles when the car is lubricated. In summer, however, the battery solution should be inspected every 500 miles or at least every two weeks. Enough water should be added to keep the tevel of the solution above the tops of the plates and even with the bottom of the filling tubes. Water for filling the battery must be pure. Distilled water, melted artificial ice or fresh rain water are suitable for this purpose. Do not use water that has co.me in contact with any metal. 6. Adjustment of Circuit Breaker The circuit breaker is of the lock-out and vibrating type, the same as on previous cars. The lock-out side protects the horn, inspection lamp, dome lamp, quarter lamps, stop lamp, step lamps and cigar lighter. In case of a ground in any of these circuits, the breaker opens and remains open until the ground is removed. The remaining lamps including the headlamps are protected by the vibrating circuit breaker. In case of a ground in any of the circuits protected by the vibrating circuit breaker, the breaker will start to vibrate and will continue until the ground is removed. When 32 candle power bulbs are used in the headlamps the initial rush of the current when the lamps are first turned on sometimes causes the circuit breaker to vibrate a few times. This is only a temporary overload and should not necessitate any adjustments on the circuit breaker. 7. Running Engine with Storage Battery Disconnected Serious damage will be done to the generator if the engine is run with the battery disconnected unless the generator terminal is grounded. This can be done by using a short wire attached at one end to the front terminal of the cut-out relay and at the other end fastened under one of the cut-out hold-down screws. 8. Generator Thermostat Control Before engine unit 2-10750 on 303 cars, the generator is of the split-field type, thermostatically controlled. One of the field coils is connected between the third brush and one of the main brushes in the usual manner. The other field coil is connected between the two main brushes and the thermostat is in series with this field. The function of the thermostat is to disconnect this field from the ground as soon as the generator reaches the temperature of 175 °F. Before the thermostat operates, both fields are in use and the out-put of the generator is correspondingly higher. When, as a result of the combined heat of the generator and the engine, the temperature reaches the predetermined point, the thermostat cuts out the field to which it is connected and the generator out-put is reduced. Beginning with engine unit 2-10750 on 303 cars, both field coils are in series with the thermostat which in turn is in parallel with a resistance. When the thermostat operates, the entire field current is shunted through this resistance with a corresponding reduction of current output. 9. Contact Point Adjustment There are two sets of contact points, one for the oddnumbered cylinders (1-3-5-7), the others for the evennumbered cylinders (2-4-6-8). The contact arm for the odd-numbered cylinders is mounted on a stationary plate and the ignition for these cylinders is timed by adjusting the cam. The contact arm for the even-numbered cylinders is at an angle of 135° from the other arm and is mounted on a plate which is adjustable for timing these cylinders. The complete timing operation should include both adjustments. 10. Timing Marks A few early 303 cars have the 1G/A mark stamped 1H inch ahead of dead center instead of % inch. On these cars the IG/A marks should be disregarded and the timing should be set % inch ahead of the dead-center marks.
