+
+
+Heat is a major consideration in a new engine. Do not allow the engine
+to overheat. Although the heat indicator on the instrument panel shows
+the general temperature of the engine, it will not show a sudden rise
+in temperature of an individual part.
+
+The pressure imposed on parts such as bearings and pistons due to rapid
+acceleration or hard pulling will cause them to overheat if the car has
+not been driven sufficiently to break them in. Avoid fast acceleration
+and hard pulling while breaking in.
+
+High speed also develops higher operating temperatures and to avoid
+damage the car speed should be kept within the following
+recommendations:
+
+0-250 MILES
+
+ Do not exceed 40 miles per hour in high gear or 20 miles per
+ hour in second. Do not accelerate rapidly. Use second gear
+ on steep grades. Keep motor temperature within "driving
+ range" on dash heat indicator.
+
+250-500 MILES
+
+ Do not exceed 50 miles per hour in high gear or 25 miles per
+ hour in second.
+
+500-1000 MILES
+
+ During this period the speed should not exceed 60 miles per
+ hour.
+
+
+IMPORTANT
+
+Do not UNDER ANY CONSIDERATION attempt to maintain a high rate of speed
+unless the crankcase is full of good oil and until the engine is
+thoroughly warmed up. Cold oil is not able to flow freely into the
+small clearances between working parts so that damage may occur if
+sufficient time is not allowed for warming up before attempting high
+speeds.
+
+
+
+
+[Illustration: OIL SIGNAL, CLUTCH CONTROL, GENERATOR SIGNAL,
+STARTER, LIGHTS, IGNITION, CHOKE]
+
+Starting the Engine
+
+
+If the engine is cold, pull the choke knob out as far as possible, turn
+the ignition switch key to the right, depress the accelerator pedal
+slightly, and pull the starter knob out. When the engine "fires," push
+the choke knob in until the engine runs evenly. Return the choke knob
+gradually to the full in position as the engine warms up. The choke
+knob should never be out any farther than necessary to maintain even
+running of the engine.
+
+If the engine is warm from previous running, use the choke sparingly.
+In most instances the engine will start immediately without the use of
+the choke if the accelerator pedal is held in a slightly depressed
+position while the starter is used. Do not under any circumstances work
+the accelerator pedal rapidly when starting as the accelerator pump may
+flood the carburetor.
+
+=Oil Signal=--The red signal on the left hand indicates oil pressure
+and the functioning of the oiling system. It will glow when the
+ignition switch is turned on but will go out when the car is under way.
+Should it continue to burn or flash while the car is under way, it
+indicates that the oil supply is low or that the oiling system is not
+functioning properly. Do not run the engine until the oil supply has
+been replenished or trouble corrected.
+
+=Generator Signal=--The red signal on the right hand will light when
+the ignition switch is turned on and will be lighted at all times
+unless the engine is running at higher than idling speed. Should this
+signal glow at normal running speeds, it indicates that the generator
+is not charging and should be inspected immediately by an Essex
+dealer.
+
+
+
+
+Lubrication
+
+
+Engine
+
+Use High-Grade Oil--Medium Heavy Body (S.A.E. 30)
+
+[Illustration]
+
+If cold weather prevails, be sure the oil you use will flow at the
+temperatures encountered. Oil supply should be maintained at the full
+mark on the bayonet gauge at the oil filler.
+
+The frequency with which oil should be drained and replenished with new
+depends largely on the operation of the car. Consult your dealer for
+recommendations on your car. In any event the oil should be changed at
+least every 2500 miles.
+
+
+Clutch
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Use only a mixture composed of 1/2 kerosene and 1/2 engine oil. Turn
+starter shaft with wrench, moving wrench handle toward the engine until
+plug "A" is accessible through opening in rear engine plate. Remove
+plug "A," continue turning flywheel until opening is down and all
+clutch oil is drained. Then turn until opening is again accessible.
+Pour in by means of offset funnel no more than 1/3 pint of clutch
+mixture. Replace plug "A" and tighten securely. The clutch oil should
+be drained and replenished at least every 5000 miles.
+
+The clutch throwout bearing should be lubricated with one ounce of
+light viscous grease[A] every 500 miles. A pressure fitting is provided
+on the right side of the clutch bell housing.
+
+[Footnote A: _See page 7 for grease specifications._]
+
+
+Transmission
+
+[Illustration]
+
+The transmission lubricant should be maintained to the level of the
+filler plug "A." In warm climate or during summer months use
+transmission gear oil S.A.E. 110. In winter or when near-zero
+temperatures prevail use transmission gear oil S.A.E. 80. Remove drain
+plug "B" every 5000 miles, flush out with 1 pint of kerosene and refill
+with oil of proper type.
+
+
+Rear Axle
+
+[Illustration]
+
+The oil supply should be kept level with the lower edge of the filler
+plug opening "A." Use a good grade of heavy-bodied gear oil. S.A.E. 110
+in warm climate (summer temperatures)--S.A.E. 90 when lower
+temperatures prevail (winter). During the winter months be sure the oil
+you are using will flow at the temperatures encountered.
+
+
+Wheel Bearings
+
+[Illustration]
+
+The front wheel bearings should be lubricated every 5000 miles with a
+good grade of cup grease. Remove hub and wash bearings and inside of
+hub with kerosene. Pack each bearing and hub with 3 ounces of No. 2 cup
+grease (see page 12 for adjusting wheel bearings).
+
+The rear wheel bearings should be lubricated every 5000 miles with No.
+3 cup grease. Remove four nuts from bearing cap "A" and remove caps and
+shims. Pull bearing and after washing bearing and housing in kerosene
+repack each bearing housing with 1-1/2 ounces of cup grease. Then
+replace bearings, shims and caps, draw up wheel hub tight on shaft and
+install cotter pin.
+
+
+Steering Gear
+
+Summer S.A.E. 160
+Winter S.A.E. 110
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Remove plug "A" and pour a good heavy-bodied gear oil into the steering
+gear housing every 2000 miles. Do not use cup grease or you will
+experience hard steering in cold weather.
+
+
+Chassis
+
+[Illustration]
+
+All spring shackle fittings (12) should be lubricated every 1000 miles
+with a light viscous grease.[B]
+
+All pressure fittings on the front axle (4) and the steering gear drag
+link (2) should be lubricated every 1000 miles with pressure grease.
+
+The front universal joint sleeve splines should be supplied with a
+small amount of long fibre grease, through the plug provided, at
+4000-mile intervals.
+
+[Footnote B: _Grease Specifications--4% Calcium Soap compounded with an
+oil of 400 seconds viscosity and a zero pour test._]
+
+
+Generator
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Supply three or four drops (no more) of engine oil to each oil cup "A"
+and "B" every 1000 miles. Do not attempt to supply more oil as it may
+interfere with the functioning of the generator.
+
+
+Distributor
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Fill distributor base with oil at cup "C" every 2000 miles. Coat rotor
+cam "A" with a thin film of vaseline every 2000 miles. Apply one drop
+(no more) of light oil to breaker arm pivot "B" every 2000 miles. Wipe
+excess oil and clean distributor head, removing oil or dust before
+returning to position. Be sure each high-tension terminal and wire on
+distributor head is pushed as far into its socket as it will go.
+
+
+Fan
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Fill fan shaft bearing with engine oil at oil cup "A" every 1000 miles.
+It is very important that the fan shaft has plenty of lubrication at
+all times.
+
+
+Miscellaneous
+
+=Throttle Control Rod=--Oil or grease all accelerator connections.
+Throttle linkage should work with a snap. Grease choke wire
+occasionally to eliminate sticking.
+
+=Door Locks=--Apply a drop of engine oil occasionally to latch bar.
+Work several times to spread oil, then wipe off excess.
+
+=Door Latch Striker Plate=--Saturate wick with motor oil.
+
+=Door Dovetails=--Saturate wick in male member with motor oil.
+
+=Door Hinges=--Open doors and drop light oil in each hinge oil hole,
+located under the top ledge of body portion of hinge. Wipe off excess.
+
+=Hood Locks=--Lubricate occasionally with motor oil.
+
+
+
+
+Adjustment
+
+
+Engine Tuning
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Do not attempt to adjust the carburetor alone. Perform all of the
+following operations in the order given:
+
+ 1. Clean spark plugs and adjust gaps to .025" (.62 mm.).
+
+ 2. Clean distributor breaker points and adjust to .020"
+ (.50 mm.) maximum opening as described under Ignition
+ Timing.
+
+ 3. Check battery and ignition wiring, being sure _all
+ distributor wires are pressed down in their sockets_.
+
+ 4. Set ignition timing as described under Ignition Timing.
+
+ 5. Adjust intake valve tappet clearance to .006" (.15 mm.)
+ and exhaust tappet clearance to .008" (.20 mm.).
+
+ 6. Turn carburetor idling screw "B" into its seat and back
+ out exactly one turn.
+
+ 7. Start engine.
+
+ 8. Set carburetor throttle stop screw "A" so that engine
+ idles at a speed equal to a car speed of 5 m.p.h. in high
+ gear.
+
+ 9. Adjust carburetor idling screw "B" for smooth engine
+ idling. The final adjustment should be from 1/2 to 1 turn
+ of the screw from its full in position.
+
+If the above operations, properly performed, do not give normal engine
+performance, the car should be taken to an Essex dealer for mechanical
+inspection.
+
+
+Ignition Timing
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Remove distributor cap and inspect points. High points can be removed
+by placing a breaker point file between points and letting them close
+against file under their normal spring pressure. Move file straight up
+and down, dressing both points at the same time. If the points are
+pitted, they should be ground or replaced.
+
+Crank engine, using wrench on starter shaft extension, until the
+breaker arm fibre block is on the highest point of the cam, giving the
+points their maximum opening. If necessary to adjust, loosen lock nut
+"D" and turn screw "E" until the gap is .020" (.50 mm.). Tighten lock
+nut.
+
+Remove the spark plug from number one cylinder. Crank the engine slowly
+by hand until air is forced out through the spark plug hole. Continue
+turning the engine slowly until the D.C. 1 and 6 mark is exactly in
+line with the pointer as shown at "A."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Loosen distributor clamp screw "B" and turn distributor clockwise to
+the full limit permitted by the slot in the clamping plate "C."
+
+Turn the distributor counterclockwise until the points have just begun
+to open. Tighten lock screw "B."
+
+When the engine is in this position the rotor arm "F" will point
+directly to the sector in the distributor cap to which number one spark
+plug cable is connected. Following around the cap clockwise from this
+point the spark plug wires should be in the following order:
+1-5-3-6-2-4.
+
+
+Fan and Generator Belt
+
+[Illustration]
+
+The fan and generator drive belt must be kept at sufficient tension to
+prevent slippage on the pulleys. Do not adjust too tightly or rapid
+wear on fan and generator bearings will result. To adjust belt tension,
+loosen nut "A" and swing generator away from engine to tighten. Then
+lock adjustment by thoroughly tightening nut "A."
+
+
+Clutch Pedal
+
+[Illustration]
+
+The clutch rod length should be adjusted so that the clutch pedal can
+be pushed down 1-1/2" before the clearance is taken up between the
+levers on the clutch cross shaft and the clutch throwout yoke shaft and
+further movement of the clutch pedal will begin to disengage the
+clutch.
+
+To adjust: Loosen lock nut "A," remove clevis pin "C" and turn yoke "B"
+to obtain proper length. Insert clevis pin and tighten lock nut "A."
+
+
+Brakes
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Unless you are an experienced mechanic, it is advisable to have your
+brakes adjusted by your Essex dealer. The following operation will,
+however, take care of normal brake shoe wear if done carefully:
+
+Jack up car, remove all four wheels and remove the inspection covers
+from the front of the brake drums. Disconnect the four brake cables
+from the cross shaft; turn the brake drum until the inspection hole is
+1-1/2" from the adjusting screw end of the lining of the upper shoe
+(rear of front brakes--front of rear brakes).
+
+Insert a .014" (.35 mm.) feeler through the inspection hole. Loosen
+eccentric lock nut "A" and turn eccentric "B" in the direction the
+wheel rotates when the car is moving forward until the feeler is held
+snugly between the drum and the lining. Hold the eccentric in this
+position and tighten lock nut "A." Make this adjustment on all four
+brakes.
+
+Turn brake drum until inspection hole is 1-1/2" from adjusting screw
+end of the lining of the lower shoe (rear of front brakes--front of
+rear brakes). Insert a .008" (.15 mm.) feeler through inspection hole.
+Insert a screwdriver through opening "C" and turn star wheel until
+feeler is held snugly. Move the handle of the screwdriver toward the
+axle to tighten brakes. Make this adjustment on all four wheels.
+
+Reconnect the brake cables at the cross shaft, adjusting the position
+of the cable yoke so that the clevis pin can just be inserted in the
+yoke and cross shaft lever hole when the cable is held just taut enough
+to remove slack.
+
+If trial on road shows too much braking on one wheel, loosen that brake
+by turning star wheel with screwdriver one notch at a time until the
+brake is equal with the others. Always loosen the tight brake--do not
+tighten the loose brakes or the pedal travel will be restricted and may
+cause brake drag.
+
+
+Front Wheel Bearings
+
+[Illustration]
+
+After jacking up front axle and removing the hub cap, withdraw cotter
+key holding nut "A." Turn nut "A" to the right until a slight drag is
+felt when turning the wheel slightly by hand. Then loosen the nut just
+sufficiently to permit the wheel to turn freely. Insert cotter key.
+
+
+Rear Wheel Bearings
+
+[Illustration]
+
+To adjust rear wheel bearings, jack up rear axle and remove both rear
+wheels. Remove the four nuts from bearing cap "A" and remove cap. By
+removing shims "B" under the cap the end play of the axle shaft is
+decreased. Total play between axle shafts should be from .005" to .010"
+(.12 to .25 mm.) which is perceptible by pulling shaft in and out with
+the hand. It is necessary that the thickness of shims at each rear
+wheel be approximately the same, so when adjusting remove a thin shim
+from each side and repeat, if necessary, until only a slight amount of
+play is evident. Be sure the axle shafts turn freely before building
+up.
+
+
+Removing and Installing Wheels
+
+To remove a wheel, place a screwdriver between the hub cap and hub and
+pry off cap. Loosen the four cap screws "B" (illustration top of page)
+with the socket wrench provided. Remove one cap screw in the lowest
+position and insert the handle of the wrench through the screw hole
+into the hub. While holding the wheel in position with the wrench,
+remove the other cap screws and lift off the wheel. The wheels should
+be jacked up just sufficiently to clear the ground. When replacing the
+wheel, place the handle of the wrench through the lower cap screw hole,
+lift up on the wrench so that the wheel will clear the ground and push
+in place. Align by moving wrench back and forth. Then start two of the
+cap screws, remove the wrench and start the remaining two. Tighten
+every other cap screw until all are down enough to hold wheel in place,
+making sure it is square on the hub. Continue tightening every other
+screw until all are secure.

+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by

+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
