All of them, -we are sure, are good reasons. Accept our congratulations and thanks on -your purchase of a fine motor car. - -Speaking of reasons, we have three for printing this book. First, to -tell you _what you have_ in your car. Second, to tell you _how to -operate it_. Third, to tell you what care it should receive to serve you -best. - -For more technical information as to how your car or any of its parts -operates or how to make any of a multitude of adjustments or repairs, we -refer you to your Studebaker dealer. Studebaker owners operate their -cars with the assurance of a friendly, nation-wide service organization. -Dealers’ men are constantly informed by us of the latest advances in -technical procedures, tools, and equipment. - - The General Service Department - THE STUDEBAKER CORPORATION - - [Illustration: DEALER SERVICE POLICY FOR _Studebaker Owners_] - - - - - BE SURE TO READ YOUR DEALER SERVICE POLICY - - -_With your new Studebaker you received a Dealer Service Policy from your -Studebaker dealer. Please read it carefully._ - -_Under its terms you, as the owner of a new Studebaker, are entitled to -receive from your dealer during the warranty period, two thorough -check-ups which are important to the efficient operation of your car. -These services will be performed gratis only by the dealer from whom you -purchased the car and advance arrangements should be made with him if -these services are to become due while you are touring or after a change -of residence._ - -_Any Studebaker dealer in the U. S. or Canada is authorized to replace, -without charge for material or labor, any parts found to be defective -under the terms of the Studebaker Factory Warranty._ - -_Always keep your Dealer Service Policy with the car during the warranty -period. It will be necessary to present the Policy in order to obtain -the parts replacement privileges under the Warranty from other than the -Studebaker dealer from whom you bought the car._ - - [Illustration: {uncaptioned}] - - GASOLINE - AMMETER - DIRECTIONAL SIGNAL INDICATOR - ODOMETER - DIRECTIONAL SIGNAL INDICATOR - OIL PRESSURE - HEAT INDICATOR - HOOD CONTROL - FOG LIGHT CONTROL - OVERDRIVE CONTROL - CLIMATIZER AND DEFROSTER CONTROL - PARKING BRAKE CONTROL HANDLE - MASTER LIGHT CONTROL - IGNITION LOCK AND SWITCH - - - - - INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS - - -_The driver of a new car should become familiar with the functions of -the instruments and controls described below before operating the car. -Standard equipment varies to some extent between different models. The -illustration above includes both standard and extra equipment._ - - -_Ignition Switch_ The ignition switch is operated by means of a key -which, when turned to the right, supplies current to the ignition system -and accessories. Turned to the left, the key completes the electrical -circuit to the gasoline gage, radio, and other accessories but not to -the ignition. _The ignition key should always be removed when you leave -the car._ - - -_Starter Switch_ The starter is controlled by a button on the toeboard -located directly beneath the clutch pedal. By completely depressing the -clutch pedal, the electrical circuit through the starter switch is -completed. Do not operate starter when the engine is running. - - -_Ammeter_ When the engine is not running and any of the electrical -circuits are in use, the ammeter will register a discharge (-). With the -engine running at a reasonable speed, even though all electrical -circuits are in use, the ammeter will register a charge (+) until the -battery is completely charged, after which the needle should swing back -and remain around the zero mark. Any abnormal fluctuation of the ammeter -needle in either direction is a signal to the driver to have the -electrical system checked and serviced by his authorized Studebaker -dealer. - - [Illustration: {uncaptioned}] - - HEADLIGHT BEAM CONTROL - CLUTCH - BRAKE - STARTER BUTTON - ACCELERATOR PEDAL - - -_Heat Indicator_ The temperature of the coolant in the engine cooling -system is shown by the electric heat indicator which, under normal -conditions, should register within the rectangular mark on the face of -the gage. In summer, and on hot, long drives this may normally be a -little higher. - -If the gage registers an abrupt or continuous rise to the “H” mark, stop -the car immediately and investigate. Check the water level, fan belt, -hose connections, and look for water leaks. Continued use at this -temperature will cause serious damage and unnecessary expense. - -The gage registers only when the ignition key is turned either to the -right or left. - -Check the water level frequently. - - -_Gasoline Gage_ The gasoline gage registers when the ignition key is -turned either to the right or left. If you wish to know the quantity of -fuel in the tank when the engine is not running, turn the ignition key -to the left. It takes about 30 seconds for the gage to register after -the ignition key is turned. - - -_Oil Pressure Gage_ The oil pressure gage indicates the working pressure -of the oil as it circulates within the engine. Normally, the gage will -register between 20 and 40 pounds (1,4 and 2,8 kgs.) at 40 miles (64 -km.) per hour. _This gage does not indicate the amount of oil in the -crankcase._ - -If this gage should fluctuate rapidly or drop to zero, STOP the car -immediately and check the cause. Continued operation of the car under -these conditions will probably cause serious damage. - - -_Locks and Keys_ Two sets of keys are furnished with the car. One key -operates the front door external locks and the ignition switch. The -other key operates locks on the package compartment door (except -Champion Custom) and the luggage compartment lid. - -To prevent unauthorized persons from purchasing a duplicate ignition -key, the key number does not appear on the key or on the face of the -lock, but is stamped on a small metal tag supplied with the keys. The -compartment key number is stamped on the key or on the lock housing. -Both key numbers should be recorded on page 15 of this manual and -elsewhere among the owner’s permanent possessions, after which the metal -tag should be destroyed. - -Duplicate keys may be ordered by key number from the nearest authorized -Studebaker dealer. If the key numbers are not known, the order must be -accompanied by the car serial number. - -Front door lock controls are designed so that either front door, locked -from the inside, may be opened from the outside with the key. This is an -advantage in parking lots when close parking blocks one door. - -If an inside front door handle is set to “lock” position with the door -open and the door is then closed, the lock releases; Studebaker front -doors must be key-locked in such circumstances. The key will always -unlock either of the front doors from the outside no matter whether it -has been locked from the inside with the door lock control or locked -from the outside with the key. - -The next three paragraphs explain the operation of the door locks. - -1. Front door inside handles, when pushed up from the normal position to - lock the door from the inside, will spring back to the normal - position although the lock will remain set. - -2. The front doors are locked from the outside with the key. Turn the - key to the stop clockwise on left front doors and counterclockwise - on right front doors. Return the key to the vertical position to - remove it from the lock. To unlock the front doors follow the same - procedure except turn the key to the stop in the opposite - direction to that used to lock the door. - -3. To lock either rear door of sedans, simply move the inside door - handle upward, whether the door is open or closed. The door will - remain locked until the inside rear door handle is moved downward - to the full open position. - - -_Hood Lock_ The hood lock safeguards your battery, carburetor, and other -under-the-hood equipment against theft and tampering as long as the car -doors are locked. The hood control (marked “H”) is located on the -driver’s side of the car just below the lower end of the instrument -panel. To unlock the hood, pull the control until the automatic hood -lock is released. To raise the hood, release the safety latch as -illustrated. As a safety measure, after raising the hood, remove the end -of the hood prop from its bracket and place it in the hole provided on -the underside of the hood at the front. - -Care should always be taken in raising or lowering the hood. Never try -to force the hood lock or safety latch. This might affect adjustments -which would result in an improperly operating part. - -Lower the hood firmly so that the automatic hood latch and the safety -latch are fastened securely. - - [Illustration: {uncaptioned}] - - HOOD LOCK - HOOD SAFETY LATCH - PROP ROD - HOOD LOCK PLATE - HOOD LOCK CONTROL WIRE - - -_Light Control Switch_ A pull-and-turn type switch control is located on -the driver’s side of the lower instrument board to operate the -headlights, instrument lights, map light, tail lights, and parking -lights. - - -_Parking and Tail Lights_ Pull light switch control to the first -position for parking and tail lights. - - [Illustration: {uncaptioned}] - - HEAD AND TAIL LIGHTS - PARK AND TAIL LIGHTS - OFF - POSITIONS OF LIGHT CONTROL - MAP LIGHT - <TURN> - M L I - PULL - INSTRUMENT LIGHT - <TURN> - M L I - PULL - - -_Headlights and Tail Lights_ Pull the light switch control as far out as -possible (second position) to operate the headlights and tail lights. - - -_Headlight Beam Control Switch_ The foot-operated switch to the left of -the clutch pedal operates the headlight beam. Pressing down on the -switch will change the headlights from country to traffic beam, and vice -versa as traffic conditions require. When the country beam is in use the -red tell-tale light in the speedometer face will be lighted. Use the -traffic beam when approaching oncoming traffic and in city driving. - - -_Instrument and Map Lights_ The instruments are lighted with non-glare -_black light_. Turn the control clockwise for instrument lights. - -In Deluxe and Regal models a map light can be lighted by turning the -control counterclockwise. On these models, this light will also operate -whenever either of the front doors is open. - -_Dome Light_ The dome light in all models is operated by a switch just -to the rear of the right front door. On Deluxe and Regal models, this -light operates on 2-door bodies when either front door is open and on -4-door bodies when either rear door is open. - -There is no dome light in convertible models. - - -_License Plate Light_ The light for the rear license plate is located in -the center of the luggage compartment handle. The light operates -whenever the headlights are turned on. - - -_Stop Lights_ They light whenever the brake pedal is depressed, making a -distinct red light shine to warn following vehicles. - - -_Luggage Compartment Light_ This light goes on when tail lights are -lighted and the luggage compartment lid is open. _The luggage -compartment light is available at slight extra cost._ - - -_Package Compartment_ To open the package compartment door after -unlocking, turn the rotary knob to the right and open door. _An -automatic package compartment light is available at extra cost._ - - -_Ash Receiver_ To remove the tray for cleaning, push down on the -retainer while pulling outward on the tray. - - [Illustration: {uncaptioned}] - -_Front Seat Adjustment_ The front seat is easily adjusted forward or -backward. Move the control lever forward at the driver’s side of the -seat (as shown in the illustration above). This unlocks the mechanism -and permits the seat to be shifted to the desired position. - -In addition to this quickly adjusted shift, there are three basic -positions in which the seat can be bolted by your authorized Studebaker -dealer to accommodate the leg length of the owner. From any of these -basic positions, the front seat adjustment mechanism will give you the -full adjustment range. - - -_Clutch Pedal_ The clutch pedal disengages the clutch when depressed, -engages it when released. The clutch pedal, depressed to the floorboard, -also operates the starter button located directly under the pedal. - - -_Steering Post Gearshift_ The steering post gearshift is operated in the -conventional manner, and provides three forward speeds and one reverse -speed. - - -_Luggage Compartment Lid and Lock_ The luggage compartment lid is -controlled by a lock and handle contained in the rear emblem -incorporating the license plate light and rear license plate bracket. -The luggage compartment lock is operated with the same key which -operates the package compartment lock. - - [Illustration: {uncaptioned}] - - 1. UNLOCK WITH KEY - (_Custom Models Only_) - 2. TURN LOCK RING TO RELEASE - UNLOCK WITH KEY - PRESS UP ON RELEASE PAD - -To close, lock and remove the key. Lower lid firmly to be sure it has -latched. The tight rubber weatherseals have a spring action which will -tend to hold lid in a slightly raised position unless it is firmly -closed. - - -_Brake Controls_ Braking pressure is applied to all four wheels in -proportion to the amount of foot pressure applied to the brake pedal. - -The parking brake lever operates independently of the hydraulic brake -system, applying brake pressure to the rear wheels only. To set the -parking brake, _depress brake pedal and pull back on parking brake -handle_. To release the parking brake, depress brake pedal, pull back -slightly on the handle, press the release button with the thumb, and let -the handle move forward. - - -_Windshield Wiper Control_ The windshield wiper control knob, located at -the top center of the instrument board, must be turned clockwise to -operate the wiper blades. - - -_Windshield Washer_ The Studebaker AC-2047 safety windshield washer is -equipped with a control button mounted on the dash just above and to the -left of the clutch pedal pad. To operate, exert a slight foot pressure -on the button, which will eject water to right and left Windshields. An -antifreeze and wetting agent is available from your dealer for injection -into the water supply jar. - -_Windshield Washers are available at extra cost._ - - -_Seat Cushion Auxiliary Springs_ To vary the front or rear seat cushion -resiliency for the driver or passengers, Select-O-Seat cushion springs -are available as an accessory. - - - - - RUN-IN PERIOD - - -The First 1000 Miles (1609 km.) - -It is desirable to limit driving speeds during the first 1000 miles -(1609 km.) of operation in order that the closely fitted parts of the -engine and chassis may have an opportunity to “wear in” smoothly. - -For the _first 500 miles_ (_805 km._) it is recommended that you do not -drive your car at speeds in excess of _50 miles (80,5 km.) per hour_. -For the _second 500 miles_ (_805 km._) it is recommended that you do not -drive your car at speeds in excess of _60 miles (96,6 km.) per hour_. - -While it is always better to let your engine warm up at lower speeds, -you should, by all means, follow such a practice during the first 1000 -miles (1609 km.) of operation. - -Further, it is well to avoid _continuous_ high speed driving during the -first 1000 miles (1609 km.) even though the engine has been warmed up. - - -Engine Oil During Run-In - -The use of special run-in oils is not necessary. Use only engine oils -produced by reputable oil companies. - -During the run-in period it is important to change the oil shortly after -the engine is put into operation. Therefore, change oil _at least_ by -the end of the first 1000 miles (1609 km.). After 1000 miles (1609 km.), -change oil regularly. See page 32. - -It is a good practice to have the oil level checked whenever gasoline is -purchased. Keep oil at the Full mark. _Do not overfill._ - -The viscosity of the oil to be used depends entirely upon prevailing -temperatures. See page 33. - - - - - LOCATION OF VEHICLE NUMBERS - - - Serial Number The serial number of your car is stamped on a plate - attached to the left front door lock pillar post. - Record it in the space provided. - Engine Number The engine number is stamped on a machined pad at - the upper left front of the cylinder block. Record - it in the space provided. - Body Number The body number is stamped on a plate attached to - the dash under the hood. Record it in the space - provided. - Key Numbers _Ignition and front doors:_ - This number is stamped on a metal tag furnished with - the keys. Record it in the space provided. - _Package Compartment and Luggage Compartment Doors:_ - This number is stamped on the compartment key or on - the lock housing. Record it in the space provided. - - -_Paint and Trim_ When ordering paint materials be sure that the serial -and body numbers above as well as the paint color name printed on the -sticker attached to the underside of the package compartment accompany -your order. - -When trim materials are needed, it is important that the serial and body -numbers which you have recorded above be furnished. - - - - - OPERATING THE CAR - - -Starting The Engine - -Before starting the engine be sure the gearshift lever is in neutral -position. Depress the accelerator to the toeboard once only and then -immediately release it. This permits the automatic choke to come into -full operation. This operation is essential to easy starting. Turn the -ignition key to the right. Then depress the clutch pedal to the toeboard -to operate the starter. - -If engine should not start after a few revolutions, completely depress -accelerator and, holding it in this position, operate starter. - - -_Starting a Hot Engine_ It is easier to start a hot engine if the -accelerator is held approximately halfway to the floorboard until the -engine starts. Release the accelerator as soon as the engine starts. - - -_Warming Up the Engine_ A gasoline engine performs best when it reaches -an operating temperature of approximately 170° F. (76,7° C.). This is -the normal range indicated by the rectangular mark on the face of the -heat indicator. In cold weather the engine temperature should be raised -by allowing the engine to idle slowly before driving the car. - -Do not drive the car until oil pressure registers on the gage. If it -registers above 40 lbs. (2,8 kgs.), drive slowly until pressure returns -to normal, or approximately 40 lbs. (2,8 kgs.). - -After starting, the high idle system may cause the engine to “race”. If -so, depress and immediately release the accelerator. - - -Push or Tow Starting - -Should the battery fail to supply enough current to start the engine -with the starter, place the transmission in conventional high gear and -either push or tow the car until the engine starts. _OD control (on cars -so equipped) must be in Out position._ Be sure ignition is On and -parking brake released. - - -Shifting the Gears - -To shift the gears in either the conventional or overdrive ratios with -the steering post gearshift lever, follow this procedure: - - - TO SET CAR INTO MOTION - -1. Start engine and with clutch pedal still depressed, place gearshift - lever in low (first) gear position. - -2. Release parking brake. - -3. Release the clutch pedal gradually and at the same time slowly - accelerate. - - - TO SHIFT FROM LOW TO SECOND GEAR - -1. At approximately 10 miles (16 km.) per hour, release accelerator and - depress clutch pedal. - -2. Place gearshift lever in second (intermediate) gear position. - -3. Release the clutch pedal gradually and at the same time slowly - accelerate. - - - TO SHIFT INTO HIGH (THIRD) GEAR - -1. At approximately 18 miles (29 km.) per hour, release accelerator and - depress clutch pedal. - -2. Shift lever into high (third) gear position. - -3. Release the clutch pedal gradually and at the same time slowly - accelerate. Without overdrive, this is the highest or cruising - gear ratio. - - - TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE GEAR - -1. _Bring the car to a complete stop._ - -2. Depress clutch pedal. - -3. Place lever in reverse gear position. - -4. Release the clutch pedal gradually and at the same time slowly - accelerate. - - -_Shifting Tips_ To avoid excessive wear on the clutch, transmission, and -drive mechanism, never try to jump gears (that is, do not shift from low -to high, or start out in second and avoid using low) and never shift -from any gear—even the neutral position—into reverse until the car’s -motion is stopped. Also, never make a gear shift until the clutch pedal -is depressed, disengaging the clutch. Make it a habit to pause for an -instant in neutral as the gearshift lever passes from one gear ratio to -another. - - -Transmission Overdrive - -The automatic overdrive operates only when the control handle, next to -the hood control handle and marked OD, is in its full forward position. -It engages automatically when the accelerator is released momentarily at -or above the overdrive cut-in speed of 30 to 35 miles (50 to 55 km.) per -hour. - -If, while in overdrive, it is desired to gain more power for passing -cars in traffic or on grades, push the accelerator to the floorboard. -This cuts out the overdrive and it will remain inoperative until the -accelerator is again released. At that time the overdrive again engages -automatically. - -The overdrive control can be pulled out, thereby locking the -transmission in the conventional position. This should be done for -descending steep, mountainous grades, _or when pushing or towing the car -to start the engine_. The circumstances under which this change can be -made safely are as follows: - -1. To change the transmission from overdrive to the locked-in - conventional position while the car is standing still, merely pull - out the OD control. - -2. To change the transmission from overdrive to the locked-in - conventional position when driving below the overdrive cut-in - speed of approximately 30-35 m.p.h. (50-55 km.) accelerate the - engine and at the same time pull out the OD control. - -3. To change the transmission from overdrive to the locked-in - conventional position when driving in overdrive, completely - depress the accelerator past the wide-open throttle position and - as soon as the transmission is in conventional, pull out the OD - control. - -If the OD control is in the locked-in conventional position (pulled out) -it can be placed in the overdrive position while the car is standing -still. To make this change when the car is moving at any forward speed, -accelerate slightly and push the control fully forward. - -_Overdrive is available at extra cost._ - - -Automatic Hill Holder - -The automatic Hill Holder retains the same degree of braking effort on -an upgrade as that applied by the driver in stopping _as long as the -clutch pedal is depressed_. The Hill Holder does not operate on level or -descending surfaces. However, the clutch must be depressed before -releasing the brake pedal. This permits the right foot to be removed -from the brake pedal to operate the accelerator when ready to resume -forward motion. Releasing the clutch pedal releases the action of the -Hill Holder. - -To use the Hill Holder when stopping on an upgrade, depress the clutch -pedal and then apply foot brakes. The right foot may now be removed from -the brake pedal. To release Hill Holder action, release the clutch -pedal. - -_Hill Holder is special equipment for the Champion available at extra -cost._ - - -Studebaker Climatizer and Defroster - -The Studebaker Climatizer is a fresh air heating and ventilating system. -Fresh air passes through an air duct and then through the Climatizer -heater core. The warmed air is discharged forward and rearward from -below the front seat and spreads uniformly through the car interior. - -The Climatizer heat output is thermostatically controlled so that you -may select the degree of heating desired and be assured of its remaining -constant until you reset the control. Pushing or pulling the control -regulates a thermostat which in turn controls the flow of water through -the heater coils. The further outward you pull the control, the warmer -will be the hot air output of the Climatizer. - -When the engine cooling water is cold and the control is in the closed -position, the thermostat permits a full flow of water into the heat core -until the temperature at the thermostat unit (just above the accelerator -pedal) reaches approximately 70° F. (21° C.). As the water gets warmer, -the thermostat will maintain that temperature. If you desire more heat -in the car, pull the Climatizer control. After using the Climatizer a -few times you will find the position of the control that gives you the -heat in the car which best suits your comfort. Further regulation of the -control will be unnecessary. - -If you wish to obtain maximum heat flow in extremely cold weather, pull -the handle to its full “out” position. This will lock the valve open -until you push the handle forward. - - -Climatizer Operation - -The entire range of Climatizer and defroster operation is controlled -through the use of the Climatizer and vent controls. The Climatizer -control operates thermostat when pulled or pushed, operates blowers when -turned. The vent control opens and closes the right outside cowl -ventilator. - - [Illustration: {uncaptioned}] - - [Illustration: {uncaptioned}] - - HIGH - HEAT REGULATION - OFF - POSITIONS OF CLIMATIZER CONTROL - 1. Defroster High - 2. Defroster Low - 1. Climatizer Motor - 2. Climatizer Motor Plus Defroster Motor - -1. To open the outside right cowl ventilator, move the control lever - (directly beneath the package compartment) to the left. This is - the position of the ventilator whenever you operate the Climatizer - or want to draw fresh outside air into the car through the - Climatizer system. To close the ventilator, move the control lever - to the right. When using Climatizer, be sure the inner ventilator - door is closed. - -2. Pull Climatizer control handle outward to the position which gives - the temperature desired by the car occupants. The further outward - the control is pulled, the warmer the air will become. - -3. Turn the Climatizer control handle clockwise to the first position to - operate the Climatizer blower. Turning the control to the second - position clockwise will continue the Climatizer blower operation - and will also add the operation of the defroster blower. - - Air forced through the Climatizer system at car speeds above 25 - m.p.h. makes use of the Climatizer blower unnecessary when - traveling steadily at or above such speeds. - -4. Slight opening of one or more ventilators or windows permits some - measure of directional control over circulation since warm air - flow will be increased towards such openings. For uniform - temperature and defrosting efficiency throughout the entire car, - however, it is generally recommended that windows and vents be - fully closed. - -NOTE.—If upon entering a cold car, the accumulation of moisture on - windshield and windows appears excessive, open the ventilator - windows for rapid circulation until the moisture begins to clear. - - -_Defroster Operation_ Turn the Climatizer control counterclockwise to -the first position for maximum hot air flow through the defroster ducts; -turn control to the second position to reduce the defroster air flow. - -_Climatizer and defroster are special equipment available at extra -cost._ - - -Operation of the Convertible Top - -The mechanically operated top of the Studebaker convertible models is -raised and lowered by an electric motor and prelubricated driving arms -and gears. The mechanism is controlled by a lever located at the left of -the two control handles at the lower edge of the instrument panel on the -driver’s side of the car. Moving the lever to the left raises the top, -and to the right, lowers it. When the lever is released from either of -these positions, it automatically returns to the central position, -stopping the electric motor. - -_Always let the motor operate the top—never try to force the top up or -down by hand._ - - -Top Operation Motor Circuit Breaker - -The electric motor is guarded against short circuit and overload by a -30-ampere circuit breaker. Should a short circuit or overload occur in -the top operating system, the circuit breaker will automatically -interrupt the circuit and will continue to interrupt it until the cause -is eliminated. - -If the circuit breaker interrupts the current flow for any reason, see -your Studebaker dealer. - - [Illustration: {uncaptioned}] - - SNAP LOCK - LOCKING HANDLE - TO RELEASE - TO LOCK - - - TO LOWER THE TOP—STOP THE CAR - -1. Unsnap the fasteners on both sides of the top cover at the points - indicated in the illustration below. Snap the top cover boot in - place on the rear of the seat back. Remove any packages or other - material from the top well behind the seat. - -2. Pull both sun visors down and release the snap lock at the left of - the locking handle on the header. Turn the top locking handle at - the center of the header fully to the left (counterclockwise). - Lift the top free of the pilots. - -3. Move the control switch lever to the right and hold it in this - position until the top rests on the rear deck of the car; then - release the lever. - -4. Cover the top with the boot and snap all boot fasteners in place. - - [Illustration: {uncaptioned}] - - SNAP FASTENERS - - - TO RAISE THE TOP—STOP THE CAR - -1. Unsnap the boot fasteners along the rear deck and side panels. - Uncover the top and let the boot hang over the rear seat back. - -2. After pulling down both sun visors, move the top operating lever to - the left and hold it in this position until the top header is - approximately one foot above the windshield pilots; then release - the lever. - -3. Grasp the top locking handle firmly with the right hand and guide the - top down over the windshield pilots while the left hand holds the - top operating lever at its “Raise” position. When the header rests - on the windshield, release the control lever. Lock the snap lock - at the left of the locking handle on the header. Lock the top - securely to the windshield by turning the top locking handle - clockwise two or three complete turns. Test the lock by attempting - to lift the top free of the pilots. - -4. Snap the fasteners in place along the top side rails and side panels - on both sides of the top. There are 6 of these fasteners on each - side. Let the boot fold down into the top compartment or unsnap - the boot from the rear seat back and place it in the boot bag - provided. - - - - - NOTICE - -The radiator of this car may be equipped with a _pressure-type cap_. If -it is so equipped, remove the cap by turning it slowly half-way to the -open position and pausing to permit relief of any vapor or steam -pressure present. Then complete turning of cap to the stop and remove -it. - - - - - LUBRICATION - - -Periodic Inspections - -It is good for reasons of economy and to forestall unexpected need of -service to have your car inspected once a month or at 1000 mile (1609 -km.) lubrication periods. An ideal time to have many of the parts or -units inspected is while the car is on the lubrication hoist in the -raised position. - - -Lubrication Operations - -Proper lubrication is good assurance that your car will continue to -perform with increasing satisfaction. Only high quality lubricants -should be used on your car. - -Your Studebaker dealer knows every lubrication requirement for your car. -Take it to him for periodic lubrication. The recommendations given in -the following paragraphs are, in many ways, the most important in the -entire booklet. If a lubrication service must, of necessity, be -performed by a non-Studebaker serviceman, be sure he understands the -requirements mentioned in this section and on the charts on pages 28, -29, and 30. - -_Universal Joints_ Lubricate with light weight chassis lubricant at 1000 -mile (1609 km.) intervals.

The oil filler pipe -cap contains a filtering element to clean the air of any impurities -before it enters the crankcase. This filter is easily cleaned by -removing the cap and immersing it in kerosene. Allow filter cap to dry -thoroughly. Then dip cap in a good grade of engine oil so that filtering -element is thoroughly oil coated. Drain off excess oil and replace cap. -It’s a good idea to have the oil level checked when purchasing gasoline. - -Never allow oil level shown on oil level gage to fall below the ADD OIL -mark. DO NOT OVERFILL. - - -_Engine Oil Filter_ The Fram oil filter (on cars so equipped) assists in -removing dirt and foreign matter from the oil and is provided with a -replaceable filter element. - -Under normal conditions the Fram Filter cartridge should be replaced -after approximately every 5000 miles (8046 km.) of operation. Severe -dust conditions may warrant replacing the cartridge at correspondingly -lower mileages. - -When it is necessary to replace the cartridge, care should be taken to -see that a new cover gasket is installed and that the cover is securely -tightened. The cover should also be checked occasionally to make sure -that it remains tight. - - -_Engine Oil Renewal_ Engine oil should be changed _at least_ by the end -of the first 1000 miles (1609 km.). After this period the oil should be -changed regularly, the frequency depending on the condition of the oil -as affected by operating and atmospheric conditions. - -Under average driving conditions oil should be changed at 2500 to 3000 -mile (4023 to 4828 km.) intervals. - - -_Engine Oil Viscosity_ “Engine oil viscosity” is a term which indicates, -broadly, the “body” of the oil to be used in your engine, although other -scientific considerations enter into assigning viscosity numbers to oil. - - [Illustration: _Change oil filter element every 5000 miles! - Check oil level whenever you buy gasoline!_] - -Generally speaking, you use a thin oil in winter because it flows more -freely in cold temperatures than a thick oil. Since, as stated above, -the oil in your car’s crankcase, if of good quality, will be useful for -many hundreds of miles, it is impractical to change oil more often than -necessary. Therefore, we list below the viscosities of engine oil -recommended for your car at lowest prevailing temperature generally -expected in your locality during the various seasons of the year. - - [Illustration: {uncaptioned}] - - LOWEST TEMPERATURE ANTICIPATED OIL RECOMMENDATION - - +32° F. (0° C.) S.A.E. 30 - +10° F. (-12.2° C.) S.A.E. 20 - -10° F. (-23.3° C.) S.A.E. 10W[2] - Below -10° F. (-23.3° C.) S.A.E. 5W[3] - - -[2]Oil in cans marked 10W or S.A.E. 10-10W is satisfactory for use where - S.A.E. 10W is recommended. - -[3]The engine should not be operated at sustained high speeds when using - S.A.E. 5W engine oil. - - -Most of the higher priced motor oils sold today contain chemical -detergents which hold extremely small particles of carbon or other -foreign matter in suspension. Many of the particles are so small that -they flow through the oil filters with the oil and remain in suspension. -For this reason, oil which is perfectly good for lubrication purposes -may be discolored when seen on the oil level gage. With such oils the -need for an oil change should be governed by the mileage the oil has -been used and the dust conditions prevalent during that mileage. As long -as the oil retains a “slick” quality and good body, it is generally -satisfactory. - - [Illustration: Raise or lower car with jack _outside_ bumper bar.] - - UP POSITION - DOWN POSITION - - [Illustration: Remove wheel cover ... retaining nuts ... and wheel.] - - VERTICAL BUMPER BAR - - [Illustration: Replace spare and tools snugly in proper spaces.] - - JACK SHAFT HOLDER - JACK SHAFT - RETAINER NUT - RETAINER - JACK MECHANISM - JACK HANDLE AND WHEEL LUG WRENCH - JACK BASE - - - - - If you must change a tire ... - - -1. Before using jack, set parking brake by depressing brake pedal and - pull outward on parking brake handle. On steep grades, it may be - advisable to block the front or rear wheels as an extra precaution - against rolling. - -2. Open luggage compartment and unscrew single lug nut to free spare - wheel and tire. Remove jack base, jack handle, spare wheel and - tire, and bumper jack. - -3. Place jack base so that jack lip will contact underside of bumper at - outer edge of the vertical bumper bar on the flat tire side of the - car. Also place base so that it will be about one inch inward from - the outer edge of the bumper. - -4. Put the jack mechanism lever in the UP position. Place lip of jack in - contact with the underside of the bumper against the outer edge of - the vertical bumper bar. - -5. Use chisel end of jack handle to remove hub cover. Then place chisel - end of the jack in the jack mechanism and jack up the car. Note—If - tire to be changed is on a front wheel, jack up only a few notches - to be sure jack is secure, then start wheel lug nuts loose before - continuing the jacking up process. On rear wheels, the parking - brake will hold the wheel so that the nuts can be loosened after - the car has been jacked up. - -6. On wheels on the left side of the car, the wheel lug nuts are - left-hand threaded. To remove them, use the hexagonal wrench end - of the jack handle and turn the nuts clockwise. On wheels on the - right side of the car, the nuts are removed by turning them - counterclockwise. Nuts are installed by turning them in the - direction opposite to that used in removing them. - -7. Raise car with jack until wheel is free of the road and can revolve - freely. This is important to be sure you have enough clearance to - install spare. Remove flat tire and wheel and place spare wheel - and tire over studs. Install lug nuts and tighten uniformly and - firmly. - -8. Lower jack by first placing jack mechanism lever in its DOWN position - and work the jack with the handle in the same manner as when - raising car. - -9. Replace tools and spare in this order: Jack shaft and mechanism go - into the holder provided at the right of the spare wheel well. - Jack mechanism must fit snug against bulge of tire to prevent - rattling. Next install the spare wheel and tire, being sure the - hinged bolt comes through the wheel hub hole. Place retainer plate - over bolt and screw on the retainer nut. Wedge jack handle and - jack base between tire and well. Put luggage compartment lid - handle in closed position, _lock handle and remove key, and close - lid_. - - - - - MAINTENANCE AND CARE OF CAR - - -Storage Battery - -The storage battery is located under the hood on the left side. The -carrier clamp bolt wing nuts should be kept finger tight but not so -tight as to crack the battery case. - - [Illustration: Place cap on safety-vent forming air lock in - breather-chamber] - - [Illustration: Fill well with distilled water. Air lock prevents - solution rising above bottom of well.] - - [Illustration: Remove cap from safety-vent and solution drops to - correct level. Replace cap in filter hole.] - -Have the following three items checked frequently: - -1. Water level—maintain at the proper height with distilled water. - -2. The specific gravity of the battery solution. - -3. Battery connections—should be clean and tight. - - -_Charging Precautions_ It is advisable to observe the following -precautions when charging a battery at home or elsewhere. During the -charging and for a short time immediately thereafter, the chemical -reaction in the battery gives off hydrogen gas in sufficient quantities -as to be explosive. When working near a battery being charged, or just -after it has been charged, it is important that no flame or spark have -an opportunity to ignite the hydrogen gas. To prevent possibility of a -static electricity spark’s causing such an explosion with the battery in -the car, it is well to ground the car electrically by means of a metal -bar or chain running from the car’s frame or bumper to the ground. When -the charging or recently charged battery is out of the car, it should be -placed where it will not be exposed to flame, spark, or static -electricity. - - -Minimize Oil Dilution and Sludge - -The crankcase is provided with a cross ventilation system to reduce -harmful dilution of the engine oil by water and fuel. Crankcase dilution -is aggravated by low speed driving with frequent stops and starts -because the engine does not warm up to the normal operating temperature. -The driver can materially assist in preventing this condition by -observing the following suggestions: - -1. After starting, give the engine time to warm up before driving. - -2. Keep the engine in good mechanical condition. See that the - compression is good and that the ignition and carburetion systems - are kept in peak condition. - -3. Clean the crankcase at least once a year, preferably when winter oil - is changed for summer weight oil. - -4. Use the proper grade of a reputable engine oil. - -5. Use a good grade of fresh gasoline. - -6. Check thermostat operation. - -Operating an engine at subnormal temperatures causes a much more rapid -dilution of the crankcase oil than is experienced at normal -temperatures. - - -Rust and Corrosion Inhibitor - -Because of the chemical reaction between metal and the lime or other -minerals in water, one U. S. pint (.833 Imperial pt., 0.47 liters) of an -approved inhibitor such as Studebaker Cooling System Rust Inhibitor or -Resistor should be added to the cooling system of every new car and -replenished as needed throughout the life of the car. This will help -protect the entire cooling system (radiator, cylinder block, cylinder -head, and water pump) from any chemical corrosions, rust, or -calcification within the radiator core which may restrict the passages. -This does not, however, dispense with the need of flushing the cooling -system seasonally, spring and fall. Following each draining a pint of -the inhibitor should be used unless it is included in the new coolant. - -Many anti-freeze compounds do contain a rust inhibitor. Ask your dealer -whether the anti-freeze you use during the winter is of this kind. If -so, it will not be necessary to install a rust inhibitor in the cooling -system while such an anti-freeze is in use. - - - - - CAUTION - -Carbon Monoxide _is a lethal gas, odorless, tasteless, and colorless, -found in the exhaust fumes of all engines. Never start the engine in a -closed garage. Always open garage doors wide before starting the engine -and keep the doors open as long as the engine is operating._ - - -Gasoline Economy - -The kind of gasoline you use in your new Studebaker is an important -factor in performance, economy, and service. - -It is important to purchase your gasoline from a dealer selling the -product of a reputable refinery in sufficient volume to assure fresh, -clean gasoline which hasn’t accumulated moisture, dirt and tank -settlings from lying dormant for relatively long periods. - - -_Speed_ Drive at a moderate and constant speed. - - -_Idling_ Shut off the engine while parked, even for a few minutes, such -as waiting for long freight trains at railroad crossings. Idling, except -to warm up a cold engine, is sheer waste. - - -_Stopping_ Come to a gradual stop whenever possible. This saves fuel, -brake lining, and tires. - - -_Accelerating_ If peak economy is to be obtained, acceleration must be -gradual. Rapid acceleration wastes gasoline. - - -_Tires_ Keep your tires properly inflated. - - -_Lubrication_ Keep both the engine and chassis well lubricated at all -times. This reduces friction to a minimum. - - -_Mechanical Condition_ Periodic “tuning” of the engine by your -Studebaker dealer’s service department will insure maximum mechanical -efficiency necessary to good gasoline mileage. - - -Tire Inflation and Care - -Inflate and check tires to recommended pressures given on page 53 with -the tires cold (at atmospheric temperatures), and not after a long run. - -If your tires are checked immediately after a long run, do not permit -the attendant to reduce the pressures by letting out air. Wait until the -tires have had a chance to cool before checking pressures. - -You can ensure more even wear of all tires by having your Studebaker -dealer criss-cross them according to the latest factory recommendations -at approximately 4000 mile (6437 km.) intervals. Have tires and wheels -checked for need of balance after each criss-crossing. - - -Ignition Timing - -For economy of fuel consumption and noiseless combustion relative to the -type of gasoline used, the ignition timing may be advanced or retarded. -Such an adjustment should be made by your Studebaker dealer. - - -Carburetor Air Cleaner - -Two types of air cleaner are available for Studebaker cars. One is the -“oil wetted” type for cars operated a greater part of the time over -pavement and roads which are comparatively free from dust. The other is -known as the “oil bath” type and is available at extra cost for cars -operated where dust conditions are severe. - -Dust particles, although microscopically small, are highly abrasive and -tend to score and cut the smooth glasslike surfaces of working -parts—increasing the rate of wear. The proper type of air cleaner -installed on your car, properly maintained and serviced, will increase -the life of the engine, and aid in maintaining its normal efficiency. - - [Illustration: OIL WETTED AIR CLEANER] - - WING NUT - FILTER ELEMENT - -Because local conditions alone determine the frequency of air cleaner -service, it will be necessary to ask your dealer how often this should -be performed. - - - TO SERVICE THE OIL WETTED AIR CLEANER - -1. Remove the filter element, clean with kerosene, and shake out until - dry. - -2. When thoroughly dry submerge in a good grade of engine oil and allow - excess oil to drain before reinstalling the element in the - cleaner. - -3. Replace filter element and wipe off all excess oil. - - - TO SERVICE THE OIL BATH AIR CLEANER - -1. Remove the filter element, clean in kerosene, and allow to dry - thoroughly. - -2. Clean the oil reservoir. - -3. Pour one pint of new engine oil into the reservoir. S.A.E. 50 for - above 32° F. (0° C.) S.A.E. 20 for below 32° F. (0° C.) is - recommended for this purpose. Do not use an oil lighter than - S.A.E. 20 in the cleaner at any time. - -4. Reassemble element and filter unit and install on car. - - [Illustration: OIL BATH AIR CLEANER] - - WING NUT - COVER AND FILTER ASSEMBLY - OIL LEVEL - RESERVOIR - - -Draining The Cooling System - -To drain the cooling system, drain the radiator, block, and, if car is -so equipped, Climatizer and defroster. - - [Illustration: _ALL FIVE OF THESE OUTLETS MUST BE OPENED WHEN - DRAINING THE COOLING SYSTEM._] - - _Remove one defroster hose under the hood._ - _Cyl. Block water drain._ - _Radiator drain._ - _Remove both hoses from Climatizer heater core._ - - -Anti-Freeze Solutions - -Either the alcohol-base or ethylene-glycol base anti-freeze is -recommended for use in your Studebaker. Be sure the brand you select -contains a rust inhibitor. Do not use an anti-freeze preparation which -contains salt, sugar, calcium chloride, soda, or petroleum base -compounds. - -Reputable anti-freeze companies supply their dealers with charts showing -the amount of anti-freeze to use for protection to various anticipated -temperatures, depending upon cooling system capacity given on page 53. - - -Care of Car Finish - -The high luster, hard-baked enamel finish of your new Studebaker is best -retained by an application of approved Studebaker Cleaner and Polish or -Cleaner and Wax after each washing. The enamel, however, should not be -subjected to an application of wax of any kind during the first 60 days -so that sufficient time may be provided for the finish to become fully -hardened. - -Approved Studebaker appearance maintenance materials are available from -your Studebaker dealer. These are recommended to remove the accumulation -of road scum and dullness resulting from weather or road conditions and -to restore the luster of the enamel finish. Do not become alarmed when -polishing or waxing if a slight amount of color appears on the cloth. -This is a natural condition. - -Alcohol, anti-freeze mixtures containing alcohol, and calcium chloride -or other chemical mixtures used to melt snow and ice or to settle dust -should be flushed with water as soon as possible in order to avoid -damage to the enamel finish and chromium parts. - - -Washing the Car - -When washing the car, first saturate all foreign substances on the -finish with cold water. Then use a clean sponge and running water for -the removal of dirt. Dry the body with a clean, damp chamois skin, using -a straight horizontal or vertical motion, rather than a circular motion. -It is important that a different sponge and chamois skin be used on the -body from that used on the chassis. - -Chromium and nickel plated finishes are of a perishable nature and will -deteriorate if not properly cared for. These parts should be kept clean -and free from dirt and foreign matter. To clean chromium plated parts, -use clear water and a clean cloth. To protect the finish after the parts -are cleaned, apply a coating of paste-type body wax. _For further -details on chrome plated parts, see the card placed in the package -compartment._ - - -Care of Cloth Upholstery - -Clean upholstery means not only a better looking automobile but gives -longer wear and affords greater comfort and enjoyment. - -The use of a vacuum cleaner and a thorough brushing of the upholstery -and headlining (with the nap or pile) will usually brighten the interior -noticeably. Remove the cushions from the car and brush to remove foreign -particles from the fabric. - -Studebaker Fabric Cleaner (available through Studebaker dealers) is -effective in removing all types of stains and does not harm the -upholstery. - -Seat and side upholstery can be washed safely with soap and water. Use -lukewarm water and a neutral soap. The suds should be good and frothy, -not watery. Apply in moderate quantities with a damp cloth, sponge, or -soft brush. Remove soap suds with a clean, damp cloth or sponge, then -wipe the surface several times with a dry cloth. While the material is -still damp, brush it lightly with a whisk broom or brush of medium -stiffness. Permit air to circulate freely over the wet upholstery. When -dry, brush again to loosen any minute matting. When brushing, always -brush fabric with the lay of the pile or nap. - - -Cleaning Leather Upholstery - -Leather upholstery may be cleaned with a soft sponge and saddle soap. -Make a light suds with lukewarm water and saddle soap. This type of soap -is especially suitable for cleaning leather and leaves the surface soft -and pliable. - -Rinse the sponge occasionally in clean water. After completing the -cleaning operation, use a clean, soft cloth to polish the surface of the -leather. - - -Cleaning Rubber Parts - -Studebaker Chromium Cleaner (powder type AC-1464) is recommended for -cleaning white sidewall tires. Studebaker Black Rubber Finish is -recommended for black tires and all black rubber parts. - - -Care of the Convertible Fabric Top - -The life of any convertible top can be materially lengthened if care is -taken to _lower the top only when it is dry. Never operate the top motor -when the car is in motion._ - -Tops used on Studebaker convertible models are made of a two-ply -material. The face of the black top is made of cotton and rayon. The -face of the light-colored tops used on some Studebaker convertible -models is made of _Orlon_[4] acrylic fiber and will not shrink, mildew, -or stretch as a result of exposure to the elements. These facing -materials are bound to a cotton backing material. - - -_Cleaning_ Traffic grime and most other soiling may be removed by -washing the top with a sudsy mixture of mild (neutral) soap and warm -water. A soft brush may be used if necessary. Strong solvents, naphtha, -or carbon tetrachloride are not recommended for cleaning this fabric. - - -_Rear Windows_ of convertible tops are made of a clear plastic material. -They should not be wiped while dry since the abrasive particles in the -dust will tend to scratch the surface of the plastic. Clean the -convertible top rear window by flooding it with cold water and wiping -off the dirt with a soft cloth or sponge during the flooding process. - - -[4]Du Pont trade-mark. - - - - - SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS - - -Engine Tune-Up - -Occasionally your serviceman will recommend an engine tune-up. The -frequency of tune-ups depends almost entirely on the amount of driving -and the type of driving you do. When you purchase a tune-up, we -recommend that you request at least the following operations: - -1. Check the manifold heater valve for free operation. - -2. Clean and adjust spark plugs; install with new gaskets. - -3. Clean carburetor air cleaner. - -4. Clean fuel pump bowl and strainer; install with new gasket. - -5. Clean inside of distributor cover, cable terminals, and sockets. - -6. Tighten cylinder head cap screws to recommended tension. - -7. Adjust fan belt. - -8. Remove and clean carburetor choke thermostatic control. Replace with - new gasket and adjust, if necessary. - -9. Check and set ignition timing. - -10. Adjust carburetor idle screw with engine at normal operating - temperatures. - -11. Adjust idle stop screw to produce engine speed corresponding with 8 - miles (13 km.) per hour road speed in high gear. - - -Adjustments and Other Service - -_Carburetor Adjustment for High Altitude_ The carburetor is carefully -calibrated to provide efficient operation. Studebaker dealers are -acquainted with the adjustments which are needed for high altitude -operation. - - -_Brake Adjustment_ The self-adjusting brakes on your car are -self-compensating for lining wear and require no adjustment. They are -properly set at the factory. - -With each application of the brakes, however, the linings wear and, -after a time, new linings should be installed to provide the maximum -braking area and to avoid damage to the brake drums. When the lining -needs replacement, the self-adjusting feature ceases to operate. When -this occurs, the brake pedal free travel will increase and the driver is -warned that the brakes need relining. If your brakes do not operate -satisfactorily, see your Studebaker dealer. - - -_Clutch Pedal Travel Adjustment_ Clutch pedal free travel is the -distance the pedal moves forward before resistance of the release -mechanism is felt. When the free travel is greater than one inch (25,4 -mm.) or less than one-half inch (12,7 mm.) adjustment should be made by -your Studebaker dealer. - - -_The Hill Holder_ (on cars so equipped) should be checked and adjusted -if necessary whenever the clutch pedal travel is adjusted. - - -_Fan Belt Adjustment_ To insure efficient fan, water pump and generator -operation, it is important that the fan belt is not over-tightened. Any -readjustment should be performed by a Studebaker dealer. - - -_Front Wheel Camber Adjustment_ Camber adjustment is properly set at the -factory ½° greater on the driver’s side of the car than on the other -side. Should a front end alignment check reveal need of camber -readjustment, it should be set as nearly to ¾° on driver’s side and ¼° -on the other side as possible. In any setting, the driver’s side camber -should be ½° more than the other side. - - -_Body Drain Holes_ All drain holes should be kept open to prevent -accumulation of water. - -The door drain holes are easily cleared with a pen-knife or other flat -instrument which can be inserted in the holes and run back and forth a -few times to loosen any congestion. - -Body drain holes should be cleaned by the serviceman. - - See page 54 for minimum seasonal service recommendations. - - [Illustration: Criss-cross Tires Regularly. (See page 41)] - - - - - TECHNICAL REFERENCE DATA - - -If emergency adjustments or repairs must be made at shops other than -authorized Studebaker dealerships, ask the repairman to refer to this -section of your Owner’s Guide to be sure that he understands the several -“special-to-Studebaker” measurements and other service data given below. - - IGNITION - - Breaker point gap .020″ (0,508 mm.) - (_Check every 10,000 miles_ [_16,090 km._]) - Breaker arm tension 17 to 20 oz.
