Care for
your car

"Before making extensive summer use of a recreational
vehicle, owners should first 'make sure it is properly de-
winterized," says Mike Radigan, National Director of the
Recreational Vehicle Institute. He referred to the process
of readying an RV for hot weather use as "summerizing"
and said the first step in summerizing is to remove signs
of winter,
"Anti-freeze should be drained from the radiator and
fresh water should be bank-ilUglied through the cooling
system," the RVI head suggests,
"Engine oil should be changed and summer oil used —
a new oil filter should be installed. At the same time, it
is a good idea to have the entire chassis lubricated.
"It shouldn't be necessary to change transmission fluid
or differential oil but these should at least be checked, as
should the power steering oil. '
Cheek Spark Plugs
"Master cylinder brake fluid should also be checked."
Other steps toward "summarizing," according to Radi-
gan, include cleaning and gapping (or replacing) spark
plugs and points, recharging battery condition), checking
and replacing if necessary such items as light bulbs, wind-
shield wiper blades, muffler and tail pipe, springs and
shock absorbers.
Radigan also suggested front end alignment checks,
inspection of tires and a general underneath check for
damage of any kind,
"As for the living quar-
ters, the water storage tank
should be thoroughly
flushed out to remove any
anti-freeze you may have
used and to clean out the
tank and water lines, Thor-
ough flushing should con-
tinue for at least 15 min-
utes," the RVI director
advises.
Look for Leaks
"This is a good time to
make sure your pump is
working properly and that
there are no leaks any-
where in your water sys-
tem,"Radigan advised, sug-
gesting similar treatment

He emphasized that spe-

and said that gas appli-
ances should be carefully
tested for correct pilot
flames, in accordance with
manufacturers' instruc-
tions.
Remember These
"An additional check of
all windows, doors, ventila-
tors, cabinets, and a little
oil or graphite on noisy or
stiff hinges ... a final check
of your interior lights, care-
ful inspection of your hitch
and safety chains, and you
should be ready for a sum-
mer full of fun," Radigan
concluded.
In designing anti-emis-
sion systems to help reduce
air pollution, car manufac-
turers are installing hotter-
running engines in today's
vehicles. Therefore, it has
become even more critical
that cooling systems be in
top condition to handle the
higher engine temperatures.
This means that the
cooling .system, should be
gekeiUtwice, year for
the 'following:
'Leak-free radiator;
soundness of all hoses and
connections; properly op-
erating thermostat; radia-
tor cap is sealing efficiently;
water pump is working, and
coolant levels are normal.
4 Proper mixture of coolant,
for both summer and winter
operation, is about 50 per
cent ethylene glycol-type
anti-freeze and 50 per cent
water. This so-called per-
manent-type anti-freeze
should be replaced every two
years or 30,000 miles, which
ever comes first.
