Keep --Snowmobile Travel Smooth With
Basic Maintenance Program
Like an athlete getting
ready' for the season, a new
snowmobile engine needs
proper conditioning before
it can perform at its best:
'Champion Spark Plug
Company advises that 10 or
15 hou,Q_„of operation at
part -throttle is the key to
good performance there-
after. Snowmobile operators
who run their brand-"'ri'ew
machines at full -throttle run
the risk of damaging engines.

Of Car Wash
Saves Paint

Coin-operated car washes
must be used correctly to
protect paint surfaces from
serious damage, according to
E. J., Hartmann, president of
Ziebart Process Corporation.
Hartmann said, "A number -
of people have complained to
us recently that the paint on
their automobiles_is .not re-
taining its b'f1Tl'ia'ince and., in
some cases, that it is actually
pitting and deteriorating. Oki
further investigation, we
have found that these people
are frequent ,users of coin-
-operateel-- washers;.-- ---
"Questioning
.-.. __"Questioning these com-
plainants, we have found
that they have the habit of '
trying to get in and out of
the coin -opera d washes as
quickly as poss° le in order
to save spendi g an extra
coin for additi nal minutes
of wash time.
"The result, ' said Hart-
mann, "is that they may Rf
have sawed an additional
quarter but they leave the
wash without completing the
job. Rather than spend the
money. needed to do the job
right, they will try to squeeze
a complete job in the me-
tered wash time purchased'
with one or twocoins. Often'
when they leave, their cars
carry with thein a layer of
filmy soap. This remains on
the cars and dries, only to
liquefy later .with rain. •
"The soap solutions used
in these car washes are fine
-tb clean away road fllm, but
they are not meant to be left
on the paint surfaee. I would
warn motorists that they
should use the coin-operated
washes correctly. Take sev-
eral coins with you and spend
what is needed to, do the job
right," Hartmann said.

SNOWMOBILES, LIKE CHILDREN, NEED LOTS OF ATTENTION. This young lad's father is running a quick "pre -trip"
check to insuresafe going. it's a good idea to carry a basic tool set and extra spark plugs in the snowmobile's
storage compartments just in case.
