Tune-up

Motorists who have fob,
lowed the regularly sched-
uled program of car care
prescribed in the owner's
manual can forget about
winterizing,
"Most 'can't start' calls
for assistance are the re-
sult of vehicle neglect
rather than vehicle fail-
ure,"
"Poorly tuned engines,
and weak batteries are
responsible for 80 per cent
of all wintertime emer-
gency road service calls."
10-point check list
for keeping a car in peak
operating condition, once
it is properly tuned:
1. Check plugs and
points regularly. Dirty or
worn plugs waste gas and
put an added strain on the
battery because they re-
quire more electricity than
clean plugs. If points are
worn, they cannot' deliver
peak power to plugs.
2. Have car's automatic
choke cleaned and adjust-
ed. If automatic choke
doesn't cut down when en-
gine is warmed up, gaso-
line is wasted.
3. Inspect the cooling
system. Hoses, radiator,
pressure cap and thermo-
stat as well as the anti-
freeze level should he
checked regularly.
4. Make sure car hat-
[cry is fully charged,' with
terminals clean and secure
and water covering battery
plates. Battery should lie
free from cracks or corro-
sion. Periodic inspections
will assure that battery is
properly charged.
5. Check voltage regu-
lator. An undercharged.
battery will fail and an
overcharged battery will
buckle its cover and bulge
the sides, causing leaks.
6. Is the exhaust sys-
tem noisy? A /rusty or
leaky muffler or exhaust
manifold is a carbon mon-
oxide hazard.
7. Check windshield
wipers and washers for
proper operation. Worn
or poorly functioning
wiper blades cut visibility
and should be replaced.
Water in the windshield
washer reservoir should
have an added solvent all
Year long. It not only pre-
vents freezing, but helps
wipers remove slush or
accumulation for better
visibility.
8. Make sure defrost-
ers and heater are work-
ing properly.
9. Check fan belt and
other belts for proper ad-
justment and replace them
if worn. A slipping belt af-
feels the alternator and
operation of the car air
conditioner.
10. Have a periodic
general safety check made
every 10,000 miles, hi-
eluding inspeetiOn of
brakes, headlights
'
hoseS,
turn signals, Iiack,tip
lights and tires, Check
brake and trarisinission
fluid levels and fluid level
in the rear axle.
