COOLING SYSTEM CARE
The Corvair engine, being an air cooled engine, is
entirely dependent on the fan belt and blower to supply
sufficient volume of air for cooling purposes. The engine
fan belt should be checked for tightness at regular
intervals and replaced when necessary. Watch the
"Temp-Press" and "Gen-Fan" indicator lights on the
instrument panel for signs of engine overheating.

A
circuit breaker in the light control switch protects
the headlamp circuit, thus eliminating one fuse. Where
29
current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker rapidly
opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the cause
is found and eliminated.
