The optional air conditioner provides controlled con
ditioned air at each of the three dash panel mounted
outlets.
Air conditioner and heater are two separate units
with a common control housing-The air condition con
trols function as follows.
COOL -Depress the COOL
lever as required to pro
vide the desired condi
tioned air temperature
through the dash outlets.
COOL lever must be de
pressed past detent be
fore cooling fan will
operate.
FAN-Vary the fan switch as
necessary
to satisfy com
fort requirements. The FAN switch must be turned
ON to at least "LOW" speed during all cooling
operations.
AIR-For maximum cooling capacity during periods of
extreme heat and humidity, and when first turning
on the system, the air lever should be in the full
"UP" position. Depress lever to satisfy needs under
less severe cooling requirements.

AIR CONDITIONER OPERATING TIPS
Always operate the Air Conditioning System with all
windows and vents closed to eliminate drafts, wind and
road noise. The cover plate furnished should remain
installed over the engine air recirculating slot during
the season when cooling is required. This plate should
be removed, and stowed as shown, when outside tem
peratures are continuously below 600 F.
For the best system operation at altitudes over 4000
ft., reduce the cooling output slightly.
Run the system for five minutes every week to lubri
cate seals and moving parts.

Keep your tires inflated to the recommended pres
sures.
Over-inflation can adversely affect riding comfort,
quietness and tire life while under-inflation affects vehicle
handling and tire life.

Switching Tires
When rear tires are replaced, put new tires on front
and used on rear and reset to recommended tire
pressures. ,
FOR MAXIMUM TIRE LIFE
• Ke.ep tires properly inflated.
• Check regularly for cuts, bruises and puncturing ob
jects. Nails etc. will often be carried in the tire with
no noticeable loss of air. Do not remove a puncturing
object until prepared to change or repair the tire.
• Avoid unnecessary sudden starts and stops; take curves
and corners slowly.
•
Avoid driving over curves, sharp objects or chuckholes.
•
Have wheel alignment checked periodically, especially
when tires show unusual wear.
