Plan Booklet. The Recommended Maintenance
and Lubrication Service items in
this booklet have been worked out by Chevrolet service personnel and cover
items which
are the owner's responsibility to have checked, inspected, adjusted
and lubricated at recommended time or mileage intervals.
If the services are carried out at the prescribed time or mileage intervals,
wear and owner expense will be kept to a minimum. Additiona .I services may
become necessary
as mileage accrues, however, the regular visit that you make
to your Chevrolet
dealer in following this Plan will point out desirable services
as they become necessary.
In the event warranty repair is required on your Corvair, the Chevrolet
Protect-O-Plate affixed to the back cover of your Protection Plan booklet
will
assist in identifying you and your Corvair to your Chevrolet dealer.
