Distributor suppressor (Part #6003)
Ammeter capacitor (Part #6016)
Generator capacitor (Part #6015)
Static Collector (Part #6009)
Ignition coil capacitor (Part #6014)
Mounting:
The radio is held in place by one mounting
nut on the right side of the radio, and the
two control bushing hex nuts.
The “A” lead (Part #5274211) connects to
the socket in the back of the radio and to the
discharge side of the ammeter.
The antenna connects to the left side of the
radio and the trimmer is located nearby. The
trimmer should be peaked on a weak station
near 1400 Kc with the antenna fully extended.
Install the static collectors in the dust caps
side of the dust cap; this will prevent the col­
lectors from making a lopsided contact with
the wheel spindle, which would cause un­
equal wear and shorten the life of the collec­
tor. Remove any grease from the lathe center-
hole on the axle shaft to insure a good elec­
trical contact. Bend any cotter pins so as to
give the necessary clearance for the collector
contact.
To install static eliminator powder, place
the contents of one small envelope of static
eliminator powder (Part #986035) in an injec­
tor (part #986033). Deflate the tire and attach
the injector to the tire valve. Inflate the tire
to its proper pressure by passing the air
through the injector, repeat for each tire.
A 14 amp. fuse (Part #147685) is used to
protect the radio.
