ASSIGNMENT Bisma Agung Sahputra. 3MC

The document provides instructions for operating a car, including filling the fuel tank without overfilling, starting the engine, warming it up, and running it in. It warns that overfilling the fuel tank can cause fuel to leak if the car is left in the sun. When starting the engine, the gear should be in neutral and handbrake on. The engine should be allowed to reach its correct working temperature quickly rather than idling slowly. During the first 800 km, speeds should not exceed 70 km/h and full throttle or laboring should be avoided to run the engine in properly.

CAR RUNNING INSTRUCTIONS

Filling up with fuel


When filling up with fuel avoid overfilling the tank. The fuel should not be visible in
the filler intake tube. If it is and the car is left in the sun, the fuel may expand. Then
there is a danger of fuel leakage. If the tank is accidentally overfilled, park the car in the
shade with the filler as high as possible.

Fig. 3.1 An over-filled fuel tank

Starting
Check that the gear lever is in the neutral position and that the hand-brake is on. If the
engine is cold, pull out the mixture control (choke). Switch on the ignition, check that
the ignition and oil-pressure lights glow, and operate the starter. As soon as the engine
starts, release the ignition key and warm up the engine. Check that the oil-pressure
gauge is registering or that the oil-pressure light goes out.

Warming up
Warming up the engine by allowing it to idle slowly is harmful and leads to excessive
cylinder wear. The correct procedure is to let the engine run fairly fast, approximately
one thousand revolutions (revs) per minute (1000 rpm), corresponding to a speed of
twenty-five kilometres per hour (25 kph) in top gear. This allows it to reach its correct
working temperature as quickly as possible. Far less damage is done by driving the car
from cold, than by letting the engine idle slowly.

Running in
The way a new car is looked after will have an important effect on its future life. Engine
and road speeds during this early period must be limited. During the first eight hundred
kilometres:
Do not exceed seventy kilometres per hour.
Do not operate at full throttle in any gear.
Do not allow the engine to labour in any gear.
After the running in period, speeds should be gradually increased up to maximum
performance
Ignition light
The light should glow when the ignition is switched on. It should go out and stay out at
all times while the engine is running above normal idling speed. On cars with an
alternator, the warming light should go out immediately the engine is started. Failure to
do so shows a fault in the battery charging system. Check that the fan-belt is correctly
tensioned, before consulting your dealer.
Temperature gauge
When the engine is running, the gauge shows the temperature of the collant leaving the
cylinder head. When the ignition is switched off, the needle returns to the cold position.
