LIFE GUARD TIRE
The Goodyear Power Cushion Tire
(available
on
Thunderbird, Lincoln
and Continental Mark
III
models)
fit-
ted with
the
Life Guard Safety Spare
provides
a
tire within
a
tire with
two
separate
air
chambers
(Fig.
3). If the
outer tire casing should
be
punctured
or otherwise damaged causing
it to go
flat,
the
Life Guard Safety Spare will
carry
the
load
of the
vehicle
and
will
allow driving
at
speeds
up to 40 mph
with good control
up to a
distance
of
40 miles.
A
Safety-Signal built into
the Life Guard tread produces
a
lope
or vibration indicating
the
outer tire
has lost pressure.

IN-VEHICLE ADJUSTMENTS AND REPAIRS
HOISTING INSTRUCTIONS
Damage
to
steering linkage compo-
nents
and
front suspension struts
may
occur
if
care
is
not
exercised when
po-
sitioning
the
hoist adapters
of 2
post
hoists prior
to
lifting
the
vehicle.
If
a 2
post hoist
is
used
to
lift
the
vehicle, place
the
adapters under
the
lower arms
or
the No. 1
crossmember.
Do
not
allow
the
adapters
to
contact
steering linkage.
If the
adapters
are
placed under
the
crossmember,
a
piece
of wood (2x4x16 inches) should
be
placed
on the
hoist channel between
the adapters. This will prevent
the
adapters from damaging
the
front
sus-
pension struts.
FRONT WHEEL BEARING

be
