Top Operation Motor Circuit Breaker
The electric motor is guarded against short circuit and overload by a 30-ampere circuit breaker. Should a short circuit or overload occur in the top operating system, the circuit breaker will automatically interrupt the circuit and will continue to interrupt it until the cause is eliminated.
If the circuit breaker interrupts the current flow for any reason, see your Studebaker dealer.

SNAP FASTENERS
TO RAISE THE TOP—STOP THE CAR
1. Unsnap the boot fasteners along the rear deck and side panels. Uncover the top and let the boot hang over the rear seat back.
2. After pulling down both sun visors, move the top operating lever to the left and hold it in this position until the top header is approximately one foot above the windshield pilots; then release the lever.
3. Grasp the top locking handle firmly with the right hand and guide the top down over the windshield pilots while the left hand holds the top operating lever at its “Raise” position. When the header rests on the windshield, release the control lever. Lock the snap lock at the left of the locking handle on the header. Lock the top securely to the windshield by turning the top locking handle clockwise two or three complete turns. Test the lock by attempting to lift the top free of the pilots.
4. Snap the fasteners in place along the top side rails and side panels on both sides of the top. There are 6 of these fasteners on each side. Let the boot fold down into the top compartment or unsnap the boot from the rear seat back and place it in the boot bag provided.
