==================================================



The ventilation system requires that you operate
4 levers to make it work. 3 of the levers are on the dash, and the other is
between the seats on newer Pooscheys there are 2 levers between the seats).

The top lever on the dash actually does several different things (remember,
it is a fiendish German device, just like the rest of the car). Pushing it
to the middle opens the dust ports leading to the windshield (see below for
operation of fogging machine and oil mist spray device). Pushing it to the
right past the middle also activates the rattling noise-maker device. There
are three loudness levels to choose from. Pushing the lever all the way to
the left is used to jam the cable so unauthorized personnel cannot operate
any of the devices above. The lever also enables the automatic heat
exchanger signalling device -- when opening it spews rust particles on the
windshield, you should replace the heat exchangers. Also, if opening it
causes you to immediately turn blue or purple (not just hair, but skin
color) and become unconscious, you (or your estate) should definitely
replace the heat exchangers.

The second lever from the top controls the lights on the White House Xmas
tree. Move it to the middle to turn on the lights, and all the way to the
right to fire 4500 Megatons of Nukes at Iraq.



The bottom lever on the dash is used to replace the windshield when it
becomes scratched or pitted with rock chips. It also determines how much
hot air goes to your feet as opposed to your head. For example, let's say
the engine is completely warmed up and the hot air is burning your feet. If
it's a cold day, you can flip the lever to the other side and shoot hot air
onto the windshield so it cracks and shatters. Then call your insurance
company (you do have insurance, don't you?)

The lever between the seats controls the oil mist spray device. When the
engine is warmed up, this lever allows you to blow oil mist into the
passenger cabin. Using the top dash lever lets you select whether you want
the oil mist to coat the inside of the windshield or to just circulate
around your feet. On a newer Pooschey, you have 2 levers on the floor
between the seats. The left hand lever lets you open the left side vents
which are aimed so they burn the feet of the person in the right hand seat,
and the right hand lever lets you open the right side vents which are aimed
so they burn the feet of the person in the left hand seat. Of course, each
lever will also burn just the tops of the feet of the person in the other
seat. If you are driving in the rain (or even stopped in the rain after the
car has broken down), these levers also let you spray a fog of water vapor on the windshield, so no one can see in or out of the car -- sort of like privacy glass.

After watching Iann's video on cleaning side dash vents I decided to put some filter material inside to avoid the dust in the face issue.

Man, that was funny. Reminded me a bit of some of Peter Egan’s writing.
