Check clearance between pushrod 3 (Fig. 45) and piston 2 of master cylinder 1 which should
be 0.1-0.5 mm. The clearance corresponds to the travel of pedal 5 through 0.4-2 mm and it is
adjusted with stop 4.
Check free travel of pushrod 6 of
operating cylinder 10 which should be 4-5
mm. Pushrod free travel is adjusted with
nut
8
after
loosening
locknut
9.
Adjustment over, tighten locknut 9.
Upon
completion
of
the
above
adjustments free travel of the clutch pedal
before the beginning of clutch release
should be 25-35 mm. Check the clutch
pedal free travel also after the bleeding of
the hydraulic control system. Presence of
air in the system is indicated by the
spongy pedal and incomplete release of the
clutch (clutch drags). Bleed the system
through the union of operating cylinder 10
in the same way as the brake system.
