hydraulically operated clutch that does
not require adjustment.
Clutch Fluid Level Inspection and
Adjustment
Warning
Use only DOT 4 specification brake and
clutch
fluid
as
listed
in
the
specification section of this handbook.
The use of brake and clutch fluids
other than those DOT 4 fluids listed in
the specification section may reduce
the efficiency of the clutch system
leading to an accident.
Failure to change the brake and clutch
fluid at the interval specified in the
scheduled maintenance chart may
reduce clutch efficiency resulting in an
accident.
Inspect the level of brake and clutch
fluid in the reservoir and change the
fluid in accordance with the scheduled
maintenance requirements. Use only
DOT 4 fluid as recommended in the
specification section. The brake and
clutch fluid must also be changed if it
becomes, or is suspected of having
become contaminated with moisture or
any other contaminants.
