Operation 14*. Adjusting free travel of
clutch pedal
IMPORTANT!
A too long pedal travel
will not allow to the clutch to be fully dis-
engaged and will make the gear switch-
ing difficult. Absence of a free pedal trav-
el will cause slipping of clutch disks,
quick wear of friction facings and over-
heating of the clutch parts.
To adjust free clutch pedal travel:
• Unsplint and remove the pin (2), hav-
ing disconnected the rod (5) from the
lever (1).
• Loosen the locknut (4).
• Unscrew the bolt (8) so that the pedal
rod (6) would move upwards to the
stop against the cab floor.
• Turn the lever (1) counterclockwise to
the stop, i.e. when the release bearing
touches pressing arms.
• By unscrewing the fork (3), align the
openings in the fork with those in the
lever (1), and then screw the fork into
the rod (5) by 5 to 5.5 turns (i.e. make
the rod shorter). Link the fork (3) with
the lever (1) with the pin (2).
• Assemble the leverage of the clutch
pedal in reverse order.
IMPORTANT!
Make sure that the clutch
pedal returns reliably to the stop against
the floor at the distance of free pedal
travel. Otherwise, adjust the servo-unit
springs (7) by means of the bolt (8) or
reposition the holder (9) by turning it rel-
atively to the fastening bolt axis.
