Clutch Pedal Free Play
Clutch pedal "free play" must be checked every 15,000 miles
and readjusted when free play has disappeared to prevent
premature release of the throwout bearing and resultant
clutch failure.
Electrical System
Your vehicle is equipped with a 12-volt, negative-ground
electrical system which Is charged by an alternator and con­
trolled by a voltage regulator. All models have electronic
ignition which uses an electonic control unit, trigger wheel
and sensor circuit, requiring minimum servicing.
Emission Controls
Federal and State regulations have been established for the
control of emissions from new motor vehicles. All Jeep ve­
hicles produced for the domestic market are equipped with
various systems to conform with these regulations when the
vehicle is delivered to help control contaminants.
Due to the vital importance of following Jeep Corporation
engineering recommendations on specific checks and ad­
justments for proper engine performance, adjustment speci­
fications are shown on a label located in a convenient place
under the hood on CJ models. On Cherokee, Wagoneer, and
Truck models, the label is on the engine air cleaner.
Refer to the Mechanical Maintenance Schedule for the rec­
ommended maintenance intervals and services necessary for
emission control.
Be sure to keep a record of all emission control services
performed. A handy record form is on page 86 of this manual.
It's a good idea to also retain applicable invoices and repair
orders.
Catalytic Converter
Catalytic converters are used on all CJ models with V-8 en­
gines, on all Jeep models built for sale only in California, and
on all six-cylinder CJ's with altitude compensation.
A catalytic converter is a muffler-like canister located in the
exhaust system between the engine and muffler. Two types
are used, but both function the same way. The pellet type is
filled with small alumina beads coated with a platinum palla­
dium mixture. The monolithic type is filled with a honeycomb
material also coated with a platinum palladium mixture.
