Clutch: Adjustments


Checking Clutch Free Travel
- Due to the fact that the clutch is fitted with an automatic hydraulic adjuster, the clutch free travel cannot be checked at the clutch pedal. To ensure proper operation of the clutch, however, the push rod must be adjusted correctly.

Adjusting The Pushrod





- Adjust for zero clearance with the pushrod (1) disengaged to allow the pushrod to be pushed over the pin (2) without any load being present. Then preload the pushrod by rotating by one turn and lock with nut (3).

Adjusting The Clutch Spring
- To boost foot pressure, a boost spring is fitted to reduce the pedal force required. To achieve this effect, the boost spring must be preloaded sufficiently.
- When measuring from the inside of the spring cup to the center of the mounting pin, dimension (A) must be 43 mm with the clutch engaged (clutch pedal at end stop).
- If required, correct setting by rotating the wing nut or the hexagon nut, respectively.
