ADJUSTMENT

CLUTCH PEDAL (2500 cc MODEL)

1) Turn cruise control clutch switch lock nuts until clutch pedal full stroke length is within specifications.

CAUTION:
Do not attempt to turn clutch switch to adjust clutch pedal full stroke length.

NOTE:
If lock nuts cannot adjust clutch pedal full stroke length to specifications, turn master cylinder push rod to adjust it.

Specified clutch pedal full stroke: A 130-135 mm (5.12-5.31 in)

Tightening torque (Clutch switch lock nut):

8± 2 Nm (0.8± 0.2 kg-m, 5.8± 1.4 ft-lb)





2) Turn master cylinder push rod so that clevis pin moves to the left and then to the right. Clevis pin must move without resistance while it is rattling.

Tightening torque (Push rod lock nut):

8± 2 Nm (0.8± 0.2 kg-m, 5.8± 1.4 ft-lb)






3) Depress and release clutch pedal 2 to 3 times to ensure that clutch pedal and release fork operate smoothly. If clutch pedal and release fork do not operate smoothly, bleed air from clutch hydraulic system.

4) Measure clutch pedal full stroke length again to ensure that it is within specifications. If it is not, repeat adjustment procedures again from the beginning.

Specified clutch pedal full stroke:

130 - 135 mm (5.12 - 5.31 in)

5) Move clevis pin to the left and then to the right. It should move without resistance while it is rattling. If resistance is felt, repeat adjustment procedures again from the beginning.

6) Push release lever until operating cylinder push rod retracts. Ensure that clutch fluid level in reservoir tank increases. If clutch fluid level increases, hydraulic clutch is properly adjusted; if fluid level does not increase or push rod does not retract, replace master cylinder with new one.
