Turn
the flonge
on the centering
orbor so thot
the longer, cylindricol port
foces the clutch,
push it ogoinst the friction plote
hub, ond olign
the ends of the levers to touch the flonge.
A deviotion from the ploneness
of 0.1 mm
is
permissible. Use feeler gouges for checking
this deviotion.
lf it is not possible
to odiust the out-trovel of
the clutch releose levers to o volue given
by the
length of the flonge cylindricol port
due to
excessive weor
of the friction plote, odiust to
the next higher volue.
Clinch nuts on the
odiusting nuts bocked off up to the end of the
threod ore o worning of o weor limit which pre-
cludes ony further odiustment
of the clutch.
4. After hoving reossembled
the engine with
o new or odiusted clutch,
check ond, if necess-
ory, odiust the cleoronce between the releose
levers ond the throw-out beoring -
see Chop-
ter 15.4.
3.3 CLUTCH DISMANTLING
Owing to its simplicity,
it is not necessory
to
describe in detoil the dismontling
of the clutch,
but some speciol feotures
deserve ottention.
1. lf the friction plote
ond clutch cover ore
intended to be re-used, mork their relotive
positions using centre punch
morks to preserve
the originol bolonce of the ossembly.
2. To dismontle
the clutch, it is
necessory to
compress the clutch cover to relieve the stress
of the releose lever bolts. For this purpose
use
the MP 2-101
ossembly plote
shown in Fig.3.4/1.
After screwing off the releose lever nuts ond
compressing the clutch cover,
the clutch is
reody for dismontling.
3.4 CLUTCH REASSEMBLY
1. Locote
the clutch pressure
plote
on the
MP 2-101
ossembly plote
ond fit springs
on the
cylindricol bosses. Before fitting
the springs, it
is odvisoble to check them for
complionce with
the volues specified
in the following Toble.

Instoll retoining plotes
on the clutch
springs ond fit the clutch cover with releose
lever springs in position.
Assemble the clutch
cover with the pressure plote,
observing the
morks indicoting their relotive positions.
When
ossembling new pot'ts,
their positions
ore of no
consequence.
3. Slip o 4.5 mm high pod
over the ossembly
plote bolts (the
plote
con be used
for Skodo
1000 MB ond Skodo 100 cors os well,
ond by
using pods
of different heights, the plote
con be
odopted for different
types of clutches), fit the
yoke of the
iig on
the plote
bolt ond compress
it by screwing down the nut till the bottom port
rests on the pod.
When compressing the clutch
cover toke core thot the projections
of the
pressure plote
ore correctly centered in
the
cover slots to prevent
o distortion of the clutch
cover.
4. Slip the bottom ends of the releose levers
under the springs instolled in the cover ond fit
them with their longitudinol
slots on the sup-
ports. Slip odiusting woshers on the bolts of the
pressure plote ond screw down the nuts with
their cylindricol port
focing the woshers. Then
odjust the height of the releose levers with
these nuts so thot their ends touch the shoulder
of the yoke
bottom port.
The difference of the
lever height should not exceed 0.'l mm. This
odiustment olso sets the recommended
distonce
of the levers from the pressure
plote
beoring
surfoce.
Use clinch nuts for locking the odiusting nuts
in position,
put
supporting clips under the re-
leose f ever ends os shown in Fig.3.111 ond3.212,
ond slocken the nuts of the ossembly plote.
The
clips ore useful when fitting the clutch to the
f lywheel since it is not necessory to overcome
the tension of the clutch springs.

strictly the following instructions:
1. Mointoin the electrolyte level ot the level
of the perforoted
inserts between the plotes
or
so thot the inserts ore
covered with the electro-
lyte to o moximum height
of 4
mm. The
bottom
limit of the electrolyte level is 3 mm below the
perforoted inserts. Use only distilled woter for
topping up the electrolyte. Add electrolyte only
if it hos been obviously spilt from
the bottery.
In such cose, its density must correspond to
the density of the electrolyte Eemoining in the
bottery. 2. Keep the bottery terminols
cleon, remove
oxides occosionolly, ond
coot the terminols
with minerol
ielly.
3. Wipe off the electrolyte spilt
over the bot-
tery surfoce since it is conductlve ond couses
dischorging of the bottery.
4. Check the
chorging of the bottery occord-
ing to
the electrolyte density or check the
voltoge drop using o voltmeter with o looding
resistor ond comporing the obtoined reoding
with on evaluotion toble or scole.
5. When chorging the bottery
outside the cor,
use chorging current volues occording to the
toble. The voltoge should be
controlloble in the
ronge from 12.6 to 16.8
volts. The fully dis-
chorged bottery is fully chorged in obout 13 to
20 hours when
o) the electrolyte ottoins o density of 1.28 in
oll cells ond does not chonge in o period
of
two hours;
b) the cell voltoge (meosured
with opplied cur-
rent) ottoins o volue of 2.6
to 21
volts ond
does not chonge within two hours
of con-
tinued chorging;
c) oll cells ore lively gossing.
6. An olreody used bottery must not be left
without electrolyte or dischorged os it is opt to
suffer from
such o condition.
7. The bottery in on unused cor must
be
removed ond chorged outside the cor
within
three months ot th-e lotest. lf the cor is under
repoir for o prolonged
period,
toke oll necessory
steps to keep the bottery in good

Sofety Precoutions ond Other Meosures
During chorging, the electrolyte temperoture
must not exceed +40oC. As soon os this
tem'
peroture is reoched, interrupt the chorging or
lower the chorging current (this
opplies es-
peciolly to so-colled quick
chorging).
During chorging, on explosive mixture of hy-
drogen with oxygen is liberoted from the elec-
trrolyte. Therefore, the oreo where the bottery is
chorged must be ventiloted, ond it is forbidden
to opprooch with o noked flome (or
spork) the
cell filling holes (even
ofter o consideroble
period of time ofter the chorging hos been
completed). When chorging the bottery, open the filling
holes of its cells to enhonce degossing.
The electrolyte is on ocid hormful to the skin
ond clothes os well os to ports
of the cor fin-
ished in
enomel. Rinse with woter immediotely
ony contominoted spots.

can be obtained.
Hinges can
be moved on the door pillar in
the
following ways.
1 . Up and down after slackening bolts.
Result:
