BLEEDING OF CLUTCH SYSTEM
HINT: If any work is done on the clutch system or if air
is suspected in the clutch lines, bleed the system of air.
CAUTION: Do not let brake fluid remain on a painted sur-
face. Wash it off immediately.
1. FILL CLUTCH RESERVOIR WITH BRAKE FLUID
Check the reservoir frequently. Add fluid if necessary.
2. CONNECT VINYL TUBE TO BLEEDER PLUG
Insert the other of the tube in a half±filled container of
brake fluid.
3. BLEED CLUTCH LINE
(a) Slowly pump the clutch pedal several times.
(b) While depressing the pedal, loosen the bleeder plug
until the fluid starts to run out. Then close the bleeder
plug.
(e) Repeat this procedure until there are no more air
bubbles in the fluid.
INSPECTION OF CLUTCH START
SYSTEM
CHECK CLUTCH PEDAL
1. CHECK THAT PEDAL HEIGHT IS CORRECT
(See page CL±3)
2. CHECK THAT PEDAL FREEPLAY AND PUSH ROD
PLAY ARE CORRECT
(See page CL±3)
CHECK CLUTCH START SYSTEM
(a) Check that the engine does not start when the clutch
pedal is released.
(b) Check that the engine starts when the clutch pedal is fully
depressed.
If necessary, inspect the clutch start switch.
INSPECTION OF CLUTCH START
SWITCH
INSPECT CONTINUITY OF CLUTCH START SWITCH
(a) Check that there is continuity between terminals when
the switch in ON (pushed).
(b) Check that there is no continuity between terminals
when the switch is OFF (released).
If continuity is not as specified, replace the switch.
