(c) Place the ”SHEET A” (SST) on the actuator checker.
SST 09990−00163
4. INSPECT BRAKE ACTUATOR OPERATION OF
FRONT RH WHEEL
(a) Start the engine, and run it at idle.
(b) Turn the selector switch of the actuator checker to
”FRONT RH” position.
(c) Push and hold in the MOTOR switch for a few seconds.
Make sure that you can hear the motor running.
(d) Depress the brake pedal and hold it for about 15 seconds,
and check that the brake pedal does not go down.
(e) With your foot still applying onto the brake pedal, push
MOTOR switch and check that the pedal does not pul-
sate.
(f) Depress the brake pedal and hold it. As you hold the ped-
al down, push and hold in the POWER SWITCH for a few
seconds. Check that the pedal does not go down.
NOTICE:
Do not keep the POWER SWITCH pushed for more than 10
seconds.
(g) With your foot still applying onto the brake pedal, release
the POWER SWITCH and check that the pedal goes
down.
(h) With your foot still applying onto the brake pedal, push the
MOTOR switch and check that the brake pedal returns.
(i) Release the brake pedal.
5. INSPECT FRONT LH WHEEL
(a) Turn the selector switch to ”REAR RH” position.
(b) Repeating (c) to (i) in the step 4, check the actuator oper-
ating similarly.
6. INSPECT REAR RH WHEEL
(a) Turn the selector switch to ”FRONT LH” position.
(b) Repeating (c) to (i) in the step 4, check the actuator opera-

CLUTCH PEDAL
INSPECTION
1. CHECK PEDAL HEIGHT IS CORRECT
Pedal height from asphalt sheet:
157.6 − 167.6 mm (6.205 − 6.598 in.)
2. IF NECESSARY, ADJUST PEDAL HEIGHT
Loosen the lock nut and turn the stopper bolt until the height is
correct. Tighten the lock nut.
3. CHECK PEDAL FREEPLAY AND PUSH ROD PLAY
(a) Push in on the pedal until the beginning of clutch resis-
tance is felt.
Pedal freeplay: 5.0−15.0 mm (0.197−0.591 in.)
(b) Gently push on the pedal until the resistance begins to in-
crease a little.
Push rod play at pedal top:
1.0−5.0 mm (0.039−0.197 in.)
4. IF NECESSARY, ADJUST PEDAL FREEPLAY AND
PUSH ROD PLAY
(a) Loosen the lock nut and turn the push rod until the free-
play and push rod play are correct.
(b) Tighten the lock nut.
(c) After adjusting the pedal freeplay, check the pedal height.
(d) Connect the air duct and install the lower finish panel.
5. INSPECT CLUTCH RELEASE POINT
(a) Pull the parking brake lever and install wheel stopper.
(b) Start the engine and idle the engine.
(c) Without depressing the clutch pedal, slowly shift the shift
lever into the reverse position until the gears contact.
(d) Gradually depress the clutch pedal and measure the
stroke distance from the point the gear noise stops (re-
lease point) up to the full stroke end position.
Standard distance:
25 mm (0.98 in.) or more
(From pedal stroke end position to release point)
If the distance is not as specified.
Inspect pedal height.
Inspect push rod play and pedal freeplay.
Bleed the clutch line.
Inspect the clutch cover and disc.
