Caution

Risk of damage to clutch and other components!

The positions of the engagement bearings must be set correctly.

Adjustment can only be carried out before the clutch is installed.

The position of the engagement bearings must be adjusted after the following tasks:

Clutch has been renewed.

Engaging levers were renewed.

Small ball pin for engaging lever “K 2” has been renewed.

Engagement bearings were renewed.

If you have performed any of the above work, you must now adjust the position of engagement bearings “K 1 and K 2” → Chapter.

Only when the adjustment is correct may assembly work be continued.

If no new parts have been installed, insert removed shims.

Only one shim per engagement bearing may be installed.

Clutch parts must be free of oil and grease.

Risk of damage from clutch adjustment device.

The clutch is self-adjusting. Shocks can have an effect on this adjusting device. Do not allow clutch to fall into gearbox during installation.
