CLUTCH BOOSTER OPERATING CHECK
For simple checking of clutch booster operation, carry out
the following tests.
(1) Run the engine for one or two minutes, and then stop
it.
(2) Step on the clutch pedal several times with normal pres-
sure.
If the pedal depressed fully the first time but gradually
becomes higher when depressed succeeding times, the
booster is operating properly.
If the pedal height remains unchanged, the booster is
faulty.
(3) With the engine stopped, step on the clutch pedal several
times with the same foot pressure to make sure that
the pedal height will not change.
Then step on the clutch pedal and start the engine.
If the pedal moves downward slightly, the booster is in
good condition. If there is no change, the booster is faulty.
