POWER TRANSMISSION

33 Checking the clutch yoke play
To avoid risk of the clutch slipping, the
clutch yoke travel should be checked and
adjusted if necessary every 10 000 km
(6000 miles).
34 Check the propeller shaft
After every 10 000 km (6000 miles) or once
a year the rubber seal on the spline shaft
and the universal joints should be check-
ed. If the rubber seal is damaged, it should
be replaced and the new seal filled with
molybdenum disulphide grease.

BRAKES

35 Check the brakes
After every 10 000 km (6 000 miles) the ve-
8 A

36 Replacing the booster cylinder air filter
and overhauling the brakes
Every third year or 60 000 km (36 000 miles)
the car should be taken to a Volvo work-
shop for replacement of the booster cylin-
der air filter.
The brake system seals should also be re-
placed at the same time.

FRONT END

37 Check the front wheel alignment
Correct front wheel alignment is of vital
i mportance for the steering of the vehicle.
Faulty adjustment can mean heavy wear
on the tyres. For this reason, have the front
wheel alignment
checked regularly at
your local Volvo workshop every 10 000
km (6 000 miles). If the vehicle has been
i n collision involving heavy impact and it
i s suspected that the wheel alignment may
have been affected, take the vehicle to a
Volvo workshop for a check on the front
wheel alignment as soon as possible.
Volvo workshops have special measuring
equipment for this purpose and can carry
out this control very quickly. The front
wheel alignment angles are shown on
page 67.
38 Check the ball joints, steering rods, etc.
After every 10 000 km (6 000 miles) the ve-
hicle should be taken to a workshop for a
check on the front end concerning exces-
sive play in the ball joints, steering gear,
etc.
After every 10 000 km (6000 miles) or at
least once a year, the ball joint seal should
also be checked for damage and leakage.
When new seals are fitted they should be
filled with the recommended grease.
