5.2) Adjusting the stroke for clip extraction
When manually adjusting the clamps ensure
THE ENGINE IS SWITCHED OFF.
If the machine has been running the Exhaust may be
very hot, beware when using the Starting Cable.
The lower ring nut establishes the piston stroke during extrac-
tion. To adjust proceed as follows:
Turn the lower ring nut of one piston so as to bring the
reference line to an intermediate position on the graduated
scale (Ref. to Fig. 16).
The reference line corresponds with the end of the ring
nut.
Pull and turn knob (34), release extraction tooth (40) and prepare it for extraction (Ref. to Fig. 18).
Fully lower the machine in correspondence with the clip (Ref. to Fig. 14 & 15).
Once the exact adjustment has been found on one piston, position the ring nut on the other piston at the
same value on the graduated scale.
5.2.1) Parked position
Carry out a clip extraction (see § 4.9.2) and check the position of the clip.
In the "parked position" the cap on the clip should normally be at a predefi ned distance (X) from the edge of
the spacer insulator (Ref. to Fig. 19), except where stated otherwise.
If this is not the case, to increase the distance (X) during extraction, unscrew the lower ring nut towards zero,
then re-try extraction. Conversely to reduce the distance (X), tighten the lower ring nut towards the number
three. Several attempts may be necessary to obtain the exact clip position, using the graduated scale to make
fi ne and exact adjustments.
Once you have found the exact adjustment for one piston, position the ring nut of the other piston at the
same value on the graduated scale.
PARKING POSITION
5.2.2) Insulator change position
Follow the instructions in § 5.2.1 being careful to adjust the lower ring nut to increase the piston stroke, thereby
favouring greater retraction of the clip.
For the FE clip further increase the piston stroke, facilitating the complete release of the clip.
