Every 7,000 km (4,350 miles)
check the pedal
for free travel.
The adjustment is carried out by acting on the
special
nut on the front end of the
cable
con-
nected to the clutch release lever, until a pedal
free travel
of
20
to
2S
mm (0.78 to 0.98 in.) is
restored.
Every 7,000 km (4,350 miles)
check it for
operation.
Foot brake: no adjustment is required.
It is only necessary to replace the friction pads
when these are worn out down to a thickness
of about 8 mm (0.314 in.). This is denoted by
an
excessive travel of the pedal and by a decrease
in the braking efficiency. The pad renewal is
easily carried out by removing the keep plate.
NOTE
After the replacement of the friction pads, the
brake system becomes efficient only after repeated
operations
of
the pedal, which allows the normal
clearance between pads and disc to be restored.
Hand brake:
adjuster
at the end of the control
cable, under the floor.
Adjust so as to brake the car with
a
hand lever
travel of 3 to 4 teeth.
To adjust, let the pads lightly contact the disc,
then slacken the adjuster by
1/3
of a turn.
To be carried out with the utmost care and
scrupulously
following
the
instructions
given
hereinafter.
