31 Checking the clutch yoke free travel
To avoid risk of the clutch slipping, the clutch yoke free travel should be
checked and adjusted if necessary every 10 000 km (6 000 miles). For data see
page 55.
The clutch should be checked and adjusted at a Volvo workshop since these
workshops have the proper equipment.
32 Check the propeller shaft
Every 10 000 km (6 000 miles) or once a year the rubber seal on the spline shaft
should be checked as well as the universal joints. If the rubber seal is damaged,
it should be replaced and the new seal filled with molybdenum disulphide grease.

Brakes

33 Check and overhaul the brakes
After every 10 000 km (6 000 miles) vehicles should be taken to a Volvo work-
shop for a check on the functioning of the brakes.
In connection with this check, the brakes should also be inspected for wear.
Every third year or 60 000 km (36 000 miles) the brakes system seals should
also be replaced.
Replacing the booster cylinder air filter
34
Normally, the booster cylinder air filter should be replaced every 40 000 km
(25 000 miles). Where driving conditions are mainly dusty, replace more often.
Replacement should be done by a Volvo workshop which has the proper
equipment.

Front end

Check the front wheel alignment
35
Correct front wheel alignment is of vital importance 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,
for example after every 10 000 km (6 000 miles). If the vehicle has met with a
collision involving heavy impact and it is suspected that the front end 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 therefore carry out this control very quickly.
The front wheel alignment angles are shown on page 56.
Check the ball joints, tie-rod, etc.
36
After every 10 000 km (6 000 miles) the vehicle should be taken to a Volvo
workshop for a check on the front end concerning excessive play in the ball
j oints, tie-rods etc. At this check, the ball joint seals should be inspected for
damage and leakage. When new seals are fitted, they should be filled with the
recommended grease.
