SYNERGIE
CLUTCH : CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS
Adjustment of push and pull action clutch with automatic compensation (adjustment of compensation system)
Engines : RFN - RHZ
WARNING : If a system blockage is detected when checking, or if the pedal has been removed, the pedal
position must be adjusted. This position is obtained by the angular displacement of the stop supports "a"
and "b".
Procedure.
- Loosen the nut (6) and the screw (7).
- Using a lever, raise the stop support (8) to its highest position.
- In this position, there must be a substantial free play in the pedal.
- Lower the support until there is a free play of 2 ± 1 mm.
- Tighten the screw (7) and the nut (6).
- Check that the outer cable slides freely (at rest, the pedal is against its upper stop «A», the outer cable
length should be variable).
Characteristics
- The automatic adjusting device requires no manual adjustment.
- Pedal travel remains constant for all models 145 ± 5 mm.
- Automatic adjustment is achieved by modifying the curvature of the outer cable.
- Take extra care with the routing of the outer cable, and do not add any supplementary fixing points.
