RECOMMENDATIONS - PRECAUTIONS: MA PILOTED MANUAL GEARBOX

Safety requirements
ESSENTIAL: Given the special features of the MA type piloted
manual gearbox, observe the requirements detailed below.
IMPERATIVE: Always disconnect the battery negative terminal
before operating on the actuators.
NOTE: After disconnecting the battery, never try to remove the clutch
actuator on the vehicle before having checked that it is in the closed
position (rod pushed in) .
IMPERATIVE: After Sales checks done with the engine running
must be performed with «Neutral» engaged and the handbrake
on (unless there is a clear mention otherwise in the repair
procedures).
IMPERATIVE: The areas of movement of the clutch fork and of
the gear engagement lever must always be kept free during the
actuator operating phases.
IMPERATIVE: When initialising the clutch actuator and/or
gearbox actuator, do not allow any person to walk or stand in
front of the vehicle.
WARNING: When the engine is running, it is forbidden to perform
repairs on the clutch and gearbox actuators on the vehicle
(whether manually or using a diagnostic tool) .
WARNING: Each time the driver's door is opened and each time
the igntion is switched on, the gearbox ECU prompts the
initialising of the clutch and gearbox actuators (there is
movement of the clutch fork and of the gear lever).
WARNING: Whether the ignition is switched on or not, an action
on the gear selector causes the clutch fork and the gear
engagement lever to move on the gearbox.
