8.
On re-assembly, note that no lu-
bricants are used in conjunction
with plastic bushes, but that a spe-
cial Dow Corning DC33 Medium
grease (A111F6016) is used on the
brake and clutch pedal trunnions.
Take care to correctly identify the
brake and clutch pedals: The bore
for the pushrod trunnion is offet on
the brake pedal towards the pivot.

7. Refit in reverse order to removal, adjusting the brake pedal pushrod as detailed in sub-section JH.7 and the
clutch pedal in a similar manner. The throttle pedal upstop should be adjusted as follows:
Adjust the pedal upstop for a throttle pedal height approximately 30mm lower than the clutch and
brake pedals.
Adjust the length of the ball jointed pull rod to achieve a gap of 20mm between the outer cable
abutment and the inner cable pivotting link on the multiplier lever.
Adjust the cable slack at the engine end abutment as detailed in section EMN (or 'Lotus Check'
operating instructions).
Adjust the pedal downstop so that full travel of the throttle butterfly can just be achieved without
allowing the cable to be strained.
