NOTE:
Clutch pedal play increases as the clutch disc wear.
Unless adjustments are made, the clutch will even-
tually start slipping and render the vehicle undrive-
able.
2 Clutch operation
Make sure that the clutch pedal operates without
unusual noise or excessive resistance. Check also
that depressing the clutch pedal allows you to move
the gearshift lever easily to the various gear posi-
tions, and that the clutch engages smoothly without
slipping when the clutch pedal is released slowly.
The air drier contains a desiccant that removes
moisture from compressed air.
As part of pre-operational checks, open the drain
cock of the air tank. If a large amount of condensate
drains out, the desiccant has become ineffective
and must be replaced.
If the condensate coming out from the exhaust port
of the air drier contains an abnormal quantity of
oil, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized
dealer.
Replacing the desiccant involves some disassem-
bly. This operation should be performed by an
authorized dealer.
