Free Movement Adjustment
Clutch pedal free movement is very important and must be checked at the recommended intervals. If there is no free movement, the clutch disc will wear quickly. If there is too much free movement, the clutch will not disengage correctly and the transmission will be difficult to shift.
Put the tractor on level ground, move the range shift lever in the L position, apply the park brake, stop the engine and adjust the clutch pedal free movement as follows:
Push the clutch pedal down by hand, to measure the amount of pedal free movement.
The pedal free movement must be within the specification shown above.
Adjust the pedal free movement as necessary with the adjusting nuts on the clutch rod.
To increase free movement, turn the nuts in.
To decrease free movement, turn the nuts out. Tighten the nuts to a torque of 44 to 54 Nm (32 to 40 lb ft).
Maximum Pedal Movement Adjustment
The Maximum Pedal Movement is very important and must be checked at the recommended intervals. If there is too little movement, the clutch can disengage. If there is too much movement, the clutch component parts can be damaged.
NOTE: Adjust the Maximum Pedal Movement after adjusting the Free Movement.
