CLUTCH PEDAL VALVE ADJUSTMENT.

With clutch pedal down against floor board, adjust the adjustable clevis on link of clutch pedal valve so the line of the valve piston is flush with the face of the valve as indicated by letter "K" in General Diagram. Tighten lock nut against clevis.

THIS ADJUSTMENT IS IMPORTANT.

To obtain a proper shift in the Two-Speed axle, depends largely on the timing of the clutch pedal valve opening with the engine clutch disengagement.

THE VALVE MUST NOT OPEN UNTIL THE ENGINE CLUTCH IS COMPLETELY DISENGAGEMENT. To check the correct valve timing, set selector lever on dash in neutral position. Move transmission shift toward first gear until the gears just start rubbing, declutch slowly till gears stop turning. The clutch is now disengaged. Continue declutching slowly until air is heard passing through selector valve, indicating opening of pedal valve.

There should be ½" minimum clutch pedal travel from disengagement of clutch to the opening of the valve. If necessary readjust engine clutch.
