(a) Loosen the lock nut and turn the adjusting bolt until the height is correct.
(b) Tighten the lock nut.
(c) After adjusting the pedal height, check the pedal freeplay.
3. CHECK THAT PEDAL FREEPLAY IS CORRECT AS SPECIFIED
Push in on the pedal until initial clutch resistance is felt.
Pedal freeplay: 5 – 15 mm (0.20 – 0.59 in.)
[Push rod play at pedal: 1 – 5 mm (0.04 – 0.20 in.)]
4. IF NECESSARY, ADJUST PEDAL FREEPLAY
