ABSTRACT:
An adjusting mechanism to compensate for clutch disc wear is located in the lever linkage of the clutch, fixed to the cover. Rotational movement axially moves an adjusting ring, thus performing the adjustment. In a first embodiment, the locking member is pushed down to release the bolt head for the adjusting mechanism to allow it to be rotated. In a second embodiment, the locking member is pushed down to release the locking member, which also engages the bolt head for the adjusting mechanism, to permit rotation of the locking member and, consequently, adjustment of the clutch. In a third embodiment, the locking member is attached by means of a fastener to the bolt head and is removed to permit adjustment.
