Clutch Oil
Check to see if the level of oil in the
reservoir is normal. When the level is
too low, check the circuit for possible
leakage and replenish with specified
fluid. The clutch hydraulic circuit
should be drained and refilled when
oil is found to be contaminated. Oil
change intervals : every 60,000km or
1 year.
Bleeding of clutch hydraulic cir-
cuits
If air enters the clutch circuit, it cause
clutch dragging. Therefore, bleeding
operating should be performed if the
clutch fluid reservoir has been emp-
tied due to failure or if the hydraulic
circuit has been disassembled.
Bleeding operation calls for coopera-
tive action of 2 men.
1. Set the parking brake.
Bleeding of clutch hydraulic circuit
should be perfomed with the air
tank emptied.
2. Check the level of clutch fluid in
the reservoir and replenish as nec-
essary.
3. Remove the rubber cap from the
bleeder screw on the clutch mini-
pack and clean the screw.
Connect a vinyl tube to the bleed-
er screw and insert the other end
of the vinyl tube into a transparent
container.
4. Pump the clutch pedal repeatedly
and hold it depressed.
5. Loosen the bleeder screw to
release clutch fluid with air bubbles
into the container and tighten the
bleeder screw immediately.
6. Release the clutch pedal carefully.
Repeat the above operation until
air bubbles disappear from the
clutch fluid being pumped out into
the container. During the bleeding
operation, keep the clutch fluid
reservoir filled to the specified
level. Reinstall the rubber cap.
Any oil other than clutch oil
should not be used for replenish-
ment.
