CLUTCHAND BRAKE

(International Cub Cadet 71, 102 and 122 Tractors)

As the clutch and brake are both operated by the same pedal, care must be taken to maintain a neutral zone so the clutch is dis- engaged when the brake is applied.

ADJUSTINGTHE CLUTCH

It is important that a clearance of .050- inch be maintained between the clutch release lever and the clutch release bearing. In order

to maintain this clearance. the pedal should

have a free movement of approximately 3/16-

inch. SeeIllust. 21. This measurement is taken at the point of contact of the pedal arm withthe

front edge of the pedal return stop.

The clutch pedal adjustments are set at the

factory and should not require frequent atten-

tion unless the linkage has been disturbed or

when the pedal movement becomes less than

3/16-inch. When it is necessary to adjust the

clutch, turn the adjusting nut "A" on the clutch

release rod (1IIust. 22) in or out as required to

get the proper measurements.

ADJUSTINGTHE BRAKE

The brake should engage when. the pedal arm is pressed down to within a maximum of

l-5/l6-inches and a minimum of 3/4-inch dis- tance above the top of the left foot support, which serves as the pedal stop. SeeIllust. 21.

It may be possible to push the pedal all the way down to the pedal stop, but this is of no concern as long as the brake is engaged when the pedal arm is at least 3/4-inch above the

pedal stop.

To adjust the brake, loosen the jam nut

"B" and turn the brake lever adjusting screw

"C" (1IIust. 22) in or out as required to get thismeasurement. The brake must not engagebefore

the pedal arm is within the maximum

distance of 1-5/16-inches above the pedal stop.
