Maintenance Instructions
Clutch
Pedal Free Travel
All International® ProStar
®
+ Series vehicles are equipped with
pull type clutches. If a non-self-adjusting clutch (clutches other
than the Eaton Solo series) was selected, free pedal must
be checked each time the vehicle chassis is lubricated.
If
free pedal is less than 1/2 inch (13 mm), the clutch must be
adjusted. Contact your International® Truck dealer for proper
clutch adjustment procedures. After proper clutch adjustment,
clutch free pedal should be between 1.25 and 1.75 inch (32
mm and 44 mm) and the release bearing should contact the
clutch brake with 1/2 to 1 inch (13 mm to 25 mm) of clutch
pedal travel remaining. Free pedal and clutch brake should be
adjusted by lengthening (increases free pedal and decreases
clutch brake squeeze) or shortening (decreases free pedal and
increases clutch brake squeeze) the horizontal rod if outside of
this specification. Contact your International® Truck dealer for
proper linkage adjustment procedures.
NOTE: Proper clutch and linkage adjustment will provide
adequate clearance between the release yoke fingers and the
release bearing as well as between the release bearing and
the clutch brake for proper operation. Improper adjustment may
cause improper clutch operation, reduce clutch life, and may
void the clutch warranty.
Clutch cross-shafts and throw-out bearings must be lubricated
each time the vehicle chassis is lubricated to ensure smooth
clutch activation and long life.
All new International® ProStar
®
+ vehicles use non-asbestos
clutch linings.
However, exposure to excessive amounts
of clutch material dust (whether asbestos or non-asbestos,
fiberglass, mineral wool, aramid, ceramic or carbon) is a
potentially serious health hazard.
WARNING
To prevent personal injury or death, prevent
breathing clutch lining fiber dust. Always wear a
respirator when doing clutch lining maintenance.
Persons who handle clutch linings should follow the same
precautions as outlined for handling brake linings.
Hydraulic Clutch
Your vehicle is equipped with a hydraulic clutch actuation system.
The reservoir is located just below the cowl, left of center on the
firewall.
CAUTION
To prevent vehicle and/or engine component
damage, use only approved hydraulic clutch
fluid (DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid) in the clutch
hydraulic system.
Do not mix different types
of brake fluid. The wrong fluid will damage the
rubber parts of the system, causing loss of clutch
function.
