NOTE : Insufficient tension reduces considerably the reliability of the toothed belt.
Tension in excess of 180 N ( 18 kg ) ( 40 Ib ) will cause whistling noises.
Consequently. adjust toothed belt tension as tight as possible without it whistling tighten until it whistles whilst
running. and slacken until the noise disappears.

The stopscrew for 3rd gear can be adjusted SK the vehicle.
Carry this out as follows : Slacken locknut ( 1 ) and stopscrew (2 ). Engage 3rd gear. Bring stop-screw i 2 1 into
contact with the selector shaft. and tighten l/2 a turn, which affords a clearance of a.4 to Cl.7 mm.
Tighten lockfiut ( 1) and disengage gear.
NOTE : Adjusting the stop-screw for 2nd gear
con only be carried out with the gearbox removed
from the vehicle. To adjust it, proceed in exactly I
the same manner as for 3rd gear. Checking and adjusting the contacts :
1.
Remove cover ( 3) from the switch unit controliinq
the electro-valve. 2. Check adjustment of contact gaps :
Proceed in the same way far each of the 4 contacts.
a) Engage a gear.
WARNING In order to obtain correct opening
of a contact, the corresponding gear must be
fully engaged. otherwise the adjustment would
not be correct.
b) Check the contact gap corresponding to the
gear engaged, using a set of feeler gauges : Contact gap :
2nd
and 3rd gears 0.8 to 1.1 mm
1st and Reverse 1.3 ? 0.2 mm
c 1 Adjust the contact by slackening screw ( 5)
on the fixed contact (4 mm Allen key ) and
move this contact along its slot.
Tighten screw ( 5) from 0.35 to 0.4 doNm
( 2 l/2 to 3 ft.Ib ).
IMPORTANT : This adjustment must be carried
out with precision, otherwise, the clutch might
disengage at times without the gear lever
having been touched.
