CONCERNED
aRefit:
-the adjustment handle,
-the locking mechanism, taking care to correctly in-
dex the cam and the toothed plate in the bracket
opening,
-the nut on the adjustment handle.
III - FINAL OPERATION
aRefit the steering wheel lower cover.
aConnect the various connectors.

Note:
When refitting the handle, ensure that the retain-
ing spring and the two notched segments are
correctly positioned. Check that the teeth are
interlocked and not in the tooth on tooth position.
Note:
The amount of effort required to operate the han-
dle is determined by how much it is tightened.
Test to determine the correct tightening. The
measurement of effor t must be made with a
torque wrench (Unlocking effort - 10N minimum /
Locking effor t - 60N maximum).

Bleed screw with two clips.
aTo open the bleed screw, lower the clip (6) and lift
the clip (7) while pulling by one notch.
III - BLEED PROCEDURE IF NO PARTS OF THE
HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT ARE REMOVED
1 - Bleed using the ARC50.
aKeep the clutch pedal in the upper position using a
strap attached to the steering wheel to ensure conti-
nuity of the hydraulic circuit during the bleed opera-
tion.aConnect the brake circuit bleeding device (after
having received Renault approval) to the master cyl-
inder reservoir (see the instructions for the equip-
ment).
aRemove the bleed plug from the clutch slave cylin-
der.
aConnect a transparent pipe to the bleed hole running
to an empty container placed under the bleed hole.
aOpen the bleed screw.
aOpen the circuit between the bleeding device and
the brake fluid reservoir.
aLet the brake fluid run until all air bubbles have been
released.
aStop the bleeding device to dump the pressure in the
clutch circuit.
aClose the bleed screw.
aRemove the transparent pipe from the bleed hole.
aRefit the bleed plug.
aTop up the brake fluid level in the master cylinder
reservoir after disconnecting the bleed device.
aDisengage and engage the clutch quickly around
twenty times.
aCheck that the clutch system is operating correctly.
aRepeat the bleed operation if necessary.
aCheck the adjustment of the switch. (see 37A, Me-
chanical component controls, Clutch pedal
switch: Removal - Refitting, page 37A-52) (37A,
mechanical control elements).

2 - Bleed using a new syringe.
aKeep the clutch pedal in the upper position using a
strap attached to the steering wheel to ensure conti-
nuity of the hydraulic circuit during the bleed opera-
tion.
aRemove the bleed plug from the clutch slave cylin-
der.
aConnect a transparent pipe of sufficient length to the
bleed hole (at least thirty centimetres) in order to
place it at the same height as the reservoir.
aOpen the bleed screw.
aFill the brake fluid master cylinder reservoir until
brake fluid flows out of the bleed screw.
aConnect a new hydraulic circuit bleed syringe
filled with a useful volume of 60 ml of approved
brake fluid to the end of the transparent pipe.
aSlowly inject the entire contents of the syringe into
the hydraulic clutch circuit without injecting any of
the air from the top section of the syringe.
aClose the bleed screw.
aRemove the transparent pipe from the bleed hole.
aRefit the bleed plug.
aTop up the brake fluid level in the master cylinder
reservoir.
aDisengage and engage the clutch quickly around
twenty times.
aCheck that the clutch system is operating correctly.
aRepeat the bleed operation if necessary.
aCheck the adjustment of the switch. (see 37A, Me-
chanical component controls, Clutch pedal
switch: Removal - Refitting, page 37A-52) (37A,

HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT ARE REMOVED.
a
Note:
Take care not to disrupt the adjustment of the
clutch start of travel switch.
Note:
The transparent pipe must remain at the same
height as the master cylinder reservoir to prevent
air from entering inside the clutch circuit.
WARNING
The master cylinder pipe must be disconnected
from its take-off point on the br ake fluid reservoir,
to avoid any foreign matter penetrating inside the
hydraulic brake circuit.
WARNING
Prepare for the fl ow of fluid and protect the sur-
rounding components.
Note:
Prefill the hydraulic circuit pipe equipped with a
filter.
Position the filter head facing downwards to
ensure that it fills.

nuity of the hydraulic circuit during the bleed opera-
tion.

proved brake fluid to the end of the transparent pipe.
