5.5. The mechanism of a pedal of coupling

THE GENERAL DATA

Coupling pedal

1 – a latch, 2 – a spring, 3 – an axis and a clamp of a latch, 4 – the plug, 5 – a pedal of coupling, 6 – a spring of a tension of gear sector, 7 – gear sector

Ф иксатор the automatic mechanism it can be blocked on gear sector of a pedal of coupling, especially, in the presence of considerable deterioration. In this case, there will be no cable free wheeling that will lead to proslipping of coupling and considerably will accelerate deterioration of overlays.

For mechanism check it is necessary to open a cowl and sharply to extend a cover of a cable from a partition that will lead to a tension of a cable and поворачиванию a gear segment. At normal work of the mechanism слыщны clicks from a latch moving on a gear segment, and at release covers of a cable the mechanism occupies a starting position. In case of latch jamming to extend a cover of a cable from a partition it is impossible.

If there was a jamming, to remove a coupling cable is problematic.
The first variant of removal of a cable: to make effort the switching off lever for a cable detachment.

With the second – to cut a cable, however it is necessary to remember that the switching off lever will come back at once back.

Вытягивание a cable from a forward partition sometimes leads to jamming elimination, however it is desirable to replace the mechanism with the new in this case.
