adjusting if necessary
Inspections I, II, III
Front sensor
•
Check sensor spacing with feeler gauge.
Sensor spacing.............................0.50 ... 0.55 mm
................................................ (0.0197...0.0217 in)
•
To adjust, release sensor (1) and set spacing
with spacer plates (shims) (2).
