-
If the pressure plate is new, screw down the center screw four turns. One section of the handle has four slots. Note the position of this section of the
handle and screw in four turns but no more!
-
It the pressure plate is being reinstalled, screw down the center screw two turns! If the pressure plate is not flat against the flywheel, screw in the
center screw another half turn and check. Turn the center screw a half turn at a time until the pressure plate is flat against the flywheel.

Note:
The diaphragm spring should not be under pressure for too long, max. 24 hours! Relieve pressure on the diaphragm spring as soon as possible.
