MAZ 5337 - all about the truck crane: technical characteristics, fuel consumption, lifting capacity

General information about MAZ-5337

The base of models with a 4x2 wheel arrangement is 3.95 meters. The load capacity of an onboard vehicle based on chassis 5337 is 8.7 tons with a total curb weight of 7.15 tons.

The distribution of the full tractor load of 16 tons is expressed by the ratio 0.37:0.63, i.e.:

• front axle – 6 t,
• rear axle – 10 t.

The permissible weight of the trailer (data for the main type used - MAZ 8926-02), when the machine is operating as part of a road train, is 12 tons, thus, the total weight of the hitch reaches 28 tons.

The versatility of the series makes it possible to tow other types of platforms. But you should take into account:

• indicated maximum towable weight;
• design of the coupling device;
• the possibility of using the trailer brake system as part of a road train;
• voltage value and the presence of appropriate connectors for connecting electrical appliances.

The metal truck platform mounted on the chassis has sides that open on three sides. At the same time, the side ones consist of two parts, which makes loading and unloading operations at a height of 1.4 meters convenient.

The platform flooring is made of durable, rot-resistant wood.

The general demand for truck cranes is related to their mobility, ability and ease of maneuver, ease of installation and operation, etc. The famous “Ivanovtsy” can serve as an example.

A wide range of models with different load capacities, types and lengths of cargo booms are installed specifically on the MAZ-5337 biaxial chassis. An important component is their cost: it compares favorably in combination with the high quality of the equipment.

Today, a good new truck crane can be bought from 3 to 6-7 million rubles, depending on its technical characteristics.

A feature of all crane superstructures on the MAZ-5337 is the complete development and absence of “raw” components and elements in the design.

High-quality hydraulic systems ensure perfectly smooth and precise movement of objects weighing up to 32 tons.

A modern cargo boom, driven by a chassis power plant, is, as a rule, a retractable telescopic structure of 3-4 sections with a hydraulic cylinder and reinforcing pulleys.

This ensures compact installation when moving and a significant (up to 22.5 m) lifting height of the load on the work site.

Truck cranes based on MAZ-5337 have a number of advantages:

• the installations are reliable, safe and easy to operate, their crane operations can be combined;
• ease of control and a wide choice of operating speeds are complemented by the presence of a computer unit that controls the main parameters (loading, height, boom reach and length, working area);
• versatility in repair and the ability to use fuel of various qualities.

MAZ-5337 work

Car MAZ-5334

Development based on the MAZ-5335 chassis - MAZ-5334 truck. A more modern truck from the late 70s of the last century. Description of appearance, changes compared to the previous version. Features of the three most popular modifications, their technical characteristics and areas of purpose. The entire MAZ model range.

Car history

In 1977, in step with global progress, production of the new MAZ-5334 truck began. The model was developed on the basis of the MAZ-5335. As always, the need for freight transportation increased in the rapidly growing republics of the Soviet Union. Along with this, the requirements for transporters also grew. In addition, due to the industrialization of cities, more modern vehicles were required to service them.

In order to solve this issue, this heavyweight was developed. A special feature of this MAZ is the ability to install various modular superstructures, structures and bodies for various purposes. Also, the technical characteristics have become more superior than those of previous versions of cars. Along with the carrying capacity, traction power has also increased, and there has also been a progression in maneuverability and speed characteristics.

Specifications

The basic chassis has the following main technical characteristics:

Cargo characteristics:

• weight when fully equipped - 7.025 tons;
• total weight - 15.225 tons;
• permissible weight on the front axle – 7 tons;
• permissible weight on the rear axle – 9 t;
• maximum load capacity – 8.2 tons.
• permissible trailer weight with cargo – 13 tons.

Cabin and steering

For experienced drivers who worked on Belarusian cars, the 500 series of the MAZ family was remembered as not having the most comfortable working conditions.

The cabin was noisy, cold, and the glazing was problematic, especially the front glass.

In general, long-distance flights became a real pain. The workplace in the 5337 series is characterized by modern comfort. Thermal and sound insulation of the standard interior has been improved, and an effective heating and ventilation system has been used.

The two- and three-seat cabins located above the engine are equipped with a hydraulic cylinder with a hand pump to tilt them forward when access to the engine is necessary. The driver's seat has a sprung base.

Its design allows you to adjust the distance to the controls, seat height, and the angle of the seat cushion and backrest.

Most models do not have a berth in the cabin. But in some modifications (MAZ-533701 HL) there are up to two sleeping places.

Cars with this marking can be used in the Far North, where temperatures often drop to -60 degrees Celsius.

Important! The dashboard and all interior trim elements meet safety requirements in their modern sense, that is, they have special linings that serve to absorb impact energy.

Rear view mirrors, a system of internal cabin lighting devices, a power steering column, etc. were made taking into account the same requirements.

Convenience and ease of control of a heavy machine is ensured by a complex that includes a rack and pinion mechanism and a hydraulic booster, consisting of a distributor in the steering wheel and a booster cylinder.

The cabin glazing uses a panoramic windshield, curved and solid, providing an excellent view of the road. High-quality seals on windows and doors prevent moisture, dust, etc. from entering the cabin.

When the machine moves, special air intake flaps create air flows along its side surfaces, preventing them from becoming dirty. The all-metal body is welded from steel elements with a protective coating.

Priming and dip painting, in combination with other processing methods and timely maintenance, provide long-term protection of the cabin from corrosion processes.

Advantages and disadvantages

The most significant disadvantage has already been noted above - poor sealing of the interior. For the driver, a long trip meant cold and a buzzing head from constant noise. Even despite modern heating systems, this car is far from achieving a sufficient level of comfort. The rest of the systems make you forget everything bad and rejoice at the conscientious execution of Soviet manufacturers.

The robust cabin has a relief that minimizes the shock wave, corrosion protection and all kinds of sensors. And excellent maneuverability and great power when moving, transporting or carrying loads only add a positive impression. The versatility of the MAZ-5337 was able to glorify it throughout the Soviet Union, and even remain popular many years after the end of production.

Features of truck cranes based on MAZ-5337

These truck cranes are in great demand. Their popularity is explained by their high levels of maneuverability and the overall relative mobility of the devices, which is often impossible to do without not only on the construction site, but also in production.

Truck cranes are easily attached to the structure of the main device. Management is carried out according to a simplified scheme.

Truck crane based on MAZ 5337

A wide variety of truck cranes can be installed on the MAZ-5337 chassis. They differ in the characteristics of lifting capacity, the length and type of boom required to perform the loading function.

Specialists can choose from a wide range of models, and the cost of almost all possible options is not inflated, which sets this truck model apart from the rest, especially new options. Truck cranes are also offered by other manufacturers, for example Kraz-250.

At the moment, it is possible to purchase a new MAZ-5337 truck crane at a price from 3,000,000 to 7,000,000 rubles, depending on its parameters and capabilities. All units used for the MAZ-5337 are distinguished by the absence of the need to modify components and prepare individual elements (as well as the Ivanovets truck crane).

the capacity of which is 9 cubic meters. It is necessary for transporting fuel to ground equipment. Began to be used since 1988. Technologically, it is designed for the MAZ-5337 base chassis.

The use of the MAZ-5337 KS-3571 truck crane is also common. It has a high lifting capacity of up to 14 and is also capable of lifting a load up to 14.5 m in height, which is necessary when carrying out specific large-scale work.

Garbage trucks MKM-35

Garbage trucks MAZ-5337 MKM-35 are large units with a universal design. Inside the container for dumping waste there is a press chamber, which allows the unit to be used even now thanks to the availability of modern technologies.

The MAZ 5337 truck crane began to be produced by the Minsk Automobile Plant in the early eighties of the twentieth century. The scope of application of this truck crane is wide. It is used for many jobs related to unloading and moving small loads, for example, building materials and metal structures.

Each Ivanovets truck crane model has its own unique characteristics. It depends on them whether this type of equipment is suitable for performing certain jobs.

The technical characteristics of the MAZ 5337 truck crane were able to fully satisfy consumer demand, and its production began. One of the models was produced under the name Ivanovets KS 35715.

MAZ 5337 truck cranes are distinguished, first of all, by their compactness, high maneuverability, simplicity and ease of operation. They are convenient for working in urban environments that are inaccessible to more powerful equipment. Here they can move freely. Smooth running and high load capacity make this model in demand.

The driver's cabin is equipped with a comfortable seat with the ability to:

• changes in its height;
• moving closer or further from the control panel;
• seat and backrest tilt adjustments.

Operator's cabin of the MAZ 5337 truck crane

The seat has a spring base. The cabin has heating and ventilation, improved sound and heat insulation. The instrument panel and interior trim elements are protected from impact energy by special absorbent pads.

These units are safe and reliable in operation. They make it possible to perform several operations simultaneously. Weather conditions are not a hindrance for them; MAZ 5337 truck cranes can be operated at temperatures from -40 to 40 degrees Celsius.

They are undemanding to road surfaces and can travel on any roads - gravel, dirt, off-road.

The connection of the crane to the vehicle chassis is quite simple, and it is unpretentious in maintenance.

Using the MAZ 5337 crane, you can perform many jobs to move cargo:

• building materials, slabs;
• metal structures during installation work;
• production equipment.

You can load a change house or container up to 12 meters, weighing up to 8 tons.

MAZ-5337 truck crane at work

Diesel engine YaMZ-236M2

• operating power 132 kW;
• maximum torque - 667 Nm;
• six-cylinder engine;
• gearbox - manual, five speeds.

The presence of a hydraulic drive and power steering ensures easy control of the crane on the MAZ chassis.

The front axle is steerable.

The MAZ chassis engine drives a hydraulic pump, which, in turn, moves the boom, and the hydraulic cylinder moves its section.

The boom can be extended using an additional lattice extension called a jib. This sectional telescopic design provides the crane with not only the ability to cover a large space and height when moving loads, but also compactness and ease of movement.

The Ivanovets MAZ 5337 crane is equipped with instruments and devices that ensure the safety of its operation. These include a microprocessor-based load limiter, which allows the operator to monitor all operating characteristics on the display in the cab.

These devices determine:

• current permissible load weight;
• the reach of the arrow, the height of its tip;
• crane loading;
• weight of the load suspended on the hook;
• crane operating area. If work is carried out in a confined space, the system can maintain the specified limitation parameters and record them throughout the entire service life of the crane.

When choosing a crane to perform any specific work, you need to focus on its technical capabilities, the conditions in which it will have to work, the possibility and timing of delivery of the machine to the work site.

For work in cramped conditions, the reliable, compact and maneuverable Ivanovets KS 35715-2 truck crane has proven itself well.

The crane can lift a load of up to 17 tons.

A telescopic boom of two sections, having a length of 8–14 m, is supplemented, if necessary, with a jib, increasing it by another 7 meters. The boom radius ranges from 1.9 to 13 m.

Technical characteristics of the crane Ivanovets KS 35715

The load can be lifted to the following height:

• 5 meters - without jib;
• 6 meters - using a jib.

Turning is carried out at a speed of 2.5 rpm.

The load lifting speed is 9 m/min, and with light weight it can reach up to 18 m/min.

Moving at speeds of up to 60 km/h, the crane will quickly arrive at the job site.

Dimensions: 10x2.5x3.85 meters.

Dimensions of the Ivanovets KS-35715 truck crane based on MAZ 5337

The truck crane is used with maximum productivity thanks to the ability to adjust the reach and lift of the boom.

The maximum lifting capacity of the boom depends on its reach and is in the range of 0.45–17 tons with a reach of 16–2 meters and a lifting height of 22–2 meters.

MAZ 5337 truck cranes are distinguished by relatively inexpensive prices. However, having selected the necessary MAZ crane model to solve your problems, it is not necessary to purchase this equipment. A more profitable option would be to rent a MAZ truck crane. It will help save money needed to maintain the crane, train personnel to work on it, and eliminate unnecessary hassle.

Modifications

One of the most popular modifications in the MAZ-5337 series. Referred to as "Ivanovets". The mechanisms on board were of the same type as in the base model. The only difference was the modernized YaMZ-236M2 engine. Boom control is hydraulic. To ensure safety, the crane is equipped with a number of sensors:

• Load limiter;
• Crane load level;
• Boom length and reach;
• Boom head height;
• Weight load on the cable;
• Maximum load capacity in this position.

You can also set restrictions on boom rotations in case of limited space.
Technical characteristics of the truck crane

In addition to the main base car, there are the following modular modifications:

• Fuel tankers;
• Construction versions;
• Timber trucks;
• Fire trucks;
• Utility modifications.

Engine and transmission

The design of the engine installed on the MAZ in question is a turbocharged V-shaped diesel engine YaMZ-236 HE2 (meets EURO II standard) with six cylinders located at an angle of 90°, with a total volume of 11.15 liters.

The developed power at 2,100 rpm is 180 “horses” (or 132 kW). The torque reaches a maximum of approximately 68 kgf/m in the range of 1,250-1,450 rpm.

The six-section injection pump includes a low-pressure pump for pumping fuel, a multi-mode speed controller and an injection advance device (clutch). The type of working nozzles used is closed.

The dry type air filter has an indication of the contamination limit, and it is possible to change the filter element.

The kit includes an electric flare device (EFD). As a separate option, the manufacturer offers a special heater for starting the engine (PZD-30).

A single unit with a diesel engine is a transmission, including a dry clutch with two discs and a pneumatic booster, as well as a five-speed YaMZ-236P gearbox.

Its design includes synchronizers for forward gears, starting from II to V; their gear ratios from I to V and reverse gear (3X) are respectively:

• I - 5.2,
• II - 2.9,
• III - 1.53,
• IV - 1.00,
• V (accelerating) - 0.66,
• ZH - 5.48.

A pair of shafts connected in series form a cardan transmission, which has an intermediate support.

The main two-stage transmission of a spaced type consists of a central gearbox with bevel gears and planetary gears along the sides in the wheel hubs. The total gear ratio is 7.14 (7.7), and by components:

• gear – 2.08 (2.27),
• onboard – 3,428.

Thanks to the used power plant, the car can be accelerated to 85 km/h in just 50 seconds.

In economical “cruising” mode, the average diesel fuel consumption reaches about 21.5 liters for every hundred kilometers traveled.

Combined cycle driving will require up to 35 liters per 100 km. The road train easily overcomes slopes up to 25% steep and fits into a general turning radius of up to 9.8 meters.

MAZ-5337 series and its technical characteristics

The 5337 series uses multi-level braking systems driven by pneumatics.

The efficiency of their operation is ensured when moving at a speed of 60 km/h, slowing down and completely stopping a multi-ton road train - over a distance of only 36.7 m.

All equipment of combined systems has two independent circuits, separate for the front and rear pairs of wheels.

Traffic and parking safety is ensured by:

• drum-type service brakes with a width of 160 mm, a diameter of 420 mm and cam release devices. The brake chambers at the rear have additional spring accumulators;
• parking brake (activated by pneumatics in the rear wheel chambers on spring energy accumulators);
• spare brakes (combined with parking brakes). It is recommended to use when all others fail;
• Special flaps in the exhaust gas exhaust system, activated by pneumatics, provide the function of auxiliary brakes, slowing down the engine speed.

When working as part of a road train, combined options for activating trailer brakes (one- and two-wire) are provided.

There is protection against blocking in case of freezing of accumulated condensate.

The first samples of MAZ-5337 rolled off the assembly line in the second half of the already distant 80s of the last century.

The trucks and chassis of this car model have become an example of the successful implementation of the conceptual idea of ​​unifying structural elements.

MAZ-5337 has a multi-level brake system that operates under the influence of a pneumatic system. They function effectively at any driving pace, for example, if the car is moving at a speed of 60 km/h, the vehicle will come to a complete stop after pressing the corresponding pedal after 36.7 m.

All systems are created on the principle of combination; they have 2 circuits that function independently of each other, ensuring the correct movement of the rear and front pairs of wheels.

Brake system

The guarantee of vehicle safety during idle driving is guaranteed by:

1. Drum brakes. Their width is 16 cm, the diameter as a whole is equal to the parameter 42 cm. The design uses cam-type expansion devices. The brake chambers are equipped with spring-type accumulators, which are located on the rear of the structure.
2. Parking brake. Its connection is carried out using a pneumatic system in the area of ​​the rear wheels, since spring-type batteries are used for this.
3. Spare brakes. They have a combined design with a parking lot. They are usually used when other systems fail.
4. Auxiliary brakes are a rotary retarder with a pneumatic drive. They are presented in the form of dampers, which are located inside the structure of containers with equipment for removing exhaust gases from spent fuel. With their help, if necessary, the motor activity is partially slowed down.
5. The rear brake chambers are equipped with spring energy accumulators.
6. The trailer brake drive is combined (two- and single-wire). There is an alcohol fuse against condensate freezing.

It is possible to connect a system for automatically applying several brake systems. Typically, drivers use this function when driving a car as part of an entire road train, using it to design a trailer.

The system includes protection against blockages, with which there is no risk of system failure in the presence of frozen condensate.

Car history

The eighties of the twentieth century, along with the end of stagnation in the USSR, brought new models of already proven MAZ trucks. And by the end of the 80s, along with the MAZ-5551, the MAZ-5337 was already rolling off the assembly line in full swing. The main goal was to update the top-end MAZ-5335. The new model had the main difference from all its predecessors - the ability to install modules for various purposes. This saved the manufacturer from the need to develop separate modifications, which simplified and speeded up production.

Considering that trucks often have to travel on roads that are not the smoothest, the features of the transmission and tires were aimed at simplifying this process. Thanks to this, the vehicle has become more durable during long-distance flights and work in non-standard conditions. At the moment, the model is no longer produced, but continues to work in many enterprises and private construction projects, making an invaluable contribution to production. Until now, the MAZ-5337 is considered one of the best cars from the existing concepts of Soviet developers.

Suspension, wheels and tires

The series uses an improved front and rear suspension system:

• The front suspension springs, combined with two telescopic shock absorbers, have a semi-elliptical shape, their rear ends slide smoothly;
• two main and two additional springs of the rear suspension are semi-elliptical in shape. The rear ends of the main springs and both ends of the additional springs are sliding.

The wheels with 8.5V-20 rims used in the MAZ-5337 truck have a discless design. Each is fastened with clamps on 6 bolts. Radial tires can be installed: 11.00R20 (300R508), I-68A, I-111A or I-111AM.

Crane Applications

Using the MAZ 5337 crane, you can perform many jobs to move cargo:

• building materials, slabs;
• metal structures during installation work;
• production equipment.

You can load a change house or container up to 12 meters, weighing up to 8 tons.

Power and consumables

The on-board voltage of 24 V is provided by the G-273V generator, the operation of which is monitored by the built-in voltage regulator Y120M.

Starting the engine is ensured by the ST103-A-0 starter, powered by two 6ST-190A (6ST-182EM) batteries.

The standard fuel tank, holding 200 liters of diesel fuel, provides an autonomous range of 450 to 900 km, depending on the load and configuration.

The total amount of oil in the engine is 25 liters of all-season M-6/10B (or M-10B in summer and M-8B in winter). Antifreeze A-40 is recommended for use in the cooling system; its total quantity is 29 liters.

Description and scope of application of MAZ-5337

The base of vehicles with a 4x2 wheel arrangement is 3.95 m. The load capacity of the system is 8.7 tons (this is slightly higher than that of the MAZ-53366), while the curb weight corresponds to the parameter 7.15 tons. The front axle of the unit can withstand a load of 6 tons The axle located on the reverse side can move a large mass of 10 tons.

Towing platforms

If necessary, platforms are towed. When implementing it, the following parameters should be taken into account:

1. Maximum weight of additional load (materials or goods transported).
2. Features of the construction of the device, which ensures reliable grip.
3. The use of a trailer braking system when using a vehicle in a road train.
4. Voltage and number of connectors, their sufficiency to include a full range of electrical appliances.

The truck platform is constructed of metal. It is mounted on the chassis. If necessary, you can open 3 of its sides in different directions. The side segments fold into two different parts, allowing loading and unloading of goods to be carried out comfortably, despite the height of 1.4 m.

The floor can be laid from fairly durable types of wood that are resistant to putrefactive processes.

Cabin dimensions

Many drivers working on Belarusian-made MAZ 500 series vehicles (see here) note that they remember these units as not very comfortable, so working on them is quite difficult. The cabin is not equipped with sufficient soundproofing materials.

Wheels and tires

Wheels - discless, rim 8.5V-20, fastening - 6 bolts with clamps. Tires – 11.00R20 (300R508) mod, I-111A, I-111AM or I-68A. Front wheel tire pressure – 7.5; rear – 6.7 kgf/cm. sq. Number of wheels 6 1.

Also, the glazing was of insufficient quality; in particular, many note the unsatisfactory parameters of the first glass.

The models in this series did not stand out for their functionality and were not convenient, especially when traveling long distances. Series 5337, on the contrary, is characterized by comfort and high-quality adjustment of all necessary parameters.

The interior filling has been modernized, thanks to which new heat and sound insulation has been applied. The cabin is equipped with a heating system developed using new technologies, and there is also full ventilation.

Cabin MAZ 5337

Cabins with 2 and 3 free seats are equipped with a hydraulic cylinder, which is operated using a hand pump. If you need to gain access to the motor, you need to fold out this element. The base of the driver's seat is of a sprung type.

This design reduces the distance from functional devices to control elements of the structure. The driver has the opportunity to configure the cabin as it suits him. It is possible to adjust the seat level, the amount of backrest tilt and the main part of the structure.

Usually the cabin is not equipped with a sleeping place (unlike the ZIL-5301), however, there are modifications that provide the possibility of rest for two people at once, for example, MAZ-533701 HL. This marking of vehicles indicates that these vehicles can be used even when working in the Far North.

Driving a truck is allowed even at an ambient temperature of -60 degrees.

The instrument panel is equipped with maximum compliance with all basic design safety regulations. A variety of pads are used to absorb impact energy.

Many people who are concerned about the aesthetics of the vehicle have a question: where is the frame number on the MAZ-5337{q} They can be seen on the back of the vehicle, as they are located near the right wheel.

Higher quality requirements are also applied and implemented in the production of rear-view mirrors, lighting installation technologies for various elements of the internal control system, and the hydraulic booster located on the steering column structure.

Power steering

This unit is quite heavy, but it is quite easy to operate thanks to the presence in the system of a developed hydraulic booster, a booster cylinder and a rack and pinion mechanism designed according to all the rules.

In the process of glazing the cabin structure, a windshield of both curved and flat shapes was used, which made it possible to obtain excellent visibility of the surrounding space for the convenience of the driver. Functional seals are placed on the structure of windows and doors.

With their help, they ensure reliable blocking of dust, dirt, and water from entering the structure in the event of strong air humidity or rain.

On the outer surface of the cabin there are universal air intake flaps. They exhibit high functionality when moving a vehicle. With their help, air flows are formed that pass along the walls of the machine, preventing them from becoming too dirty.

The body of the structure is made entirely of metal and has a high-quality protective coating.

The developers approached the issue of protecting the structure from corrosion very carefully and responsibly. A high-quality priming process was carried out, and dip painting was also carried out. All these aspects help ensure that rust will not appear for a long time even in difficult operating conditions.

Steering

The steering mechanism is a screw and a ball nut-rack that engages with the gear sector. Send number – 23.55. The power steering consists of a distributor built into the steering mechanism and a separate power cylinder. Oil pressure in the hydraulic booster is 95-110 kgf/cm. sq.

Transmission

Suspension

Front - on two semi-elliptic springs with rear sliding ends, two shock absorbers; the rear one is on two main and two additional semi-elliptic springs, the ends of the additional springs and the rear ends of the main ones are sliding.

For comparison, you can familiarize yourself with the technical characteristics of the MAZ 5516.

Suspension and chassis parameters

The MAZ 5337 is equipped with an improved suspension system. Semi-elliptical springs are attached to the front suspension, to which hydraulic telescopic shock absorbers are connected. The rear axle is also equipped with two semi-elliptic springs and springs with sliding ends.

The wheel design is discless, with steel hubs. The size of the tires installed on it is 11.00R20. The characteristics of the braking system describe it as multi-level, which is driven by a pneumatic drive, facilitating the driver’s actions. Pneumatics provide separate braking of the front and rear wheels. The brake system, as follows from the characteristics, consists of:

Front spring MAZ-5337

• service brakes with a drum mechanism and cam release devices;
• a pneumatic parking brake, which is activated in the rear wheel chambers;
• spare brakes for extreme situations;
• auxiliary brakes that slow down engine speed;
• a combined system that includes trailer brakes when moving as part of a road train.

Clutch adjustment

There are several adjustment parameters in the MAZ-5337 that relate to the correction of the clutch position:

• Assigning parameters for the withdrawal of a medium-sized disk to create the necessary gaps.
• Assigning parameters for the adjusting nut and the end of the valve cover in order to ensure optimal clearance between them.
• Assignment of parameters to control the freewheel function of the medal responsible for the clutch.

Features of adjusting the drive disk located in the middle of the structure:

1. Unscrew the clutch and flywheel housing covers.
2. Place the gear lever in the free position.
3. Return the 4 adjustment screws to their standard position. To do this, you need to unscrew the locknuts and turn the flywheel.
4. Continue turning the flywheel while unscrewing the adjustment knob.

The free play of the clutch pedal must be adjusted in the following sequence:

1. Disconnect the double-arm lever.
2. Move the cylinder piston to its extreme position, and move the lower edge of the double-arm lever again until it stops.
   It is necessary to achieve a position in which the lever and the holes of the rod fork do not converge by approximately 50%. If the deviation does not correspond to these parameters, it is necessary to adjust the difference by rotating the rod.
3. Combine the lever and yoke of the cylinder rod, as well as with the valve stem, maintaining the lowest position. To adjust the distance between the two forks, you need to rotate them until the desired parameters are achieved.
