7. Clutch lever cleaning
If the lock lever and clutch lever do not operate smoothly, or the clutch engages
by squeezing the clutch lever without pushing the lock lever, disassemble and
clean the clutch lever.
NOTE:
Be aware of the spring and collar coming off when you disassemble the clutch
lever. The spring and collar are located in between the right side of the clutch
lever and the handle bracket.
1. Pull off the snap pin from the lever fulcrum pin.
2. By holding the clutch lever, spring and collar, pull out the lever fulcrum pin.
Detach the clutch lever, spring and collar.
3. Remove any dirt or foreign objects.
Wipe off and clean the fulcrum of the clutch lever and lock lever arm.
NOTE:
Do not apply any oil or cleaner liquid to the clutch lever, lock lever and lock lever
arm.
Oil or cleaner liquid will attract dirt and foreign objects.
