Date September 23, 1992

ISSUE:

The air conditioner clutch may "slip" during high ambient temperature conditions. This is normally caused by improper air gap adjustment between the clutch plate and hub assembly.

ACTION:

The air gap specifications between the clutch plate, hub assembly and the clutch pulley has been revised. When service is required the air gap must be set between 0.35 and 0.85mm instead of the current specification of 0.46 and 0.85 mm.

NOTE: When adjustment is required, use the spacers included in the spacer kit listed in the Parts Block. Optimum adjustment is toward the lower limit of the specification range in the interest of durability.
