    NOTE: The value, which is read in the gauge at this time, is zero point.
  10. Scale and record the weight Z of a flat board which will be put on plates.
    NOTE:
    • Use a stiff flat board which does not bend against load.
    • Use a flat board of its weight less than 83 N (8.5 kgf, 18.7 lb).
  11. Put the flat board on retaining plate.

  12. Using the following formula, calculate N indicated on the push/pull gauge.

    N = 83 N (8.5 kgf, 18.7 lb) - Z

    N: Value indicated on push/pull gauge

    83 N (8.5 kgf, 18.7 lb): Load applied to clutch plate

    Z: Flat board weight

  13. Press the center of retaining plate applying force of N with push/pull gauge, and then measure and record the height "A". Make more than three measurements at even distance and take the average value.
    NOTE: If three points, measure the height every 120°. If four points, measure the height every 90°.
