F. The Pedals.

Controlling the pressure of applied on the

pedal controls is dependent on how tight or loose the pedals. In
new vehicles, pressure applied is usually light and foot movement
is slow. On the other hand, some old vehicles have very tight
pedals, hence, foot pressure is greater or stronger.
1, Accelerator Pedal. In slow speed movement, the pedal
is usually slightly pressed at approximately 1000 rpm to
1200 rpm. When travelling at higher speed, the reving is
greater but should not be more than 2500 rpm (ideal).
2. The Clutch Pedal. As earlier stated, when the clutch
pedal is fuly pushed down, it disengages the clutch disc
and the pressure plate, thus enable smooth changing of
gears.
a. Generally, the pushing down of the clutch pedal should
be quick and completely pushed downward.
b. The speed of releasing of.the Glutch pedal is slow
when shifting gear from first to second gear. From
second gear to third gear, the release of the clutch is a
little bit faster than when shifting from first gear to
second gear.
C. The releasing is also slowly when adjusting the speed
from fast to slow such as from fourth to third gear to
avoid sudden engagement of the clutch disc and the
