This explains how to check and adjust clutch free play.

Hope that helps.

Your looking at the wrong end of the pedal Danny, there is no adjustment for where the clutch starts to grab. The only adjustment is in the clearance at the top of the pedal which should be 3/4 to 1 inch before you feel the throw out bearing contact the pressure plate fingers.
And as Waldo points out, if all else fails, read the manual.
