You could probably use the same method for setting the initial freeplay as you would if you had a hydraulic T/O bearing. There are lots of YouTube videos on the subject. Keep in mind, too little freeplay could wear out clutch components prematurely but too much freeplay won’t allow enough clutch disengagement, which could wear out synchros prematurely.
