CLUTCH MAINTENANCE

1.Before first use or after storage of more than one month, the clutch should be checked.

2.Disengage clutch by turning in the four socket set screws.

3.Run the PTO at low idle to slip the clutch linings. This will help remove the dirt, corrosion, and surface gloss from the clutch plates and also ensure that the linings are loose.

4.Engage the clutch by turning out the socket set screws.

5.Normally the clutch will slip at a 20% higher torque after the “run in” than before.

6.Check the temperature of the clutch after running for 20 minutes and every 8 hours after that. If the clutch is hot to the touch or smokes, check that the outside bolts are correctly tightened as explained in slip clutch section. If clutch still slips, linings may have to be replaced.
