mAINTENANCE (old style clutch)

NOTICE

This section is intended to aid users in the maintenance of drive assemblies with an old style Comet clutch.

A 3/4 X 1 X 3-1/4 inch wooden block may assist in helping to hold the lower pulley apart during removal and replacement of belt).

Checking The Drive Belt

The drive belt needs to be changed as soon as it begins to show signs of wear. DO NOT reuse a belt under any circumstances. Indications of excessive belt wear are fraying, squealing when in use, belts that emit smoke or a burning rubber smell when in use.

Under normal operating conditions, a drive belt may last approximately 150 hours. If your trowel is not reaching this kind of life span for drive belt wear, check the drive belt for proper pulley alignment and spacing .

To gain access to the drive belt, remove left-side end-grate and open left "Clamshell", then visually inspect the drive belt for signs of damage or excessive wear. If the drive belt is worn or damaged, replace the drive belt

WARNING

DO NOT attempt to insert hands or tools into the belt area while the engine is running and the safety guard has been removed. Keep fingers, hands, hair and clothing away from all moving parts to prevent bodily injury.

WARNING

Allow the entire trowel to cool down before performing this procedure.

Removing the Drive Belt

Leave the existing drive belt intact until instructed to cut it.

Leave the engine in place for this procedure. It is not necessary to slide the engine to replace the drive belt.

Locate the Clutch Removal Tool provided with the trowel, p/n 23294 located within the documentation box (Figure 16)
