mAINTENANCE (old style clutch)
Clutch
This clutch system provides a high pulley ratio (a low gear- so to speak) to start out and a low pulley ratio ( a high gear- so to speak) for a high speed operation, with infinite variation between the two.
This means that it will not be necessary to give full throttle in order to "break the blades/pans loose".The machine can slowly be brought up to speed.
The torque sensitive pulley (Figure 27) utilizes a spring and cam bracket. Peak performance results from proper interaction between the driven pulley spring and the ramp angle of the cam bracket.
