Clutch Disassembly

If the clutch run-in procedure, (see "Clutch Run-In" on page 17), indicated that one or more of the friction disks did not slip, the clutch must be disassembled to separate the friction discs.

Refer to Figure 4-2:

To disassemble the clutch, first remove the spring retainer nuts (#1), springs (#2) and bolts (#3) from the assembly. Each friction disc (#4) must then be separated from the metal surface adjacent to it. Inspect all parts for excessive wear and condition. Clean all parts that do not require replacement.

Clutch Assembly

Refer to Figure 4-2:

Reassemble each friction disk (#4) next to the metal plate it was separated from. Make certain teh bushing is positioned as shown. Install bolts (#3) through the end plates and intermediate plates as shown. Place springs (#2) over the bolts and secure with nuts (#1).

Refer to Figure 4-3:

Progressively tighten each spring retainer nut until correct spring length “B” is reached.

•B = 1.010” to 1.000”

Inspection

Inspect all parts for excessive wear and condition. Clean all parts that do not require replacement.The original friction disk thickness is 1/8" and should be replaced if the thickness falls below 3/32". If the clutches have been slipped to the point of “smoking”, the friction disks may be damaged and should be replaced. Heat build-up may also affect the yoke joints.

Storage

At the end of the working season or when the cutter will not be used for a long period, it is good practice to clean off any dirt or grease that may have accumulated on any of the moving parts.

1.Clean the cutter as necessary.

2.Check the blades for wear and replace if necessary, see "Service Cutting Blades" on page 17.

3.Inspect the cutter for loose, damaged or worn parts and adjust or replace as needed.

4.Lubricate as noted in "Lubrication Points" on page 19.

5.Store the cutter inside if possible for longer cutter life.

6.Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to prevent rust. Ask your dealer for Aerosol Land Pride Beige touch-up paint #821-011C.
