6.Tighten each of the 8 spring retainer nuts on the clutch housing exactly 2 revolutions to restore clutch to original setting pressure.

7.Allow clutch to cool to ambient temperature before operating again. Clutch is now ready for use.

8.The clutch should be checked during the first hour of cutting and periodically each week. An additional set of scribe marks can be added to check for slippage. See Figure 5-5 to adjust spring length.

Clutch Disassembly, Inspection & Assembly

Refer to Figure 5-4:

If clutch run-in procedure above indicated that one or more friction disks did not slip, then the clutch must be disassembled to separate the friction disks.

Disassembly

IMPORTANT: Not all Type A clutch components are arranged as illustrated in Figure 5-4. Also some have more components than others. Be sure to keep track of order and orientation of your clutch components during disassembly.

Disassembly of clutch is simply a matter of first removing spring retainer nuts (#1), springs (#2) and bolts (#3) from the assembly. Each friction disk (#4) must then be separated from the metal surface adjacent to it.

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" (3.2mm) and should be replaced if thickness falls below 3/64" (1.1mm). If 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.

Refer to Figure 5-5 & Table Below:

Progressively tighten each spring retainer bolt until correct spring height “A” is reached.

Assembly

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