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

Disassembly
IMPORTANT: Not all Type A clutch components are arranged as illustrated in Figure
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
Refer to Figure 5-5 & Table Below:
Progressively tighten each spring retainer bolt until correct spring height “A” is reached.
