TROUBLESHOOTING
\
SLIP CLUTCH OPERATIONAL CHECK
After tiller has been stored for an extended period
of time, the slip clutch should be checked to be
sure it functions properly. Loosen the eight nuts
retaining the slip clutch springs exactly one full
turn. With tiller firmly on the ground and tractor at
idle speed, engage tractor PTO drive for 1 - 2
seconds. Clutch should slip without turning Fig. 8
blades. If clutch does not slip, contact your Honda
Compact Tractor Dealer. Retighten nuts to within
1/64" of original position. Initial spring length
is 1 1/16" (
27mm).
Failure to tighten spring nuts to
position may cause damage to tiller
and/or tractor due to improper slip clutch
torque setting.
