Clutch Run-In (with hex head bolts)

Refer to Figure 4-4:

1.Using a pencil or other marker, scribe a line across the exposed edges of the clutch plates and friction disks.

2.Carefully loosen each of the 8 spring retainer nuts by exactly 2 revolutions. It will be necessary to hold the hex end of the retainer bolt in order to count the exact number of revolutions.

3.Cycle clutch on and off 2 times (2 to 3 seconds on and 15 seconds off) with the engine operating at half throttle.

4.Inspect the clutch and ensure that the scribed markings made on the friction disks and plate have changed position. Slippage has not occurred if any two marks on the friction disks and plate are still aligned. A clutch that has not slipped must be disassembled into separate parts. See Clutch Assembly (with hex head bolts) on page 18 to disassemble this clutch.

5.Tighten each of the 8 spring retainer nuts on the clutch housing exactly 2 revolutions to restore the clutch to the original setting pressure. See Step 7 and Figure 4-6 on page 18 for correct compressed spring length.
