Clutch Disassembly

Refer to Figure 5-4 on page 26:

Disassembly of the clutch is simply a matter of removing 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.

Clutch Inspection

Inspect all parts for excessive wear and condition. Clean all parts that do not require replacement.The original friction disc thickness is 1/8" (3.2 mm) and should be replaced if thickness falls below 3/64" (1.1 mm). If clutches have been slipped to the point of “smoking”, the friction discs may be damaged and should be replaced. Heat build-up may also affect yoke joints.

Clutch Assembly

Refer to Figure 5-4:

Reassemble each friction disc (#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).

Cutter Storage

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

!DANGER

1.Clean cutter of all debris.

2.Check blades for wear and replace if necessary, see “Cutter Blade Maintenance” on page 24.

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

4.Lubricate as noted under “Lubrication” on page 27.

5.Store cutter inside when possible to prolong its life.
