mAINTENANCE (old style clutch)

Clutch

This clutch system provides a high pulley ratio (a low gear- so to speak) to start out and a low pulley ratio ( a high gear- so to speak) for a high speed operation, with infinite variation between the two.

This means that it will not be necessary to give full throttle in order to "break the blades/pans loose".The machine can slowly be brought up to speed.

The torque sensitive pulley (Figure 27) utilizes a spring and cam bracket. Peak performance results from proper interaction between the driven pulley spring and the ramp angle of the cam bracket.

NOTICE

If replacement of the clutch is required, use clutch replacement kit, P/N 23447, to upgrade to Multi-Clutch system. New style drive assembly must be installed per instruction sheet, P/N 23448, included with clutch replacement kit.

Old style Comet clutch is no longer available. Multi-Clutch components are not interchangeable with the prior Hoffco Comet drive system. The Hoffco Comet CVT system must be replaced for combatibility with the new equipment.
