MAINTENANCE
Clutch System
n
Drive Belt Deflection
Measure belt deflection with
both clutches at rest and in
their full neutral position.
Place a straight edge (1) on the
belt and apply downward pres-
sure while measuring at point
2. This measurement should be
1 1/4
I
(3.2 cm).
Drive Belt Adjustment
Standard Clutch
Belt deflection can be adjusted without removing the clutch from the
jackshaft.
1.
Pull the belt into the driven clutch to slightly open the sheaves.
2.
Loosen the three bolts on the adjustment cam and turn the cam
counterclockwise to reduce the distance between the sheaves.
Do
not rotate past the #1 position.
3.
Torque the bolts to 4-6 ft. lbs. (5.4-8 Nm)
TEAM Clutch
1.
Loosen the 7/16
I
jam nut on the belt width adjuster.
2.
Using a 1/8
I
Allen wrench, adjust the threaded set screw as needed.
NOTE:
Turn the set screw in (clockwise) to increase the distance
between the sheaves and out (counterclockwise) to decrease
the distance.
3.
Tighten the jam nut.
