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 on the belt
and apply downward pressure
while measuring at point A. This
measurement should be 1 1/4"
(3.2 cm).
Drive Belt Adjustment
1.
Install the L-wrench into the open threaded hole in the outer sheave
of the clutch (see page 98). Turn the wrench clockwise
slightly
to
remove pressure from the sheaves.
2.
Loosen the 7/16" jam nut.
3.
Using a 1/8" Allen wrench, turn the set screw inward (clockwise) to
increase the distance between the sheaves or outward (counter-
clockwise) to decrease the distance.
4.
Tighten the jam nut. Store the L-wrench in the tool kit.
Torque Stop
Periodically check torque stop clear-
ance. With clutches in proper align-
ment, measure rear torque stop
clearance from the engine case. Rear
torque stop clearance should be .010"-
.030" (.25-.75mm). Adjust if neces-
sary. Secure the nut.
