Slight readjustment may be needed after a few hours
on a new clutch to accommodate normal run-in wear.
Firm pressure should be required to engage clutch
(40-45 pounds pull at lever handle). Readjust if clutch
slips and overheats, or if clutch handle jumps out after
engagement. Use this procedure:
1. Release clutch and remove nameplate. Using a
large screwdriver, turn adjusting ring clockwise, one
notch at a time, until fi rm pressure is required to
engage clutch. Adjusting ring is spring loaded and
does not have to be loosened before adjustment is
made. Do not attempt to pry or force spring lock
away from ring.
2. After adjustment is made, engage clutch and check
to make sure rollers go over center to lock unit in
engaged position and prevent releasing under load.
If trouble persists after readjustment, clutch
reconditioning is indicated.
