Wear eye protection when servicing the drive clutch.
Sheaves must be marked to provide a reference point
for clutch balance and spider indexing. If the sheaves
are not marked and the spider washers are changed or
misplaced, the clutch may be out of balance and
damage to the clutch may result.
Clutch spring is under extreme tension, use caution and
wear eye protection when disassembling the clutch.
