WARNING
Before beginning any service work, turn the PTO
off, set the parking brake, turn the ignition switch
off, remove the key, disconnect the spark plug
wire, and disconnect the negative battery cable.
GENERAL
The Ogura electric PTO clutch used on the Broadmoor /
1600 / 2600 series is very sensitive to initial wear, and
therefore must be adjusted at it’s 50/250 hour service
intervals (see PTO CLUTCH ADJUSTMENTS, this sec-
tion). If the clutch fails to engage, the first step is always
to perform the adjustment procedure contained in the
operator’s manual, and reproduced in this section.
If the clutch must be tested, it should be removed from
the tractor to electrically isolate it.
New PTO clutches must be burnished (see procedure in
this section).
TROUBLESHOOTING

defective clutch:
1. Check PTO clutch air gap. Perform clutch adjust-
ment.
2. Remove the PTO clutch from the tractor and perform
electrical tests.
3. After replacing the clutch, burnish and re-check the
air gap.
