CLUTCH CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
This is a short simple outline of the Twin Disk clutch adjustment and lubrication. When preforming mainte-
nance beyond this brief outline refer to the Twin Disk Care and Operations manual. In order to properly
identify parts when ordering replacement parts, always refer to unit and specification number stamped on
the name plate located on the top center of the power take-off housing.
LUBRICATION:
The Twin Disk clutch is equipped with life-time-lubrication internal bearings and should not be lubricated.
The operating shaft bearing located where the drive shaft exits the clutch housing should however be lubri-
cated every 1-3 months depending on usage. The clutch engage lever shaft should be lubricated weekly.
ADJUSTMENT:
If the clutch does not pull, heats, or operating lever jumps out of engagement, the clutch must be adjusted.
To adjust the clutch remove the name plate in plate located on the top center of the power take-off housing.
Turn the clutch shaft assembly until the adjusting lock pin can be reached. Disengage the adjusting lock pin
and turn the adjusting yoke or ring to the right or clockwise until the clutch lever requires a distinct pres-
sure to engage (approx. 26 lbs of pull). A new clutch generally requires several adjustments until the friction
surfaces are worn in. After the clutch is "worn in" the adjustment should be checked regularly.
NOTE: Do not adjust clutch too tight. Over tightening can cause component
failure.
