CLUTCH CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
This is a short, simple outline of the Twin Disk Clutch adjustment and lubrication procedures. When per-
forming maintenance beyond this brief outline, refer to the Twin Disk Clutch Care and Operations Manual.
In order to properly identify parts when ordering replacement parts, always refer to the unit and specification
number stamped on the name plate on the top center of the power take-off housing.
NOTE: If your Straw Blower is equipped with a NACD Clutch, refer to the
"NACD Power Take-Off Service Manual For 6-1/2", 7-1/2", 8", 10"
and 11-1/2" HE Clutches."
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 if the operating lever jumps out of engagement, the clutch must be
adjusted. To adjust the clutch, remove the name plate located on the top center of the power take-off hous-
ing. Turn the clutch shaft assembly until the adjusting pin can be reached. Disengage the adjusting lock
pin and turn the adjusting yoke or ring to the right or clockwise until the lever requires a distinct pressure to
engage (approximately 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. Overtightening can cause component
failure.
