8.6 Adjusting Breakaway Clutch Tension
(Fig. 39)
CAUTION!
Never place fingers into open breakaway clutch or you
may injured should clutch snap closed.
NOTE: Spring pressure from tensioned breakaway clutch assists in
returning outer boom section to alignment.
1. Loosen jam nut C.
2. Tighten nut D to stiffen clutch action. Clutch is properly tensioned
when breakaway boom section returns to alignment with outer boom
section after breaking away. Tighten jam nuts after adjustment.
IMPORTANT: Properly lubricate clutch assembly before adjusting
the tension.
Breakaway clutch cap screws (A) must be torqued to
55 N-m (40lb-ft) every week (40 hours) to prevent
boom damage. Lubricate every day (8 hours) to
ensure maximum performance and life.
