FRICTION CLUTCH

Fig. 6-3 In order to ensure a long life for your tractor and machine, the machine is delivered
with a friction clutch on the PTO drive shaft from the bevel gearbox to the machine
and on the driving mechanism for the feed rollers. The figure illustrates how the
clutch protects the transmission against high torque peaks and at the same time is
capable of transmitting the torque while it is in function (slips).
The auger is also fitted with a friction clutch as described in the section PICK-UP in
chapter 4 "ADJUSTMENTS".
The friction clutches must be maintained at regular intervals. At the same time, the
clutches must be checked if they have not been in operation for some time. This
especially applies after winter storage before the machine is used for the first time in
