6. MAINTENANCE
The six nuts on the flange are tightened. Hereby the springs are compressed so that
they do not press on the clutch plates and the clutch can rotate freely. Have the
clutch rotate for half a minute to remove dirt and possible rust on the plates.
The nuts are loosened again until they are at level with the threads of the bolts, and
the springs can press on the clutch plates.
Maintenance of the friction clutch on the auger:

Fig. 6-5 1) Disassemble the clutch and clean all parts of possible rust.
2) Check the clutch discs A for wear and replace if required.
3) Assemble and mount the clutch again. Tighten the bolts B with normal torque as
the flange C ensures the correct compression of the springs D and thus the
correct torque setting.
WARNING: If the clutch is overloaded by slipping for some time, it will get
heated and thus be worn quickly.
Overheating will damage the friction plates. If the clutch is
blocked or partly put out of function in other ways, the factory
guarantee will be discontinued.
