ENGINE CLUTCH
See Figure 7-5 for the following procedure.
A disc-type manually-operated clutch is mounted between
the engine and the pump drive. The clutch allows the pump
drive to disconnect from the engine, reducing engine load
and making start-up easier in cold weather. The clutch can
be engaged or disengaged while the engine is running or off.
Monthly Maintenance
Perform the following maintenance monthly:
1. Grease the clutch monthly. See Section 9.
2. At least once each month, disengage and engage the
clutch several times with the engine running to clean
disc surfaces and prevent discs from seizing.
3. To check free-travel, pull on the handle when the clutch
is engaged until meeting resistance. This is the free-
travel.
Readjust the clutch when free-travel decreases to less
than 35 mm (1-3/8 in).
Adjustment
Adjust the clutch internally through the cover plate on top of
the clutch housing. See the clutch manufacturer’s manual for
adjustment instructions.
CAUTION
Parts Damage
Do not run the engine longer than 20 minutes with the
clutch disengaged. The clutch release bearing can be
damaged.
DANGER
Moving Machinery Hazard
Parts inside the clutch rotate when the engine is running.
Stop the engine before adjusting the clutch.
