8) Raise service access panel, and install two retaining screws and lock-nuts at front edge of
panel.
9) Reconnect positive battery cable at vehicle battery compartment.
3. TORQUE LIMITING CLUTCH
The torque limiting clutch prevents stalling of deployment motor when traveling frame reaches either
end of its movement. It also disengages deployment motor if traveling frame contacts a foreign object.
The torque limiting clutch makes a loud clicking sound when it slips.
a. TORQUE LIMITING CLUTCH REMOVAL
1) Refer to LIFT SERVICE ACCESS section to deploy platform and open service access
panel.
2) Refer to IN/OUT MOTOR AND GEARBOX section and remove gearmotor assembly.
3) Refer to DRIVE CHAIN REMOVAL section and remove both drive chains.
4) Refer to
Figure 4-17. Remove screws fastening intermediate shaft bracket to carriage.
5) Slide intermediate shaft bracket toward driveshaft, and drop front end of bracket down in-
side carriage.
6) Remove intermediate shaft bracket (with intermediate shaft assembly) from carriage by slid-
ing it forward and twisting (to clear carriage).
7) Place intermediate shaft bracket on a workbench, flat side down.
8) Remove roll pin that fastens clutch assembly to intermediate shaft.
9) Twist and slide clutch assembly off intermediate shaft.
b. TORQUE LIMITING CLUTCH INSTALLATION
NOTE:
Perform torque limiting clutch removal described in previous section if a clutch is present.
1) Refer to
Figure 4-17. Slide clutch assembly onto intermediate shaft (mounted to intermedi-
ate shaft support), being sure that bushings are installed in support and washer is in place
on shaft. Twisting clutch assembly relative to driveshaft will ease installation. Align roll-pin
hole in clutch hub with hole on shaft.
2) Drive new roll pin into clutch and intermediate shaft.
3) Place intermediate shaft brackets, with intermediate shaft assembly, into carriage by insert-
ing assembly up into carriage. This will require twisting bracket assembly (relative to car-
riage) and inserting rear of bracket over rear of carriage first. Then place front of bracket
over front of carriage, and slide assembly forward. Refer to
Figure 4-17 and verify that
bracket orientation matches illustration.
4) Install screws and lock washers fastening intermediate shaft bracket to carriage.
5) Refer to In/Out Motor and Gearbox Installation section to re-install gearmotor assembly.
6) Refer to Drive Chain Installation and Adjustment sections and install and adjust both drive
chains.
7) Refer to Setting Torque Limiting Clutch section and adjust clutch breakaway point.
c. TORQUE LIMITING CLUTCH CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT
The clutch is set at the factory. Re-adjustment is typically required after 500 lift cycles. To provide
smooth platform movement:
The clutch must not disengage before platform reaches the end of its stow or deploy
travel.
The clutch must disengage when platform reaches the end of its travel.
CHECK:
1) Refer to LIFT SERVICE ACCESS section to deploy platform and open service access
panel.
2) Refer to FINAL DRIVE CHAIN REMOVAL section and remove final drive chain.
3) Measure clutch breakaway torque with a torque wrench that will retain a maximum reading
(Snap-On "Torqometer" part number TE25FFUA, or equivalent).
4) Refer to
Figure 4-17. Engage final drive chain sprocket (mounted on intermediate shaft)
with torque wrench.
