Electric Clutch Adjustment
Clutch adjustment is required if the clutch slips. This
is
characterized
by
reduced speed of the driven
attachment while engine speed remains constant.
Perform the following procedure
to
adjust the
electric clutch:
1. Stop engine and remove the ignition
key.
Remove the dash cover shield.
2. Insert a .012 inch feeler gauge through cutout
(Drawing 1 Ref. 2)
in
clutch brake plate
(Drawing 1 Ref.
3)
and into air gap (Drawing 1
Ref.
5)
between armature (Drawing 1 Ref.
4)
and rotor (Drawing 1
Ref.
6).
If ,012 gauge is a
loose fit
in
air gap the clutch must
be
adjusted.
Perform the feeler gauge check at
all
three ·
cutouts.
3. If necessary, tighten all three brake spring nuts
(Drawing 1 Ref.
1)
to
reduce air gap. Tighten
nuts so air gap
is
equal at all three cutouts:
4. After preliminary adjustment, check air gap at
each cutout and repeat step 3 if necessary.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until .012 inch feeler
gauge is a snug fit at all three check points.
Replace shield.
6. Before placing unit in service, mount an
attachment, start the engine and cycle the
clutch
on
and off 40
to
50
times
to
seat the
clutch and brake.
(NOTE: This step should be performed each ·
time
a unit is returned
to
service after being
out
of
service for more than 3 weeks.)
