ASSEMBLY
INSTALLING THE ELECTROMAGNETIC
CLUTCH
NOTE:
If the position of the electromagnetic clutch is
not well adjusted, it can have important
repercussions on the life span of the snowblower
components and on its efficiency.
Here is a chart identifying the mounting components
of the electromagnetic clutch according to the
engines tested.
Install the clutch on the engine shaft as shown in
figure above
, making sure to respect the torque
specified in the chart above.
NOTE:
Hold the clutch support with a lock-grip plier
which will keep the engine shaft from turning and to
obtain the appropriate torque.
Mounting components of the electromagnetic clutch
NOTE:
Once the clutch has been installed, it is
important to check the alignment of the two pulleys
(Clutch pulley
(item 1)
and snowblower pulley
(item
2)
. The clutch 106143 has two grooves to position the
belt. You must use the one closest to the engine. The
two
following figures
illustrate two types of wrong
pulley alignments. A wrong pulley alignment can be
resolved by loosening the bolts securing the engine
and moving the engine. If this is the case, it is very
important to retighten all the bolts.

***NOTE:
You may need to add a spacer between
the clutch and the existing spacer or even changing
this spacer. This is related to the tolerances of diffe-
rent components. Most importantly, is that the pulleys
are aligned.
Take note, for the All Power motor, the clutch spacer
(item 3) 106616 must be applied on the motor. Put-
ting any other spacer instead, may cause failure.
