c. After the drive pawl enters the rotor notch,
turn the wrench counterclock wise until
the reset screw has stopped at its original
position, which is approximately flush with
the O.D. of the clutch housing.
This is
essential to restore the torque to its
original setting.
d. Reducing the clutch torque setting may
make the reset procedure easier if the
clutch is near the maximum torque.
C. Torque Adjustment
The clutch is supplied with a torque selector dial.
This dial makes torque adjustments on the clutch
possible. There are mill marks on the housing near
the hole stamped 9 on the outside diameter of
the housing. The mill marks have stamped values
indicating a set, or minimum and maximum torque.
(See Figure 4A) If a drastic change in torque is
desired, it may be necessary to change springs.
See Section VI for spring replacement.
1. Increasing the Torque
a. Make sure the clutch is engaged.
b. Turn the torque adjustment screw
clockwise until it is flush with the milled
depth of the desired torque setting or
until nuisance trips are eliminated.
c. Check its operation.
B. Resetting Instructions
1. Automatic Reset (Models FJ, FG, FR) - To
re-engage the clutch after an overload has
been cleared, jog the drive until the clutch
re-engages. At this point the rotor keyway
will line up with the index line on housing and
the limit switch plate will retract to its original
position.
2. Manual Reset (Models GJ, GG, GR)
Note:
Be sure not to use a powered wrench as it
may cause damage to the reset pawl and/or
reset spring!
a. After the overload condition has been
corrected, rotate the drive until the rotor
keyway is in alignment with the hole
stamped 22 located on the outside
diameter of the housing (See Figure 4).
b. Reset the clutch by inserting a hex wrench
into the reset screw (Stamped 20) shown in
Figure 4, and turn the screw clockwise until
the reset pawl releases the drive pawl. Refer
to Table 5 for the proper wrench size.
