CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT
(BELT SWITCH)
•
ENGINE SPEED MUST BE AT IDLE
TO ENGAGE OR DISENGAGE THE
CLUTCH OR DAMAGE WILL
OCCUR.
When engaging or
disengaging the clutch, hold the belt
switch long enough for the actuator to
fully move the assembly in or out.
Operating the machine without the
clutch fully engaged or disengaged will
cause slipping and is not warranted by J.
P. Carlton or the clutch manufacturer.
•
Disengage the clutch by pushing and
holding the belt switch down long
enough for the actuator to fully move the
clutch arm and disengage the clutch.
The clutch is disengaged when the clutch
arm has been pushed forward and the bar
rests on the stop.
•
Engage the clutch by pushing and
holding the belt switch up long enough
for the actuator to fully move the clutch
arm and engage the clutch. The clutch is
engaged when the pressure on the clutch
arm has released fully. There will be a
small distance between the actuator
assembly bar and the stop. The clutch
arm should have about 1/8” of play
when the clutch is engaged.
