B. LUBRICATION.
1. Lubricant: Use any high grade, Lithium Base #2, short fiber grease having an operating tempera-
ture of 200˚ F (93˚ C), recommended for roller bearings may be used.
IMPORTANT: Do not mix Sodium or Calcium base grease with Lithium grease.
2. Anti-Friction Bearings: Shaft bearings should be lubricated after each 50 hours of operation
through fittings (41) with a short fiber, high grade, high temperature, Lithium Base #2 lubricant
having an operating temperature of 200˚ F (93˚ C). Use the same lubricant to occasionally
lubricate the two fittings at the cross shaft (26).
3. Clutch Lever and Linkage: Levers and linkage should be lubricated with engine oil after every 500
hours of operation.
IMPORTANT:
Lubricate sparingly to avoid oil on clutch facings.
C. REMOVAL OF CLUTCH/PUMP FROM ENGINE.
1. Remove the pump section completely as described under Cleaning and Seal Installation sections on
page 27.
2. Engage the clutch handle, atop the operator ’s platform, to hold clutch facings in place when
removing the clutch from the engine. Unbolt the rod which connects the clutch operating lever to
the operator’s platform clutch handle.
3. Attach a suitable lifting device to the clutch/pump frame housing (10). Remove the hex head cap
screws that secure the clutch housing to the engine flywheel housing and the two bolts holding the
housing to the HydroSeeder
®
frame.
IMPORTANT: Caution should be exercised when removing the clutch/pump
housing from the engine so that the facings and pilot bearing are
not damaged.
4. Support the housing assembly on blocks with the output end of the shaft down.
5. Remove the hand hole nameplate (10A) from the housing for improved access to internal parts.
D. CLUTCH FACING PLATES (ITEM 30) REPLACEMENT:
A common indication that the
facings’ friction surface is worn out is that the adjusting ring cannot be turned any tighter. To replace
the facing plates remove the clutch/pump from the engine as described above and proceed as follows:
1. Disengage the clutch operating lever and remove the old facing plates (30).
2. Insert the new facing plates (three segments) in between the clutch body (34) and the pressure plate
(29), and center the facings as close as possible.
3. Lock the clutch facings between the pressure plates as follows:
A. Remove the drive ring (31) from the engine flywheel so that it can be used to center the facings.
B. With the clutch assembly resting on a workbench, turn the clutch adjusting ring COUNTER-
CLOCKWISE until the pressure plate (29) almost contacts the clutch facing (30).
C. Place clutch driving ring over clutch facings with teeth in driving ring in mesh with teeth of
clutch facings, and locate the driving ring centrally relative to the pressure plate and clutch
body.
NOTE: If driving ring is not properly located relative to the pressure plate
and clutch body, the clutch cannot be assembled to the flywheel as
the teeth of clutch facings will not enter the teeth of driving ring
even though the clutch drive shaft enters the pilot bearing.
