Friction slip clutch
- Check the condition of the friction slip clutch:
Adjustment
- Loosen nuts to release friction discs (a).
- Let the friction discs slip for a few seconds (b).
- Tighten nuts until distance (L) is 32 mm (1.25’’).
The friction slip clutch is ready to function.
When the friction slip clutch is properly adjusted,
it only heats up slightly.
The friction slip clutch may slip when:
- The springs are not tight enough.
- The machine hits an obstacle.
- the friction slip clutch overheats.
- Etc . . .
Readjust if necessary.
Never fully tighten springs to prevent
damage on drive components.
Loosen at least by 1/2 turn.
Overheating causes premature wear on slip
clutch components.
