Cam type cut-out clutch
The PTO shaft is factory fitted with a cam type cut-
out clutch. Check that cut-out clutch disengages
during the first period of use.
The cam type cut-out clutch is based on the
principle of disengaging cams that release when an
overload occurs. When the cut-out clutch releases,
it cuts-out torque transmission to the machine.
When the cam type cut-out clutch releases:
- Disengage tractor PTO.
- Reduce PTO speed.
- Lift the machine off the ground.
- Engage the tractor PTO.
Before carrying out any maintenance on the machine, disengage the power take-off, switch off
the tractor engine, remove ignition key and wait until all moving parts have come to a complete
stop and apply park brake
When a foreign body is caught in the machine:
- Obey safety instructions.
- Remove foreign body.
- Check that no working parts have been damaged.
- Insert ignition key, start the engine, release parking brake and engage the power take-off.
The cam type cut-out clutch re-engages automatically.
Do not re-engage cut-out clutch by simply reducing the PTO speed (rotational frequency). This
could cause premature wear of the cut-out clutch due to friction between the cams and their
housings.
