WALTERSCHEID CAM TYPE SAFETY CLUTCH
Each side bevel gearbox is fitted with a Walterscheid cam type safety clutch as standard.
These adjustable safety clutches are based on the principle of disengaging cams. They are activated when there
is an overload and disengage the drive of the machine. They are factory adjusted to a maximum tractor power of 206
kW (280 DIN hp) and for a PTO speed (rotational frequency) of 1000 rpm (min
-1
).
After a torque cut-out, it is important to disengage the PTO drive and lift the machine out
of work. Reengage the PTO drive when the cause for the cut-out has been eliminated and
the clutches will automatically re-engage.
If a foreign object has become jammed between the rotors, switch off the tractor engine,
remove the ignition key, and then clear the machine.
NOTE :
Avoid re-engaging the cut-out clutches by simply reducing the PTO speed (rotational frequency)
as this will cause premature wear of the clutch cams due to friction between the cams and their
housing.
