Clutch engagement To Clear A Jammed Driven Device
Never engage the PTO to unjam a stuck load. Doing so could result in injury to the operator,
and damage to the equipment.
Always shut the engine off and disengage the clutch before clearing a jammed load. The jam
should be cleared, and the output shaft must be rotated to be certain that the jam is completely
removed before starting the engine and engaging the PTO.
Operator Should Be Aware Of The Required Clutch engagement force
The clutch engagement force must be at the proper level to realize long life of the PTO clutch. If
this engagement force seems low, refer to the Clutch Adjustment Procedure in the Maintenance
section of this manual.
Insufficient clutch engagement force can cause clutch slippage resulting in catastrophic clutch failure.
The engagement lever must be located in the proper position to prevent premature failures
of the internal throwout collar components. The engagement lever should be in the vertical
position with the clutch engaged.
Improper handle position can cause throwout collar failure resulting in catastrophic failure of
the clutch.
