5) Rotate intermediate shaft until clutch slips. Maximum torque occurs at point where clutch
first begins to slip . Breakaway must occur between 24–28 ft-lbs.
ADJUST:
1) Refer to Figure 4-19 . Do the following, if clutch adjustment is necessary:
2) Loosen 15/16" jam nut.
3) Rotate nut clockwise to increase torque, or counter-clockwise to decrease torque. Adjust in
small increments and check breakaway torque each time.
4) Hold adjusting nut and tighten jam nut to 40–50 ft-lbs.
5) Refer to Drive Chain Installation and Adjustment sections and install both drive chains.
4. INTERMEDIATE SHAFT AND FINAL DRIVESHAFT
The intermediate shaft transfers power from primary drive chain to final drive chain. The final drive-
shaft transfers power from final drive chain to pinion gears. The pinion gears mesh with gear track (at-
tached to inside of enclosure).
