SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
A. CHECK PTO CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT. PASS THIS ALONG TO ALL SERVICE PERSONNEL!
REFER TO THE CLUTCH MANUAL.
HINT: Improper adjustment of PTO clutch may shorten clutch life. Make sure adjustments are made properly.

surfaces have “worn in”. The clutch friction facing will become glazed, and possibly permanently
damaged if the clutch is permitted to slip.
