NOTE: Place spring plate so it contacts the pressure plate on the inside and has a gap at the outside.
3. Install the perimeter bolts and tighten the nuts
uniformly to increase the spring load evenly.
4. Tighten the nuts evenly all the way around until
the 18mm Clutch Gauge fits snugly over the
spring and pressure plate as shown.
5. Use small adjustments to make sure the 18mm
Clutch Gauge fits snugly all around the clutch.
Do not over-tighten so the gauge is loose. Back
off the nuts if necessary. A snug fit will ensure
the proper torque is applied to the spring plate.
6. Reinsert the tapered pin into the hub.
The clutch will now have approximately 60% to 70%
of its torque value. This torque value will increase to
its intended value as the clutch slips during
operation. Care should be taken to avoid prolonged
slipping during the run-in period.
The FT clutch utilizes Belleville spring to provide a
constant torque setting during the life of the friction
lining. The 18mm clutch gauge ensures the
accuracy of the spring tension setting.
