MAINTENANCE
Everyone of these slip clutches are pre-set and run-in by the Schulte supplier, so they should not be adjusted
by the dealer or end user.
After an extended period (4 to 6 months) of not being used, the clutches should be taken apart to ensure all
parts are movable and all surfaces are free of rust.
To service the clutch and/or change the linings, follow these steps:
Disassembly
1. Remove the tapered pin.
2. Loosen the perimeter bolts on the clutch evenly
and progressively to uniformly reduce the load
on the spring.
3. Separate the parts and inspect for signs of
corrosion, cracks and rust.
4. Clean the parts using brake cleaner and a wire
brush.
5. Inspect the thickness of the friction linings and
replace them if they are less than 2.5 mm in
thickness (new friction linings are 3.2 mm
thick).
