430 Slip Clutch Maintenance & Settings
Check the condition of the friction discs before use and following periods of storage.
Release the tension from the springs and turn the clutch body while holding the inner
P.T.O hub stationary, if unable to turn freely strip down clutch and free off seized
parts ensuring to remove all traces of rust. Rebuild and adjust the spring
compression to the original setting.
Following seasonal use, unload the spring tension and store clutch assembly in a dry
place. Check condition of friction linings and reset spring compression to original
height before use.
Should the assembly overheat due to frequent or prolonged clutch slipping, dismantle
for inspection. The original thickness of the lining is 3.0 mm, replace them when worn
to 2.0 mm. Clean up all contact surfaces and replace any damaged components
before assembly.
