3. Remove nuts (#1), bolts (#2), and bridge blocks (#3).
4. Remove spring retainer nuts (#4), springs (#5), and
bolts (#10).
5. Separate all friction disks (#7), flanged yoke (#6),
clutch support (#8), and pressure plate (#9).
Clutch Inspection
Inspect all parts for excessive wear and condition. Clean
all parts that do not require replacement.The original
friction disk thickness is 1/8" (3.2mm) and should be
replaced if thickness falls below 3/64" (1.1 mm). If
clutches have been slipped to the point of “smoking”, the
friction disks may be damaged and should be replaced.
Heat build-up may also affect the yoke joints.
Clutch Assembly
1.
Make sure bushing (#11) is still seated in flanged
yoke (#6).
2. Reassemble each friction disk (#7) next to the metal
plate it was separated from as shown.
3. Insert all 8 bolts (#10) through pressure plate (#9)
and flanged yoke (#6).
4. Insert springs (#5) over bolts (#10) and secure with
spring retainer nuts (#4). Tighten each nut to the
measured distance “A” recorded in step 2 under
5. Do not install bridge blocks (#3) until installation of
clutch to divider gearbox. At that time, secure slip
clutch to the output shaft with bridge blocks (#3),
bolts (#2), and nuts (#1). Tighten nuts (#1) to the
correct torque.
6. Pull/push on the slip clutch end of driveline to make
sure it is secured to the output shaft.
7.
Push/pull on opposite end of driveline to make sure it
is secured to the input shaft on the blade spindle
gearbox.

Tire Maintenance
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Tire changing can be dangerous and should be performed
by trained personnel using correct tools and equipment.
When removing and installing wheels, use wheel handling
equipment adequate for the weight involved.
•
Always release all air pressure in air-filled airplane tires
before removing hardware bolting the split rims together.
Not doing so can cause the split rims to blow apart instantly
and could result in serious injury or death.
•
Tire changing can be dangerous and should be performed
by trained personnel using correct tools and equipment.
When removing and installing wheels, use wheel handling
equipment adequate for the weight involved.
•
Do not weld on or heat a rim. High heat can weaken and/or
warp the rim and damage the tire. Air pressure inside the
tire can increase enough to cause an explosion.
1.
Check tires for low air pressure, missing nuts,
missing lug bolts, wear, separated rubber, and bent,
broken, or cracked wheel rims.
2. Inflate air-filled tires to the proper pressure. Refer to
3. Replace wheel rims and tires as needed with
genuine Land Pride parts. Do not loosen split rim
hardware (#1) until all air pressure in the tire has
been removed.
