The handle should NEVER be installed in a horizontal
position when the operating shaft is positioned
horizontally. Improper handle position can cause
throwout collar failure resulting in catastrophic
failure of the clutch.

Figure 17. Use of a stop collar with
a vertical operating shaft.
Special Position: Operating Shaft Vertical
If the installation requires that the operating shaft be in a vertical position, a stop collar must
be installed to prevent the weight of the hand lever, operating shaft and throwout yoke from
creating a preload on the throwout collar. Position the hand lever as described above and also
position and lock a stop collar on the operating shaft so that the throwout yoke is centered on
the throwout collar. Contact NACD's Sales and/or Service Department for information on use
of a stop collar.
