Hand Lever Position
Air Engagement Mechanisms
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION (Ref: SAE J1033 and J617)
Refer to Identifying the SAE Housing Size in the Description and Specification section on this manual.
Most NACD products mount directly onto the flywheel of the engine. Flywheel-to driven
component interference is possible due to mismatch of components or other reasons. Therefore,
engine crankshaft endplay as well as flywheel alignment check must be made before the driven
Component, the Power Take-Off, is installed.
After installation of the Power Take –Off, crankshaft end play should be measured again. End
play at the second measurement should be the same as the first. A difference in these two end
play measurements could be an indication of interference. Consequence, the Power Take-Off
should be removed and the source of Interference found and corrected.
NACD will not be responsible for system damage caused by engine to NACD match-up
regardless of the cause of interference. This engine crankshaft end play check is considered
mandatory.
Note: All measurements must be taken with the engine or motor mounted on its supports after
the flywheel and housing have been thoroughly cleaned.
Proper hand lever position is required to obtain long service life of the throwout bearing.
See Hand Lever Position for NACD Power Take-Offs in this installation section.
Air engagement mechanisms must be installed and adjusted properly for proper clutch
actuation and long service life of the PTO. No preload on the throwout bearing can
exist either in the fully-engaged or full released positions, and the air mechanism must
be engineered and installed to provide proper engagement force and stroke to properly
engage and disengage the clutch. See Setting Up Air Engagement on NACD Power
Take-Offs in this installation section.
