SPECIAL ADJUSTMENTS
The clutch is located on the infeed bed pivot shaft inside the frame. The purpose of this clutch is to pro
-
vide the proper amount of friction for the infeed bed handle so that it can be adjusted and will stay where
you leave it. As the friction discs wear after long periods of service, a lessening of the friction may be
noticed. When this occurs, a slight adjustment of the clutch is necessary.
1. Back off all tension screws at least three turns.
2. Loosen the adjusting nut set screw at least six turns.
3. Reset the adjusting nut. Turn clockwise for more torque or counterclockwise for less. One valley at a
time.
4. Tighten the adjusting nut set screw in nearest spline notch. Do not tighten set screw on threads of
hub.
5. Tighten the tension screws alternately and evenly until the heads bottom. Do not use washers under
heads of these screws.
6. Check the friction on the infeed bed handle to see if it is too tight or to loose. If necessary, re-adjust
until the proper tension is provided.
