Adjustments and operations
Slip clutch
The slip clutches are factory preset, requiring no adjustment in order to start the cutter
operation.
When facing overload the slip clutch will start to work. It is necessary to raise the
equipment immediately to relief from the overloading.
The abnormal occurrence of clutch slippage, after some time of use and not operating
with overloads indicates the need for adjusting it, due to the wearing in the discs (B).
It is important to maintain the adjustment of 28 mm in the springs (see detail below),
in order to compensate the wearing in the discs (B) and to maintain the good operation of
the clutch.
NOTE
NOTE
• When facing a great amount of vegetation or if the cutting resistance is
excessive, try to work a narrow strip or decrease the working speed.
• The discs (B) should be replaced as soon as they reach a thickness of 1.5
mm or earlier, if they present larger damages. To do so, loose the nuts (A)
and disassemble the clutch.
