5.12 Clutch Handle Detent Adjustment
WARNING!
Before performing service near moving parts
such as blades, pulleys, motors, belts and chains, first turn
the key switch to the OFF (#0) position and remove the key.
If the key is turned on and moving parts activated, serious
injury may result.
See Figure 5-12.
The detent pin on the clutch handle is provided so the handle can be
locked in a position between where the drive belt and the blade brake are not engaged. If
the pin does not align with the hole when the drive belt and the brake are not engaged,
adjust the detent turnbuckle on the clutch handle.
NOTE:
The detent pin was removed on LT30 Super Rev. F8.04 and LT40 Super Rev.
F9.04. The detent pin should be removed from previous revision mills to prevent possible
injury caused by unintended use of the detent pin (such as using the pin to enable the
blade to be spun by hand during blade tracking). See bulletin #970053LR for pin removal
instructions.
