Section 12

Clutch

Service

On this type, an oil “splash” type lubrication system is

used. The proper oil level must be maintained to

provide efficient lubrication. The oil should be changed

after each 100 hours of operation. When refilling, use

0.47 L (1 pt.) of motor oil of proper viscosity. See chart

below.

2. After adjustment is made, engage clutch and

check to make sure rollers go over center to lock

the unit in engaged position and prevent releasing

under load. If trouble persists after readjustment,

clutch reconditioning is indicated.

Reconditioning

Drain the oil, remove the nameplate, and use the

following procedure.

1. Remove capscrews (2) from clutch yoke and

remove spacers.

2. Remove cross shaft.

3. Remove housing bolts (4) and slide housing off.

4. Loosen bolts securing clutch assembly to

crankshaft, then remove locking screw.

5. Pull clutch assembly off.

6. To replace clutch, simply turn adjusting collar off

and remove plate.

Reverse procedure for reassembly. Adjust and

lubricate following previous instructions.

Adjustment

Slight readjustment may be needed after a few hours

on a new clutch to accommodate normal run-in wear.

Firm pressure should be required to engage clutch

(40-45 pounds pull at lever handle). Readjust if clutch

slips and overheats, or if clutch handle jumps out after

engagement. Use the following procedure:

1. Release clutch and remove nameplate. Using a

large screwdriver, turn adjusting ring clockwise,

one notch at a time, until firm pressure is required

to engage clutch. See Figure 12-2. Adjusting ring

is spring loaded and does not have to be

loosened before adjustment is made. Do not

attempt to pry or force spring lock away from the

ring.
