Electric Clutch Adjustment
Service Interval: Every 100 hours
The clutch is adjustable to ensure proper engagement
and proper braking.
1. Stop engine, wait for all moving parts to stop,
and remove key. Engage parking brake. Allow
the machine to cool completely before starting
these instructions.
2. Insert a 0.015–0.021 inch (0.381–0.533 mm)
feeler gauge through one inspection slot in the
side of the assembly. Make sure it is between the
armature and the rotor friction surfaces.
3. The gap should be at least 0.015 (0.381 mm) and
not more than 0.021 (0.533 mm). If adjustment is
needed, then set at 0.015 (0.381 mm) for each of
the three adjustment slot positions.
4. Tighten the lock nuts until there is slight binding
on the feeler gauge but it can be moved easily
within the air gap (see Figure 30).
