MAINTENANCE
Clutch System
Drive Belt Deflection
Measure belt deflection with both
clutches at rest and in their full
neutral position.
Place a straight edge (1) on the
belt and apply downward pressure
while measuring at point 2. This
measurement should be 1 1/4 inch
(3.2 cm).
Drive Belt Adjustment
1. Install the L-wrench into the open threaded hole in the outer sheave
of the clutch (see page 83). Turn the wrench clockwise slightly to
remove pressure from the sheaves.
2. Loosen the 7/16-inch jam nut.
3. Using a 1/8-inch Allen wrench, turn the set screw inward (clock-
wise) to increase the distance between the sheaves or outward
(counter-clockwise) to decrease the distance.
4. Tighten the jam nut. Store the L-wrench in the tool kit.
Torque Stop
Periodically check torque stop
clearance. With clutches in
proper alignment, the torque
stop clearance should be .010-
.030 inch (.25-.75 mm) from
the engine case.
Adjust if necessary, and lock
the jam nut.
