FIGURE 6
If the torque output of the
clutch is altered, it may be
necessary to adjust the
actuating mechanism. This
is accomplished by first
disengaging the clutch,
then removing access plug
#5 and inserting an allen
wrench into the actuating
adjusting screw #29. (Refer
to Table 5 for wrench
sizes). Rotate adjusting
screw #29 until the spring
pressure applied by the
actuating spring #28
against the actuating stud
nut #39 is sufficient to
release the actuating
plate #31. The
adjustment should then
be tested by resetting the
clutch and then
disengaging it. If the
adjustment is correct, the
actuating plate will
release at the exact time
of clutch disengagement.
Replace plug #5.
