Using The Clutch Shim; Removing The Clutch Shim - Toro Z Master G3 3000 Series Service Manual

Using the Clutch Shim

Some later model year units have been built with
clutches that contain a brake shim. When the clutch
brake has worn to the point where the clutch no longer
engages consistently, the shim can be removed to
extend the clutch life (Fig. 477).

and remove the key. Engage the parking brake.
Allow the machine to cool completely before starting
these instructions.
2. Using an air compressor, blow out any debris from
under the brake pole and around the brake spacers
(Fig. 478).
