Adjusting the PTO Clutch

Service Interval: Every 200 hours
1. Turn the engine off, set the parking brake, and remove
the ignition key.
2. Raise the engine hood and allow the engine to cool.
3. Adjust the air gap so that a 0.015 inch feeler gauge
slides in between the clutch lining and friction plate
with light pressure (Figure 66). The gap can be
decreased by turning the adjusting nut clockwise
(Figure 66). The maximum service gap is 0.030 inch.

Adjusting the Traction Pedal

stop (Figure 67) should contact the frame slightly
before the pump reaches full stroke.
2. To adjust the pedal stop, loosen the jam nuts, push
down on the traction pedal, and tighten the jam nuts
when the adjustment is attained.
