Questions and answers
Does the slip clutch on mp48 need adjustment?
The slip clutch on the Baumalight MP348 may need adjustment if it is slipping. Signs of this include the rotor rotating slowly or sluggishly. To address this, check if the slip clutch is hot, as a hot clutch does not grip properly. If slippage occurs, reduce strain by using a lower-powered tractor, traveling slower, or adjusting the flow control knob to a lower setting.
