4.2.1 Coupling the cam-type cut-out clutch*
Depending on the version, a drive shaft with automatic safety
clutch (cam-type cut-out clutch) is installed.
• Clean and grease the profile of the machine sided
connecting shaft prior to assembling.
• Loosen and turn out clamping cone [1].
• Open maintenance hole in the guard cone on the machine
side. Slide the clutch onto the connecting shaft so that the
location hole [2] points towards the maintenance hole.
• Position the location hole for the clamping cone above the
ring groove [3] of the connecting shaft.
• Turn clamping cone into location hole and tighten firmly
(approx. 70 Nm) while moving the hub slightly to and fro in
longitudinal direction.
• Check tight and firm seat of clutch hub by compression and
tensioning movements. During work, check clutch for correct
tightening at regular intervals.
4.2.2 Uncoupling of the cam-type cut-out clutch*
Loosen and remove clamping cone from clutch hub. If this
cannot be done by hand, drive out clamping cone from the
opposite side by means of a pin punch.
