CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT

or begins to make abnormal noise, check the
air gap adjustment at the three inspection
slots.
To check:
1. Stop engine, remove key and wait for all
hot parts to cool.
2. Measure the air gap between the
armature and the rotor.
• Minimum: A .016" feeler gauge should
slide between armature and rotor with
slight contact.
• Maximum: A .020" feeler gauge
should slide between armature and
rotor with slight contact.
3. Repeat for each inspection slot.
To adjust:
1. If necessary, loosen gap adjustment
nuts until a .016" feeler gauge fits
between armature and rotor.
2. Slide a .020" feeler gauge between
armature and rotor.
3. Tighten gap adjustment nut until there is
slight contact on feeler gauge.
4. Repeat steps 1 – 3 at each inspection
slot.
NOTE: Adjust air gap as evenly as possible.
5. Start unit, engage and disengage PTO.
6. Shut off unit.

breakage or damage.
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws properly

Fuel System
Diesel fuel left in the fuel system for extended
periods without a stabilizer will deteriorate,
resulting in sludge and sediment deposits
forming in the system. These deposits can
damage the fuel injectors and the fuel hoses,
filter and tank. Prevent deposits from forming
in the fuel system during storage by adding a
quality diesel fuel stabilizer to the fuel. Follow
the recommended mix ratio found on the
diesel fuel stabilizer container.
