TESTING AND ADJUSTING
The clutch brake should be capable of
stopping a rotating universal joint in about
2.5 seconds when the clutch pedal is de
pressed all the way with the engine running
L~t
maximum speed.
1. Adjust the length under test force of spring 1
to 4 cm (1.6 in.).
2. Loosen lock nuts 2 and 3.
3. Screw adjusting bolt 4 until brake band 5
comes in full-face contact with drum 6.
4. Back off adjusting bolt 4 2.5 to 3 rotations.
I. Remove the cover, and gradu'ally turn
fill
valve 1 counterclockwise to allow grease to
escape from vent hole 2.
2. If grease does not appear at the vent hole
loosen the fill valve until it touches the stop
per.
3. If grease does not appear at the vent hole and
the vent hole appears to be open and the track
appears to have tension, start the engine, and
move the machine back and forth slightly.
4. If the track still appears to have tension even
after such a backward and forward move
ment of the machine, insert awood block into
between the sprocket and track, and move
the machine backward slightly. This will
strain the track to force grease out of the vent
hole.
Never look into the vent hole to see if the
pressure in the track adjuster cylinder
is released. Make sure of relief of the
pressure by observing the backward
[~~ment of front idler.
