1. Install the bushing (3) in the flange yoke (2).
2. Reassemble the clutch as shown in the
diagram (Figure Mnt-R-0292). Be careful not to
contaminate any of the internal parts of the
clutch with grease or oil from hands or tools
during reassembly.
3. Install the perimeter bolts and tighten the nuts
uniformly to increase the spring load evenly.
4. Tighten the nuts evenly all way around until the
spring plate makes contact with the indicator
ring. Do not compress the indicator ring.
5. Back off the nuts slightly to allow the indicator
ring to move. This will ensure that there is not
pressure on the indicator ring, and the proper
torque is applied to the spring plate.
6. Reinsert the tapered pin into the hub.
The clutch will now have approximately 60% to 70%
of its torque value. This torque value will increase to
its intended value as the clutch slips during
operation. Care should be taken to avoid prolonged
slipping during the run-in period.
The FT clutch utilizes Belleville spring to provide a
constant torque setting during the life of the friction
lining. The spacer/ indicator ring ensures the
accuracy of the spring tension setting.
