3.0 Installation Caution Follow safety guidelines utilizing lockout tagout procedures before and during all installation and maintenance procedures. Warning Ensure that proper rated lifting devices & procedures are followed when installing, working or maintaining unit. Failure to do so may result in equipment damage, personal injury and even death.
3.1.0 REQUIREMENTS FOR PROPER OPERATION AND SERVICE LIFE 3.1.1 Preparation. Upon receipt of your WPT product, inspect for and report any evidence of damage. To avoid damage or personal injury, ensure that adequate lifting devices and hand tools are available. Compare the flywheel, flywheel housing to the bell housing, drive ring respectively to ensure that you have the correct size unit.
Page 16
3.1.5 Check flywheel face runout. Mount the indicator base on the flywheel housing and position the dial indicator tip so that its movement is perpendicular to the face of the flywheel. Position the indicator tip near the drive ring mounting bolt circle diameter. Rotate the flywheel 360 degrees applying force to the crankshaft thrust bearing.
3.2.0 OUTBOARD SUPPORT (if required) 3.2.1 Refer to Table 1 for the necessity of using an outboard support. OUTBOARD SUPPORT REQUIREMENT SIDELOAD APPLICATIONS IN-LINE C106 Not Required Not Required C107 Not Required Not Required C108 Not Required Not Required C110 Not Required Not Required SP111...
3.3.0 INSTALLATION OF DRIVING RING 3.3.1 Use the drive ring provided with the PTO or remove the drive ring from the engine flywheel to use as an alignment gauge. Place the drive ring over the friction discs. Center the drive ring relative to the outer diameter of the clutch body 3.3.2 Engage the clutch by operating the hand lever.
Page 19
3.4.6 The pilotless PTO does not have critical endplay requirement, nor is there a requirement for adjustment. CAUTION: Operating handle must be mounted in the vertical position, just over center in engagement direction, to eliminate illustrations in Figure 2 excessive wear in the collar, See 3.4.7...
If a coupling is used, ensure that it has sufficient horsepower capacity and that shafts are in line within the limits specified by the coupling manufacturer. If you are unsure about the procedure to align these shafts, consult the coupling manufacturer or WPT Power. 3.5.0 CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT The WPT mechanical PTO uses an adjusting collar to adjust for clutch wear.

CAUTION: Do not use any automated clutch engagement device which continues to apply pressure to the hand lever after clutch is engaged. To prevent excessive wear to clutch sliding sleeve and other clutch parts, the hand lever should be allowed to rest in a vertical position with no external force applied to it once clutch is engaged. 4.0 OPERATION Where high inertia loads must be started, engaging the clutch at idle speed may stall the engine.
5.0 DISASSEMBLY WARNING: The PTO is heavy. Use approved lifting eyes and procedures to prevent accident or injury. (Refer to PTO assembly drawing or illustration in Section 2 of this manual) Use a hoist or other suitable lifting equipment to support the weight of the power take-off. Attach lifting devices at several places or use cribbing to support the PTO in a horizontal position during removal.
5.3.4 Remove inner cup and shaft with bearings from PTO housing. 5.3.5 Remove shaft and bearings from PTO housing. 5.3.6 Using a suitable bearing press, remove bearings from shaft. 6.0 ASSEMBLY Refer and apply Section 3.1 throughout this section to ensure proper service life Refer to assembly drawing for each step 6.1.1 BEARING TO SHAFT ASSEMBLY...

6.1.3.10 Assemble sliding sleeve assembly to floating plate assembly using clevis pins and cotter pins. See Figure 8 & 9 for direction of clevis pins and positioning of cotter pins. (For "SP" style clutches go to item #6.1.3.18) 6.1.3.11 For "C" style, install floating plate on hub and backplate assembly. 6.1.3.12 Assemble finger levers to adjusting ring using clevis pins and cotter pins.
Maintenance Warning Do not allow unqualified personnel to install, adjust and/or repair the unit. Faulty workmanship could result in faulty installation, dangerous operation of the u nit, repeated costly maintenance and greatly shorten the life of the unit. Warning Do not perform maintenance work on the unit, without making sure that the machinery will remain in a safe position.
Maintenance schedule 7.1.1 The WPT mechanical PTO requires lubrication with NLGI #2 lithium-based grease. Prior to installation, grease the main shaft bearings and operating shaft. Apply grease to each fitting until grease just appears at the respective seal surfaces. Although the PTO is normally lubricated at the factory, this step will ensure that all moving parts are properly lubricated for initial use.
