SLIP CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT
1. Turn off tractor engine and remove key.
2. Loosen nuts on springs until the springs can rotate
freely, yet remain secure on the bolts.
3. Mark outer plates of slip-disc clutch as shown in
Figure 14.
4. Securely attach implement to the tractor and start
the tractor.
5. Engage PTO for several seconds then quickly dis-
engage it.
6. Turn tractor off and remove key.
7. The friction lining plates should have "slipped", or
moved. Check the marks placed on the outer
plates of the slip-disc clutch in step 3 to make sure
this is the case.
8. If clutch does not slip, check assembly for oil,
grease and debris. Clean if necessary.
9. Reassemble clutch and tighten bolts no more than
1/8 of a turn at a time until desired compressed
spring length.
10. If excessive slippage continues, check lining plates
for excessive wear. They are .12" thick for the
RT42.30 and RT48.30 tillers and .14" thick for the
RT60.40 and RT72.40 tillers. They should be
replaced when there is only .05" thickness left to
ensure proper operation.
