DRIVE CLUTCH CLEANING AND INSPECTION

1. Use a dry, lint-free cloth to clean clutch parts.
CAUTION
• Do not lubricate the drive clutch. Lubricants attract dirt and dust, which interfere with proper clutch
operation.
• Use only a dry cloth to lightly wipe the shaft of the fixed sheave (18) (Figure 25-3, Page 25-4). Do not
use a brush or steel wool. These will damage the surface of the shaft.
• Do not use solvents. Solvents will damage the lubricating characteristics of the bushings.
2. Inspect the belt contact surfaces of the clutch sheaves for wear. If any area of a sheave contact surface has wear
of 0.060 in. (1.52 mm) or more, the clutch should be replaced.

DRIVE CLUTCH DISASSEMBLY

CAUTION
• The drive clutch is balanced as an assembly. Before disassembly, make match marks on the drive
clutch hub and on the moveable sheave so they can be reassembled in the same positions (Figure
25-6, Page 25-7).
1. Make match marks on the drive clutch hub and on the moveable face (Figure 25-6, Page 25-7).
2. Remove the drive clutch hub (5) (Figure 25-3, Page 25-4):
2.1. Remove the three plugs (4) from the clutch puller attachment holes.
