Slip Clutch adjustments
Slip Clutch must be adjusted before first use or after a storage period.
1.
Using a marker, scribe a line across the exposed edges of the clutch plate and friction discs.
2.
Back off compression nuts to free friction discs by turning each nut exactly 2 revolutions.

4.
Disengage PTO, shut down tractor and wait for all components to come to a complete stop.
5.
Inspect the clutch and ensure that the scribed markings on the disc and plates have changed position. If
any two marks are still aligned, this is an indication that these discs have not slipped. It may be necessary
to completely disassemble the clutch to free them up.
6.
After ensuring all discs are free, tighten the compression nuts, uniformly, exactly 2 revolutions to resent
the clutch original pressure.
