Centrifugal Clutch - P.Lindberg 9068995 Manual

CENTRIFUGAL CLUTCH

The clutch on your machine is designed for rugged, dependable service, however, it is important
to understand the limitations of a clutch. A clutch is designed to provide load free starting of the
engine, and slippage under excessive overloading of the driven application. These features help
protect the engine from damages such as broken crankshafts and starters.
The clutch obtains its power from engine RPM's. The lower the engagement speed, and the
higher the maintained engine speed, the more torque the clutch can transfer to the driven unit.
Do not operate at less than full RPM's.
•
At engine start-up, the engine of your chipper operates under no load until approximately
1,000-1,200 RPM's at which speed the centrifugal clutch engages and begins driving the
rotor.
•
Proper rotor speed is 2,400 RPM + / - 200 RPM when engine is at full RPM.
•
Do not tamper with the engine's governor setting. The governor controls the maximum
safe operation speed and protects the engine. Over-speeding the engine is dangerous and
will cause damage to the engine and to the other moving parts of the machine. See your
authorized dealer for engine governor adjustments.
•
Become familiar with successful operating conditions and avoid those that can overload and
damage the machine.
•
Do not overload the machine or attempt to process material beyond the manufacturer's
recommendation. This may result in personal injury or damage to the machine.
•
Learn how your machine sounds when it's overloaded.
•
Stop the machine immediately if it gets stuck due to overloading or for any other reason, stop the
machine.
•
If you jam the machine and do not stop the engine it can:
- Burn the belt
- Ruin the clutch
•
Only experience as an operator can teach you how quickly branches can be fed into the machine.
•
Damage to the clutch can be costly and is not covered by warranty. Therefore, it is important to
switch off the machine if it becomes blocked.
