Nortrac 35XT Owner's Manual page 63

IMPORTANT ISSUES:
1. Adjusting the clutch requires technical skills and specific tools. If uncomfortable completing this task
call NorTrac Technical Support.
2. In order to keep the friction plate from the oil, keep drain hole clear of any blockage below the flywheel
casing. If serious leakage is found, repair immediately. Use solvent to clean the friction plate if
necessary.
3. In order to avoid friction plate abrasion, the clutch should be maintained and adjusted frequently; don't
release and engage the clutch randomly; when releasing the clutch, step on the clutch pedal rapidly to set
the limit. Never run the tractor when the clutch is semi-engaged as this will damage the clutch.
4. Never use the tractor when the clutch is not adjusted properly. This will speed up abrasion of the clutch
friction plate and possibly burn the friction plate.
5. When installing the clutch, fill with lithium base grease in the internal cavity of the release bearing
support.
6. When dismantling the clutch, replace the release bearing and the throwout bearing.
