Checking position of adjusting mechanism with new pressure
plates only
•
Both edges -A- of the adjuster ring must be located between
the two notches -arrows B-.
•
If the adjuster ring takes up a different position in new pressure
plates, the pressure plate and clutch plate are not allowed to
be installed.
•
The adjuster ring may take up a position outside the notches
in used clutches.
Note
Renew clutch plates and pressure plates with damaged or
♦
loose rivet connections.
Always renew pressure plate and clutch plate together.
♦
Select clutch plate and pressure plate according to engine
♦
code and ⇒ Electronic parts catalogue „ETKA" .
If clutch has burnt out, thoroughly clean clutch housing, fly‐
♦
wheel and parts of engine facing gearbox to reduce smell of
burnt linings.
Clean input shaft splines and, on used clutch plates, clean hub
♦
splines; remove corrosion and apply only a very thin coat of
clutch plate spline grease -G 000 100- to splines. Then move
clutch plate to and fro on input shaft until hub moves freely on
shaft. Remove excessive grease.
♦
Pressure plates are protected against corrosion and greased.
Clean contact surface only. Otherwise, the service life of the
clutch will be considerably reduced.
Pressure plate contact surface and clutch plate lining must
♦
make full contact with flywheel. Only then insert securing bolts.
