MAINTENANCE

Clutch System

Drive Belt Condition

Periodically check the condition and tension of the drive belt, and

always carry a spare. Inspect the belt for signs of excessive wear: frayed

edges, missing cogs, cracks and excessive looseness. Replace the belt if

any of these conditions exist.

The following procedures apply to TEAM driven clutches.

Drive Belt Removal

1. Be sure the key switch is off and

the engine has come to a com-

plete stop. Apply the brake (or

lock the parking brake if

equipped).

2. Open the hood, remove the clutch

guard retaining pin and open the

clutch guard.

3. Locate the L-wrench in the tool

kit and install it into the open

threaded hole in the outer sheave

of the clutch. Rotate the wrench

until the sheaves open far enough

to remove the belt.

4. Firmly grasp the belt midway between the clutches and pull upward

and rearward to remove. See illustration.
