Checking and Replacing the Clutch
Checking the Clutch
1. With belt cover removed, visually check outer drum of the
clutch for seizure and "V" groove for wear or damage.
2. Clean the "V" groove as necessary.
3. Check the clutch lining and shoe for signs of wear. If the shoe
is worn, replace the clutch to prevent deficient power
transmission and slippage.
Replacing the Clutch
1. Place a 19 mm offset wrench or the like onto the lower vibrator
pulley fastening bolt.
2. While pulling back hard on the V-belt near the lower vibrating
pulley, rotate offset wrench clockwise so that the V-belt slips
off the lower vibrator pulley. Set V-belt aside.
3. Remove bolt at engine power output by giving a shock to an
engaged wrench (e.g. tapping with hammer) and rotate the
bolt counterclockwise.
4. Remove clutch with a pulley extractor.
5. To install a new clutch, reverse steps 1-4.
1. Place the plate compactor horizontally on a flat surface.
2. Remove oil drain plug (Figure 21) from vibrator and drain oil
from the vibrating case.
3. Using a funnel, fill vibrating case with SAE10W-30 motor
oil.The oil level should be up to the oil plug. The vibrator holds
140 cc (approximately 1 pint).
4. Re-install oil drain plug into vibrator.
