MAINTENANCE

Clutch Center Distance

Measure belt deflection with both

clutches at rest and in their full neutral

position.
Place a straight edge on the belt and

apply downward pressure while mea-

suring at the point shown.
The recommended center distance

for your machine can be found on the

Owner’s Manual Specification Sup-

plement.
Due to tolerances in belt length, it may

be necessary for your dealer to make

minor adjustments in the driven clutch

to achieve correct belt tension.

Belt Deflection Adjustment (P-85 System)

Adjustment can be done on P-85 clutches without removing the clutch from the

jackshaft.

1. Pull belt into driven clutch to slightly open sheaves.
2. Loosen the three bolts on the adjustment cam.
3. To reduce distance between sheaves, turn cam counterclockwise. Torque

bolts to 10 ft. lbs. (1.4 kg/m)

NOTE: If your model has a P-90 clutch, any adjustments must be performed by

your dealer.
