MAINTENANCE

Clutch System

n

Drive Belt Deflection

Measure belt deflection with

both clutches at rest and in

their full neutral position.

Place a straight edge on the

belt (1) and apply downward

pressure while measuring at

point 2. This measurement

should be 1 1/4 inches (32

mm).

Drive Belt Adjustment

Belt deflection should be adjusted without removing the clutch from the

jackshaft.
1. Loosen the 7/16-inch jam nut on the belt width adjuster.
2. Using a 1/8-inch Allen wrench, adjust the threaded set screw as

needed.

NOTE: Turn the set screw in (clockwise) to increase the distance

between the sheaves and out (counterclockwise) to decrease

the distance.

3. Tighten the jam nut.
