MAINTENANCE

PTO Clutch (If Applicable)

The PTO system is activated by engaging an electric clutch. When the clutch is engaged, the

PTO driveline will rotate. When disengaged, a PTO brake is applied.
The PTO clutch brake must be checked and adjusted periodically as outlined in the Periodic

Maintenance Chart beginning on page 73.

Adjusting The PTO Clutch Brake

1. Put the gear selector in Park, stop the engine and

exit the vehicle. See page 40.

2. Remove the passenger seat and the storage

container to access the PTO clutch. See page 25.

3. Use a feeler gauge, and insert the end of the feeler

gauge into the edge of the clutch pack to a depth of

0.31 in. (8 mm) and measure the clearance.

4. Measure in three places (in the three openings in

between the three adjusting nuts) to determine the

clearance in all three areas on the clutch pack. The

clearance must be 0.014 in. (0.35 mm) in all the

three areas.

Tip: Do not insert the end of the feeler gauge more than 0.31

in. (8 mm) into the side of the clutch to get an accurate
measurement.

5. Tighten or loosen the three adjusting nuts until the

correct clearance is achieved evenly (at the three

areas checked) on the clutch.

6. The PTO clutch is removed.
