Clutch System

Drive Belt Deflection

Measure belt deflection with both

clutches at rest and in their full

neutral position.
Place a straight edge (1) on the

belt and apply downward pressure

while measuring at point 2. This

measurement should be 1 1/4I

(3.2 cm).

Drive Belt Adjustment

1. Install the L-wrench into the open threaded hole in the outer sheave

of the clutch (see page 83). Turn the wrench clockwise slightly to

remove pressure from the sheaves.

2. Loosen the 7/16I jam nut.
3. Using a 1/8I Allen wrench, turn the set screw inward (clockwise) to

increase the distance between the sheaves or outward (counter-

clockwise) to decrease the distance.

4. Tighten the jam nut. Store the L-wrench in the tool kit.

Torque Stop

Periodically check torque stop

clearance. With clutches in

proper alignment, the torque

stop clearance should be

.010I-.030I (.25-.75 mm)

from the engine case.

Adjust if necessary, and lock

the jam nut.
