Clutch Adjustment Mechanical 9 CF Mixer
If the rotating mixing paddles appear to be losing rotational speed,
it may be necessary to adjust the clutch. For optimum
performance Multiquip recommends 47.45-74.57 N-m (35-55 ft-
lbs). applied pressure to the hand clutch lever. After the first initial
operating hours (8) check the clutch for proper ensasment
pressure.
Clutch Adjustment Procedure
1. To gain access to the " Gear Reduction Compartment"
remove the four 14 mm (9/16-inch) hex head bolts that
secure the hood to the engine and remove engine hood.
2. Drain the clutch compartment oil (Figure 8) by removing
the magnetic 9 mm (3/8-inch) plug located at the bottom of
the Gear Reduction Assembly.
The Gear Reduction Compartment
consist of two compartments, a lower
and upper. The lower compartment
houses the clutch, the uppe r
compartment contains the actual gear
reduction. Remember each compartment requires a different
type of lubricating oil.
If the clutch cannot be adjusted, it may
be necessary to inspect or replace the
clutch.
C. When the clutch has been satisfactorily adjusted reinstall
the adjustment lock P/N EM 934040 and tighten lock
bolt.
D. Reinstall the clutch Inspection door using the six 12 mm
(1/2-inch) cap screws and lock washers, and also check
that the gasket is not worn or broken.
E. Remove the 9 mm (3/8-inch) square head pipe plug located
on the lower clutch compartment. Refill the clutch
compartment with 2.12 liters (2-1/4 quarts) of SAE 30 motor
oil to the level of the plug. When done reinstall plug.
F. Start engine, check for proper clutch engagement and
inspect for any oil leaks.
