SEASONAL CLUTCH MAINTENANCE
It is important that the clutches slip when an obstacle or load heavier than the clutch setting is encountered.
Before using the cutter each season, use the following procedure to make sure the clutch will slip and give the
overload protection required.
1.
Loosen nuts (Figure Mnt-R-0251) on springs until the springs can freely rotate, yet remain secure on bolts.
2.
Attach mower to tractor and start the tractor. Set the engine speed at 1200 RPM.
3.
Engage the PTO (approximately one second) and then quickly disengage it. The friction lining plates 
shoulder break loose.
4.
Turn tractor off and tighten the nuts on the springs to their original position of 1-9/16" compressed spring 
length.
