Clutch Pre-run setup
Clutches must be burnished before operation. We recommend the clutches be engaged/
disengaged a few times to break them in before being placed under load.
1.
Run the engine at 50% throttle.
2.
Engage and disengage the clutch 25 times 10 seconds ON and 10 seconds OFF.
3.
Run the engine at 75% throttle,
4.
Engage and disengage the clutch 25 times 10 seconds ON and 10 seconds OFF.
It is recommended 15-20 ft-lbs of torque on pulley assembly screws
Burnishing procedure
must be done on a brand new unit before it is loaded with material
.
Never perform the burnishing procedure while drive is loaded.
Starting Up
Check oil level. Oil must be added prior to operation. (Briggs and Stratton requires SAE 30,
Honda calls for 5W-30)
Reasonable precautions should be taken to avoid overloads in the early stage of running.
Temperature rise on the initial run will be higher than the temperature eventually reached after
the gear is fully run in.
Maintenance
Shut off power before inspection. The oil level, in the worm gear unit should be checked at least
once a month. (To check oil level, undo set screw located at the three o’clock position in Picture
#1. Oil should be seen just below this level)
To maintain free ventilation of the unit, the breather hole in the filler plug (air-vent on top of unit
Picture #1) should be kept clear at all times. Inspect regularly the set screw and reducer
mounting bolts for tightness as loose fasteners can cause misalignment and excessive wear.
Changing Lubricant
-
Every year gear box should be drained, flushed and refilled with proper oil.
-
Never mix two different types of oil. Be sure to drain and wash before using another type of
oil.
