Clutch
Caution!
Please note that the clutch must always be disengaged before shifting gear, before shifting be-
tween forward and reverse driving and when switching working devices on and off.
The clutch is actuated by the
clutch lever
. When the lever is pulled the clutch is disengaged, i.e.
the engine no longer drives the machine – see
fig. 10
.
In order to avoid clutch slippage during work, the clutch lever is adjusted in the factory so that it
has a little play. The clutch play must be checked and, if necessary, adjusted after the first hour
of operation. It is adjusted by means of the
adjusting screw
on the clutch lever or on the Bowd-
en cable under the hood – see
fig. 11
.
Multi-disc clutch:
approx. 5 - 10 mm
(to ensure that the clutch is completely disengaged,
the clutch must be adjusted so that there is not too much play.)
Depending on the application, the
adjusting screw
must be screwed in or out in order to obtain
the correct clutch play.
Secure the adjusting screw again afterwards by means of the lock
nut!
It is forbidden by
to leave the safety stop lever in the start-up position (safety stop lever
dep clutch lever locking pin latched) if the appliance is to be cleaned, serviced
or left, e.g. to clean the snow hoe – bring the appliance to a stop first using only the safety stop
lever and only then clean the tool.
