d) Adjusting the Slip Clutch
The slip clutch protects the transmission from overload e.g. when starting on an especially non-slip surface.
The corresponding setting of the slip clutch also protects the vehicle from overturning as a result of the high torque of
the brushless drive when starting.
The manufacturer has already chosen the best setting; therefore, a change is usually not necessary.
If you want to change the setting, proceed as follows:
Turn the three screws (A) of the gear cover (B) out; take
off the gear cover.
The slip clutch can be adjusted by twisting the hexagon
nut (C).
Turn is clockwise to the right to increase power transmis-
sion, turn it counter-clockwise to the left to reduce power
transmission.
If the slip clutch is tightened too much, the driving power will be fully transmitted and the slip clutch is inac-
tive. This may damage the differential; there also is the danger that the vehicle turns over due to the high
torque if the underground friction is too high.
If the slip clutch is set too "soft", the slip clutch wears very strongly. In addition, acceleration is poor or the
vehicle does not move at all (slippage of slip clutch).
Adjust the slip clutch in small steps only (max. 1/4 - 1/2 turn) and then test the vehicle's behaviour at start-up.
Always remember the change made, so that you can reverse it again if necessary.
