Adjust Main PTO Driveline Slip Clutch (MegaWide Plus and Regular Pickup)

1. Dirt can become trapped between the pressure plate and the disk spring, preventing the disk spring from flattening. Disassemble the clutch and clean dirt from between the pressure plate and the disk spring. Damage to the baler can occur if the clutch cannot slip when necessary.

   If the distance between the rear plate and the tab on the pressure plate is outside the specifications, the slip clutch can either not slip or can slip too easily. Damage to the drive components can occur if the clutch cannot slip.

   Failure to follow the order of the following steps can damage the clutch.

   The clutch can be adjusted while on the machine.
