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

1. To maintain drive protection, disassemble and clean dirt between the pressure plate and the disk spring. Dirt can become trapped between the pressure plate and the disk spring not allowing the disk spring to flatten.

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

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

   Clutch can be adjusted while on the machine.
