I. New Clutch Torque New clutch torque is approximately 40% less than rated design torque until the friction and drive discs are worn in (lapped, burnished). The length of time for wear-in to occur depends upon the application. II. Installing a Sprocket or Pulley Mach III units are typically shipped from the factory with the required sprocket or pulley preinstalled. This section pertains only to those who need to install or replace a pulley or sprocket in the field.

IV. Clutch Operation The maximum operating pressure should not exceed 80 PSI. Operation at pressures greater than that required for proper function will decrease the life of the bearings. Special Note Regarding Friction Disc Contamination: The friction material used in this product will absorb oil, water, chemicals and other contaminants. Depending on the type of contamination, clutch may either seize up entirely or lose torque capacity. If friction discs become contaminated, they should be replaced.
