Removing the Clutch Shim

connectors, and terminals. Clean or repair as

necessary.

B. Field shell F. Re-gap shim

C. Rotor G. Brake pole

D. Brake mounting bolt

Some later model year units have been built with

clutches that contain a brake shim. When the clutch

brake has worn to the point where the clutch no longer

engages consistently, the shim can be removed to

extend the clutch life (Fig. 477).

1. Stop the engine, wait for all moving parts to stop,

and remove the key. Engage the parking brake.

Allow the machine to cool completely before starting

these instructions.

2. Using an air compressor, blow out any debris from

under the brake pole and around the brake spacers

(Fig. 478).
