Maintenance Instructions

WARNING

Disconnect spark plug when performing mainte-

nance on rodder or engine.

Torque Limiter

(Figures 4 & 5)

The purpose of the torque limiter is to minimize kink-

ing of rods and excessive torque through the transmis-

sion system. Kinking is caused by heavy blockage within

pipe and must be adjusted to no more than 50 ft.-lbs.

(600 inch-lbs.) (68 Nm).

The torque limiter consists of two ber discs with one

assembled on either side of the drive sprocket A-3569.

When clamped against sprocket, the torque limiter pro-

duces the only connection between drive shaft B-3548

and drive sprocket A-3569.

Torque Limiter Adjustment Using Torque

Wrench

(Figures 4 & 5)

1. Disconnect spark plug wire.

2. Remove 3 screws and guard to expose torque limiter.

3. Back o three cap screws so they do not contact

backup plate. They are now free to be turned by

hand.

4. Back o torque limiter threaded ring until it turns

freely. Hand-tighten torque limiter threaded ring

against backup plate.

5. Hand-tighten three cap screws to make contact

with backup plate.

NOTICE

This insures that all three screws provide

even pressure against backup late at beginning of

torque adjustment.

6. Insert a

” hex key or pin through both sides of

chain near drive sprocket to lock chain.

7. Insert torque testing tool into shaft B-3548 and

lock in place with drive pin.

8. Install a 1 inch socket on torque wrench and apply

torque to torque testing tool. Record torque read-

ing at which torque limiter slips.

9. If torque reading is less than 50 ft.-lbs. (68 Nm)

tighten the 3 cap screws uniformly and recheck

torque reading. If torque reading is greater than

50 ft.-lbs. (68 Nm) loosen the 3 cap screws uniform-

ly and recheck torque reading.

NOTICE

Turn cap screws

turn for initial adjustment.

Reduce to

turn or less for nal adjustment to ob-

tain 50 ft.-lbs. (68 Nm) reading.
