New power take-offs should have the clutch adjustment checked before being placed into service. The clutch adjustment should be checked again after the first ten hours of operation. New clutch plates have a “wear in” period, and the clutch may require several adjustments until the new plates are “worn in”.

Heavy-duty applications which have engagements that are frequent and relatively long periods of clutch slippage require more frequent adjustment than light-duty applications. The operating torque should be measured in order to determine if a clutch adjustment is required.Refer to the OEM information and instruction plate (1) for instructions on lubrication, adjustment, and other recommendations for service. Perform the maintenance that is specified on the instruction plate.
Do not operate the engine with the Instruction Plate cover removed from the clutch. Personal injury may result.If the clutch is damaged to the point of burst failure, expelled pieces can cause personal injury to anyone in the immediate area. Proper safeguards must be followed to help prevent accidents.
