Torque Limiter Adjustment

•

Although the torque limiter clutch is factory (Dryair) set, periodic adjustment may be required. It is recommended tha torque setting of

the clutch be checked twice a season. With prolonged use, the two friction disks, located on either side of the A-plate sprocket, will

eventually show wear.

•

It is important that the torque limiter clutch is adjusted properly. If the clutch slips too easily, the spool will take too long to stop and

hose will pile up on the reel. If the clutch does not slip at all, the protection on the Altivar 11 drive will take over and the spool will

again take too long to stop.

Note: A visual check may be required to confirm whether it is the clutch that is slipping or whether it is the Altivar 11 drive that is auto

matically adjusting in an overload situation.

•

Check that the clutch is adjusted properly with the following procedure:

Physical check

•

With no power being applied to the reel, grip the edge of the spool plate and

apply full upward force, making sure that you are lifting with your legs and

not your back.

•

You should be able to cause the clutch to just slip with full lifting force.

•

If the clutch does not slip or slips too easily, refer to the "torque adjust

procedure", below.

Torque adjust procedure

•

Insure that the adjusting nut is in a finger tight position.

•

If the adjustment nut is tighter than finger tight, loosen and complete

previous step.

•

Match mark the adjusting nut with the hub. Using a torque wrench tighten

the adjusting nut to 50ft*lb.

After the break-away torque is set, bend the tabs of the lock washer over the

hex flats of the adjusting nut.

Note: The torque limiter clutch nut requires

a reasonable amount of force to adjust. Use

a torque wrench that provides you with at

least 18" of leverage.

Run-in procedure

•

If the torque limiter has been taken apart

and reassembled or friction disks have been

changed, it is recommended that the clutch

be "run in" by "slipping" the center

member (sprocket).

•

Insure that the adjusting nut is in a finger

tight position.

•

Match mark the adjusting nut and hub.

Advance the adjusting nut ¼ turn from

finger tight.

•

Slip the torque limiter sprocket for 8

minutes at full RPM.

•

Refer back to the "Torque adjust proce-

dure" for final readjustment.
