When we operate the tractor clutch, we also need to master certain methods and steps, and pay attention to better prolong its service life. Here are some things that need to be paid attention to!

  1. Pay attention to the correct posture of stepping on the clutch. The clutch pedal should be controlled using the forefoot. When stepping on the clutch pedal, step on the clutch pedal with the soles of your feet, the heels should be close to the ground, and the knees should be kept slightly bent when the clutch is pressed to the top. Never step on the pedals with your toes or lift your heels off the ground to avoid underpowered or slipping.
  2. pay attention to control the timing of the clutch. When driving, do not release the clutch too quickly or deliberately increase the engine speed too high. This will accelerate the wear of the clutch.
  3. Be careful to shift gears only after fully depressing the clutch pedal.
  4.  Note that when driving, do not always put your left foot on the clutch pedal, and do not step on the clutch pedal with your right foot.

Agricultural clutch is a kind of agricultural machinery, and its operation steps are as follows:

  1.  Try to start in 1st gear. In order to get the torque at the start, reduce the “overload” of the clutch.
  2. Use “semi-linkage” as little as possible. Drop the clutch as soon as possible after every successful start, and use the clutch as lightly as possible every time you shift gears.
  3. When using the clutch, the clutch pedal should be “stepped to the bottom” and “relaxed” to ensure the complete separation and reliable engagement of the clutch. In order to ensure full contact between the clutch plate and the flywheel and pressure plate.
  4. Change the throttle and gear reasonably, and try not to use semi-separation to reduce the speed of the vehicle; do not put your feet on the clutch pedal during driving, excessive use of semi-separation will cause premature wear of the release bearings, release levers and friction plates .
  5. When going downhill, use a low-speed small accelerator, and do not let the car slide freely in neutral; when the car is trapped, use the differential and differential lock correctly, and do not use the method of slamming the clutch pedal to start.
  6. Do not put your foot on the clutch pedal when driving normally.

1.clutch pedal free stroke adjustment

In order to ensure the normal work of the clutch, the clearance between the end of the clutch release lever and the end of the thrust bearing of the loose sliding sleeve assembly * is kept in the range of (2.5±0.5) ㎜, corresponding to the free stroke of the clutch pedal is 20㎜ – 30㎜. In the process of use, due to the constant wear of the clutch friction plate, the pressure plate moves forward, the gap is gradually reduced, or even disappear, therefore, the * regular check. Clutch pedal free stroke adjustment method has the following two.
(1) External adjustment: loosen the lock nut on the pull rod, remove the connecting pin, screw out the adjusting fork, so that the pedal free stroke reaches 20㎜ – 30㎜, and then through the connecting pin, screw the locking nut.

(2) internal adjustment: remove the opening pin on the adjusting nut from the front check hole on the left side of the clutch housing, screw out the adjusting nut, so that the clearance between the end of the lever (three-claw screw) and the end of the sliding sleeve thrust bearing reaches (2.5±0.5) ㎜, and then put the new opening pin into the lock. When using this method to adjust, ensure that the three loose lever end in the same vertical plane, with thickness gauge check, the error should not be greater than 0.3㎜.

2. Clutch separation stroke adjustment

In order to ensure the main clutch and separation of the power output of the clutch thoroughly, * make three block pin end face and the supporting bolt screw ring (9) end clearance in (2.25 + / – 0.5 ㎜), too big or too small, can cause the main clutch and power output, respectively, the separation of the clutch is not complete, therefore, should be regularly check and adjust when necessary.
When adjusting, screw the three supporting bolts to the end face of the corresponding three file pins, and then return the supporting bolts to the 9 card slots respectively (you can hear 9 sound), this gap is the value specified above.

3. Adjustment of release lever position

When re-installing the clutch disc assembly, * make the distance from the end of the lever to the end of the hub of the rear driven disc assembly 40 0-0.3mm loose; With butterfly spring this value is 42.5㎜.

Note: do not remove the interlocking lever when adjusting the free travel of the clutch pedal.
