With the clutch fully engaged (clutch control
handle in the forward position) the clearance
between "A" and "B" should be minimal. When
disengaged, the plate "B" (with three legs) should
move a minimum of 1/10 inch to insure disengage-
ment. To adjust for proper clearance, loosen the
jam nut on the clutch lever turnbuckle, and adjust
the turnbuckle. After obtaining the proper clear-
ance tighten the jam nut securely against the
turnbuckle.
The clutch is factory adjusted and should not
require further adjustment under normal operating
conditions. However, if clutch slips or fails to
disengage, see your International Harvester dealer.
NOTE: Periodically lubricate the bushing in the
clutch lever bracket with a few drops of engine oil.
After considerable use, it may be necessary to
readjust the clutch to secure proper clutch engage-
ment.
A CAU!'ON! Do not adjust with engine
running.
