Clutch Air Gap AdjustmentFigure 6-5.
This adjustment should be done every 500 hours of
operation or annually, whichever comes first. In cases
where the machine is heavily used, airgap settings should
be checked more often.
If the air gap is too narrow, the clutch armature may drag
when disengaged, resulting in premature failure.
If the air gap is too wide, the clutch may be slow to engage
as the magnet must pull the armature in from a greater
distance.
