7. CLUTCH DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURES.
WARNING
Cleaning procedures shall be accomplished in a well-lighted, well
ventilated area with adequate safety and fire prevention equipment
readily available.
CAUTION
Protect ports, bores and passages of assemblies or components be-
tween maintenance procedures.
CAUTION
Use plastic caps or plugs to seal lubrication lines and passages. Do
not use cloth, tape or aluminum caps/plugs.
CAUTION
Maintain hardware integrity. Do not interchange clutch detail hard-
ware with other clutch assemblies.
CAUTION
Provide proper coverings or supports to protect shafts, splines and
projecting parts from damage. If tapping is required to separate
parts, use a cellulose-tipped hammer or a fiber or rawhide mallet. If
clamping is necessary, clamp parts in vices that have micrata jaws or
equivalent.
CAUTION
Ensure plastic caps remain installed on both sides of the splined out-
put adapter to preclude contamination of roller bearing (20).
CAUTION
Heat discoloration of metal surfaces is acceptable except where
noted. Scale that could come loose and damage the clutch shall be
removed.
NOTE
Cleaning procedures for individual parts shall be consistent with good shop
practices and the following procedures. Correct cleaning for all parts is im-
portant to the successful operation of the clutch assembly.
