Clutch Assembly Adjustment (Lubrication)

Clutch Assembly Adjustment (Lubrication)

Sealed Type

Some models are supplied with a sealed release bearing. These are not equipped with a lube fitting and requires no additional grease for the life of the clutch.

Greasable Type





The release bearing has been greased. If the vehicle is in regular service, grease the clutch every 10,000 hours or once per month. If the vehicle is in severe service, grease the clutch every 250 hours or once per month. Only high temperature greases should be used. Chassis lube or all purpose lubricants are not recommended.

Lubrication Procedure

1. Apply grease until the grease purges from the bearing housing onto the clutch brake and input shaft. Use a lithium soap base E.P. grease having a minimum +325°F operating range with N.L.G.I. Grade 1 or 2 specs.





Important: The clutch brake facing is designed to work best when it is coated with grease.


2. Manually apply lube to the transmission side of the clutch brake and on the input shaft between the brake and the bearing in order to lube the bushing inside the sleeve.




3. Apply a small amount of grease between the bearing wear pads and the clutch release fork. Repeat this at normal intervals.
