Installing
l  Installation is carried out in the reverse sequence; note the following:
  Note
t  Replace clutch plate and pressure disk with damaged or loose riveted unions.
t  To reduce the unpleasant smells of a burnt clutch, the clutch housing must be thoroughly cleaned, along with the flywheel and engine at the side facing the clutch.
t  Allocate clutch plate and pressure disk according to engine code → Electronic parts catalogue.
t  Eliminate any corrosion from the input shaft teeth and the drive plate of the clutch, applying a fine layer of approved lubricating grease → Spare parts catalogue. Then move the clutch plate on the input shaft from side to side, until the hub moves smoothly on the shaft. It is essential to remove excess grease.
t  The pressure disk has anti-corrosion protection and is greased. Only the contact surface must be cleaned; otherwise the working life of the clutch will be considerably reduced.
t  The contact surface of the pressure disk and clutch plate lining must be in total contact with the flywheel. Only then can the securing bolts be inserted.
l  Clutch plate installation position: the spring cage should point towards the pressure plate.
