Potential Problem |
Possible Reason |
Solution |
| Voltage
not releasing. |
Faulty
switch. |
Replace
switch. |
| Rotor
and armature locked together. |
The clutch
has been severely galled and has locked up. (Galling is the condition
whereby a piece of metal is trapped between the armature and the rotor
and melts due to high pressure and heat, spot welding the surfaces together.)
|
If rotor
and armature connot be separated, replace the clutch. If they do separate,
follow burnishing procedure. |
| Pulley
bearing locked. |
Bearing
lost grease due to seal problem, temperature or water contamination.
(Example)
|
Replace
clutch. |
| Brake
plate clamped down to tightly. |
If the
brake nuts are screwed down too tight, the armature will be pressed against
the rotor all the time. This should be evident by discoloration of the
brake shroud plate. If you leave it around long enough the brake shroud
and the clutch will be destroyed. (Example) |
Loosen
brake nuts and reset air gap. If clutch is destroyed, replace clutch. |
