CAUTION
Sintered-Metal Clutch Plates
The possibility of clutch pack failure exists on initial start-up after rebuild, due
to lack of lubrication until lube pressure builds up.
All sintered-metal clutch plates must be submerged in oil (use same oil as will
be used in unit) for minimum of one (1) hour prior to assembly. A longer
soaking period would be even more beneficial.
Covering the plates with oil from an oil can during assembly is NOT sufficient!
