Adjusting The Friction Clutch - Reely 4WD RtR Notice D'emploi

e) Adjusting the friction clutch
The friction clutch protects the gears against overload (e.g. on non-slip surfaces).
In addition, a respective adjustment of the friction clutch prevents the vehicle from tipping over due to the high torque
of a drive when starting-up.
The manufacturer has configured the optimal setting, therefore you do not normally need to make any
changes.
However, very frequent start-ups with full power on a surface with good grip can cause the friction clutch linings to
wear off, whereby an adjustment of the friction clutch may possibly be required. Furthermore, professional operators
can adjust the friction clutch based on the preferred starting behaviour on a specific surface.
To adjust the clutch, proceed as follows:
Remove the dust cover (A) by unscrewing the 3 screws.
The friction clutch can be adjusted by turning the hex nut
(B).
Turn the hex nut clockwise to increase the drive power
to the gearbox, or anticlockwise to decrease the power
transmission.
If the friction clutch is too tight, the maximum
drive power will be transmitted and the clutch
will not function. This can damage the differen-
tial, and there is also the risk that the vehicle
will tip over when running on a surface with
good grip due to the high torque of the motor
during start-up.
If the friction clutch is too "soft", this places
significant wear on the friction clutch. It also
affects acceleration and may prevent the vehi-
cle from moving (due to spinning of the friction
clutch).
Adjust the clutch in small steps (max. 1/4 turn) and check how the vehicle responds. Make a note of each
change so that you can revert to the previous setting if necessary.
