CAUTION
Unless the brake clutch pack is new, keep all friction and reaction plates in the same order
and facing the same way. When one plate is replaced, replace the entire clutch pack. Each
used plate has made its own contour and wear pattern. The clutch assembly may not operate
effectively because plates in the pack may have poor surface contact when:
A plate is turned over.
A plate position in the pack is changed.
A new plate is inserted in the pack.
NOTE
A brake clutch pack has six internally splined friction plates and f ve reaction (steel) plates and
should be put fully into lubricating oil for a minimum of two minutes before installing the pack.
