Power Control Systems Operation

SMCS - 6162-12; 6162-11

Power Control

POWER CONTROL LEVERS

Date Updated -11/10/2001

1. Left side blade lift or lower lever. 2. Scarifier lift or lower lever. 3. Circle reverse lever. 4. Circle center shift lever. 5. Front wheel lean lever. 6. Right side blade lift or lower lever.

The power control uses engine power to move the implements and lean the front wheels. A shaft is connected by splines to the engine flywheel. This shaft goes through the center of the transmission upper shaft and turns the drive shaft for the power control.

The drive shaft turns worm shaft (14). The worm shaft turns a worm gear which is fastened to drive coupling (13) by splines. Shear pin (11) sends the power to driven coupling (12) which is fastened by splines to shaft (10). The shear pin protects the power control components from overloads.

Shaft (10) turns bevel gear (8) that is engaged with transfer gears (7) and (9). These transfer gears give power to the transfer gears for the other clutches. The transfer gears at the front of the housing turn in opposite directions to their respective transfer gear at the rear of the housing.

The clutches, when engaged, send the power from a transfer gear to an output shaft. The blade lift and lower clutches are different from the other clutches.

Power Control Clutches

Blade Lift or Lower Clutches

The blade lift or lower lever (1) is connected to shifter shaft (7) for both of the blade lift clutches. Shifter fork (4) is fastened to the shaft by a pin. The shifter fork fits over pressure plate (9) and (10). The pressure plates are held apart by springs (13). The pressure plates fit in the groove in clutch (12).

BLADE LIFT OR LOWER CLUTCHES

1. Blade lift or lower lever. 2. Spring. 3. Cartridge assembly. 4. Shifter fork. 5. Cartridge assembly. 6. Spring. 7. Shifter shaft. 8. Output shaft. 9. Pressure plate. 10. Pressure plate. 11. Transfer gear. 12. Clutch. 13. Springs. 14. Transfer gear.

When the clutches are not engaged, springs (2) and (6) keep clutch (12) in its center position between transfer gears (11) and (14). The force of springs (13) keeps pressure plate (9) and (10) against the side of the groove in clutch (12). This causes a braking action and keeps blade drift to a minimum.

When the blade control lever is moved forward to the BLADE LOWER position, shifter fork (4) moves pressure plate (9) toward pressure plate (10). This compresses springs (13) and removes the braking force on one side of the clutch groove. This lets output shaft (8) turn freely when the jaws of the clutch engage the jaws on gear (14). When the clutch is engaged with the transfer gear, power is sent through the clutch to the output shaft.

1. Control lever. 2. Springs. 3. Shifter shaft. 4. Output shaft. 5. Rear shifter fork. 6. Collar. 7. Clutch rear collar. 8. Front shifter fork. 9. Clutch front collar.

Control lever (1) is connected to shifter shaft (3). Two shifter forks (5) and (8) are installed on the shifter shaft. The forks are held in place by springs (2) and collar (6). The collar is fastened to the shaft by a pin. The shifter forks fit in the grooves in clutch collars (7) and (9). The clutch collars slide on splines on output shaft (4). The shifter forks and collars work together to give power rotation of the output shaft in either direction.

This is the sample of the manual

When the clutches are not engaged, lugs on rear shifter fork (5) are engaged with notches in clutch front collar (9). This gives a mechanical lock so that the implements can not move.

CLUTCH ENGAGED

9. Clutch front collar. 10. Setscrew. 11. Retainer ring. 12. Transfer gear.

When the control lever is moved toward the front, the mechanical lock is released first. With additional movement of the control lever, the jaws on clutch front collar (9) engage the jaws on transfer gear (12). This causes the output shaft to rotate.

Setscrew (10) and retainer ring (11) are stops for the clutch collars. These stops prevent movement of one collar when the other collar is moved to the engaged position.
