Clutch maintenance

[Jubel]

I have an L3400 and was reading how to adjust the clutch.
According to directions; They say to adjust the clutch pedal and then adjust the three bolts behind the metal plate on the right side.
what confuses me is it says to do the three bolts the repeat the process a second time.
What is the reason for doing it a second time? ( It doesn’t say to start the tractor or press the clutch pedal——then repeat the procedure. )

Do you need to adjust the clutch or just check the adjustment? I usually check the adjustment by depressing the clutch pedal. You should have about an inch of free play before it starts to feel like it's doing anything. If you have that inch of free play you're probably fine.

I did have to adjust the pedal movement back to within specs. I now was planning on checking the three bolts near the flywheel. This has never been done and I have 1200 hours on the tractor.
I believe I found what was confusing me. I think the instructions are telling me to adjust the bolts to spec and then readjust the clutch pedal again if necessary. Does that sound correct?
Any tips on doing this would be appreciated. It seems pretty straight forward.

That sounds about right to me. Your initial post did not identify which three bolts you were adjusting. I still don't know what that adjustment entails. By all means follow the instructions but if you have the correct amount of free play and everything works you should be good.

Have a look at this. I hope it helps.
