Adjusting The Friction Clutch - Reely Rat Max Bedienungsanleitung

e) Adjusting the friction clutch
The friction clutch protects the gears against overload (e.g. on non-slip surfaces).
In addition, adjusting the friction clutch correctly prevents the vehicle from overturning due to the brushless engine's
high torque.
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 slip clutch linings to wear
off over time, whereby an adjustment of the slip 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:
Pull out the two clips (A), then remove the dust cover (B).
The friction clutch can be adjusted by turning the hex nut (C).
Turn the hex nut clockwise (when viewed from the rear of the
vehicle) to increase the drive power to the gearbox, or anti-
clockwise to decrease the power transmission.
If the friction clutch is too tight, the maximum drive
power will be transmitted and the clutch will not func-
tion.
This may damage the differential and the vehicle
may overturn on non-slip surfaces due to the high
torque from the brushless engine.
If the friction clutch is too "soft", this places signifi-
cant wear on the friction clutch. It also affects ac-
celeration and may prevent the vehicle from moving
(due to spinning of the friction clutch).
Adjust the clutch in very 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.
