Twin Disc, Incorporated Description and Specifcations
Description and Specifcations
General Information

The SP111, SPE111, SP211, SPE211, SP311, RFD111 and RFD211 Series
Twin Disc Power Take-Offs are engine-mounted power take-offs that use
cast iron one-piece or two-piece housings and contain an integral clutch 11
1/2 inches in diameter. The engine drives the clutch through a drive ring that
is bolted to the engine fywheel and connected to the clutch through internal
teeth that mesh with external teeth on the clutch friction plate(s). Clutch
engagement and disengagement for most units is accomplished by use
of the external hand lever assembly. Some units may use other actuation
methods.
The RB111, RB211 and RB11PM Series Twin Disc Power Take-Offs are
engine-mounted power take-offs that use cast iron one-piece or two-piece
housings and contain a drive spider or torsional spring coupling mounted on
the input end of the drive shaft. Model RB units are direct drive units; they
contain no clutch. The engine drives the drive spider through a drive ring that
is bolted to the engine fywheel and connected to the drive spider through
internal teeth that mesh with rubber blocks mounted on external teeth of the
drive spider. Torsional spring couplings are bolted directly to the fywheel.
RB11PM units have a pump mount at the rear of the main housing.
Main bearings are lubricated and cooled with oil or grease, depending upon
the design specifcations. Most units use pilot bearings that are pre-lubricated
and sealed for life, although some may require periodic relubrication. Those
that require periodic relubrication are lubricated through a grease ftting
located in the output end or side of the clutch shaft.
SPE models are designed with release mechanism features and a positive
clearance mechanism to provide extended service and limited attendance
advantages.

Grease Lubrication:
Hand-pack the bearings before assembly. Hand-packing requires that the
roller elements and bearing races be coated with grease. After assembly,
add grease through the grease ftting until grease escapes from the outboard
labyrinth seal all around the shaft. Do Not Overfll. Always rotate the shaft
while adding grease to the bearing cavity.
Oil Lubrication SP211OP and SPE211OP Series:
Fill with oil through the ftting at the top of the bearing carrier until the oil level
registers full on the oil level gauge.
Oil Lubrication SP311OP Series (BOM SP311P306, for example):
Oil is supplied through a hose connected to the (orifce) ftting at the top
of the bearing carrier. Oil is supplied whenever the engine is running. Oil
drains from the bearing carrier through a hose connected at the bottom of
the bearing carrier.
Oil Lubrication RB11PM Series:
Fill with oil through the oil fll cup until the oil level is at the bottom of the oil
level check plug.

Installation Tips
Tapered Roller Bearing Adjustment
1. Tapered roller bearing end play adjustment is different in SP211,
SP311, RFD211, RB111 and RB211 Series Power Take-Offs for side
load applications than it is for in-line applications. Insure that the
adjustment is correct for the application.
2. All SP111, SPE111, SP211, SPE211, SP311, RFD111, RFD211, RB111
and RB211 Series Power Take-Offs are manufactured at Twin Discs
factory with the tapered roller bearing end play adjusted for side-load
application.
3. Tests and controlled studies indicate that the tapered roller bearing
end play adjustment for SP111, SPE111, RFD111, RB111 and RB211
Series Power-Take-Offs does not need to be changed to use the PTO
for in-line applications. No readjustment is necessary.
4. Tapered roller bearing end play in SP211, SPE211, SP311, RFD111
and RFD211 Series Power Take-Offs used for in-line applications must
be adjusted to specifcations shown in Tapered Roller Bearing End
Play in the Description and Specifcations section of this manual.
a. For model SP211, SPE211, SP311, RFD211, RB111 and RB211
Series PTOs that are rebuilt or remanufactured: Adjust the
end play to proper specifcations for in-line applications at
the time of assembly. Follow instructions contained in the
Assembly section of this manual.
40
Installation
b. For SP211, SPE211, SP311 and RFD211 Series PTOs
manufactured in Twin Discs factory: Readjust the factory
end play setting prior to installation on the engine for in-line
applications. Most SP211, SPE211, SP311 and RFD211 Series
Power Take-Offs have a tag attached to the housing which
contains instructions that must be followed. Readjust the end
play setting as instructed.
Figure 5. Factory Instruction Tag for End Play Adjustment
Alignment
5. The flywheel and flywheel housing alignment must be within
specifications. Perform the measurements shown in Prior To
Installation in this Installation section.
6. Avoid excessive misalignment between the engine and PTO. Check
the following if abnormal wear of parts exists:
a. Excessive loads tend to defect parts to which PTOs are
mounted. A dial indicator can be mounted on a rigid part of
the engine or independently on the foundation to determine
defection under actual operating conditions. See Support
Plate, Belt or chain tension/Allowable Side Load Pulls and
Defection Caused by Side Load Pulls in this Installation
section and information contained in the Description and
Specifcations section regarding these issues
b. Readings taken before the drive is installed with the engine
standing still and when under operating conditions (with the
engine off and all belts, chains, driveshafts and/or support plates
attached and secured with bolts torqued to specifcations) will
indicate the extent of defection. In no case should the defection
exceed 0.254 mm. (0.010 in.) (T.I.R.) at the bearing carrier.
Note: The dial indicator should never be applied with the engine
running. This is unsafe and could result in damage to
the dial indicator.
41
7. In a u-joint-type installation, to realize the longest possible life of
the power take-off bearings, the best possible alignment must be
maintained between the center line of the power take-off shaft and
the center line of the driven unit shaft. See information contained in
Alignment-U-Joint-Type Installation in this Installation section.
8. In side-load installations, alignment between the driveR and driveN
pulleys must be carefully established and maintained. See Position
and Measure Alignment of the Sheave in this Installation section.
Drive Ring
9. The drive ring must be properly installed. See information in Drive
Ring Installation in this Installation section.
Pilot Bearings
10. Ball-type pilot bearings and Roller-type pilot bearings must be installed
properly. See Ball-Type Pilot Bearing Installation or Roller-Type
Pilot Bearing Installation in this Installation section.
Support Plate
11. When mounting the engine and Power Take Off in the machine, a
customer-supplied support plate may be required to support the output
end of the pto housing. See the information about customer-supplied
support plates and Twin Disc PTO Support Plate Specifcations
contained in the Description and Specifications section of this
manual.
Failure to follow this requirement may result in damage to the power
take off or the engine fywheel housing.
Belt or chain tension/Allowable Side Load Pulls
12. Avoid excessive tightening of belts or chains. See the Allowable Side
Load tables in this Installation section.
13. Avoid excessively loose belts or chains. Belt tension or chain
adjustment that is below specifcations can cause belt/chain whip
during operation, resulting in bearing failure and shortened power
take-off service life.
42
Installation
Defection Caused by Side Load Pulls
14. Power Take-Off defection due to loads imposed by the application
should not exceed specifed limits shown in PTO Defection in the
Description and Specifcations section. Defection should be measured
at the support plate location on the power take-off (or main bearing
area of the housing if no support plate is used).
Figure 6. Determining Defection While Applying Side Loads
The dial indicator should not be applied while the unit is operating. This
could result in damage to the dial indicator.
Lubrication
15. Verify that the PTO is properly lubricated prior to starting the
engine.
a. The throwout collar is lubricated by grease through a grease
ftting on the outside of the main housing.
b. SP211OP, SP311OP and RB11PM Series main bearings are
lubricated by oil contained in the main bearing cavity.
43
c. All other SP111, SPE111, SP211, SPE211, SP311, RFD111,
RFD211, RB111 and RB211 Series main bearings are lubricated
by grease through a grease ftting in the housing or bearing
carrier.
d. The sealed-for-life pilot bearing should not be lubricated during
service.
e. Pilot bearings designed for periodic lubrication must be
greased. See Lubrication in the Maintenance section for more
information. Improper lubrication will result in premature failure
of components. DO NOT OVERGREASE!
Refer to the Twin Disc Power Take-Off Reference Listing and Filling
the Main Bearing Cavity in the Description and Specifcations section,
Lubrication in the Maintenance section and Engineering Drawings near
the back of this manual.
Clutch Adjustment
16. Verify that the clutch is adjusted according to the procedure outlined
in Clutch Adjustment in the Maintenance section. Failure to do so
will result in premature clutch wear and failure.
Note: Twin Disc will not be responsible for any damage or injury
resulting from improper adjustment and/or lubrication.
This includes any accessory drives and loads.
Hand Lever Position
17. Proper hand lever position is required to obtain long service life
of the throwout bearing. See Hand Lever Position for Twin Disc
Power Take-Offs and Model SPE211 and SPE311 Arm Adjustment
Procedure in this Installation section.
Air Engagement Mechanisms
18. Air engagement mechanisms must be installed and adjusted properly
for proper clutch actuation and long service life of the PTO. No preload
on the throwout bearing can exist either in the fully-engaged or fully-
released positions, and the air mechanism must be engineered and
installed to provide proper engagement force and stroke to properly
engage and disengage the clutch. See Setting Up Air Engagement
on Twin Disc Power Take-Offs in this Installation section.
44
Installation
Prior to Installation (Ref: SAE J1033 and J617)
Refer to Identifying the SAE Housing Size in the Description
and Specifcations section of this manual.
Most Twin Disc products mount directly onto the fywheel of the engine.
Flywheel-to-driven component interference is possible due to mismatch
of components or other reasons. Therefore, engine crankshaft endplay
as well as fywheel alignment check must be made before the driven
component, the Power Take-Off, is installed.
After installation of the Power Take-Off, crankshaft end play should be
measured again. End play at the second measurement should be the
same as the frst. A difference in these two end play measurements
could be an indication of interference. Consequently, the Power Take-
Off should be removed and the source of interference found and
corrected.
Twin Disc will not be responsible for system damage caused by engine
to Twin Disc match-up regardless of the cause of interference. This
engine crankshaft end play check is considered mandatory.
Note: All measurements must be taken with the engine or
motor mounted on its supports after the fywheel and
housing have been thoroughly cleaned.
1. Measure and record the engine crankshaft or motor shaft endplay using
a dial indicator. Record this value, as it will be used later._______
45
2. Bolt the indicator to the fywheel so the indicator is perpendicular to
the fywheel housing face and the indicator stem rides on the fywheel
housing face.
Figure 7. Checking Flywheel Housing Face
3. Rotate the shaft through on entire revolution and note the runout. The
total indicator reading (T.I.R.) must not exceed:
SAE #1 Housing 0.30 mm. (0.012 in.)
Note: The fywheel and crankshaft of the engine must be held
against either the front or rear of the crankshaft thrust
bearing while the total indicator sweep (T.I.R.) is being
made.
4. Readjust the indicator so the stem rides on the pilot bore of the fywheel
housing face.

Roller-Type Pilot Bearing Installation
Some Twin Disc Power Take-Offs are designed with roller-type pilot bearings.
All of the roller-type bearings available from Twin Disc are the separate race
type, i.e. the inner race is removable from the outer race and seal assembly.
Due to its design confguration, axial alignment of the inner and outer races
is extremely important. The information and instructions below will assure
proper bearing mounting.

Refer to information regarding cleaning and inspection in the Cleaning and
Inspection section of this manual before proceeding.
1. Clean the PTO housing fange, fywheel housing fange, and pilot
bearing bore of any debris.
2. Make sure the housing fange and fywheel housing fange are free of
surface imperfections such as nicks, burrs, and sharp edges. Remove
them using fne emery cloth or crocus cloth.
3. Install a minimum of three guide studs in the fywheel housing, located
approximately 120
o
apart. Using a suitable hoist, position the PTO on
the guide studs and slide it against the fywheel housing, carefully
aligning the pilot bearing with the pilot bearing bore in the fywheel
and the teeth of the friction plates (6) with the drive ring (1).
Do not force the PTO unit onto the engine. If any resistance is noted,
repeat the clutch plate centering procedure shown either in the clutch
assembly or fnal assembly information of the Assembly section of this
manual to align and center the friction plates so they mesh properly
with the teeth of the drive ring.
4. Secure the PTO housing to the fywheel housing with 16 hex-head
capscrews. Torque the capscrew to the proper specifcations given in
Torque Values for Fasteners in the Description and Specifcations
section of this manual.
Note: PTO housing to fywheel housing attachment screws
must be grade 5 or better.
5. Rap the output end of the main shaft with a soft hammer to remove
any preload on the main bearings and/or pilot bearing.
This step must not be omitted. Bearing failure may result.
53
6. Measure the crankshaft endplay again. The measurement must be
the same value as recorded from step 1 under Prior To Installation.
Locate and correct the source of preload if the end play is not the
same value.
Engine and/or PTO failure will result from any excessive preload on
components.
7. Install the key (34) on the output end of the clutch shaft (33) and install
the drive sheave, chain sprocket, or u-joint fange as the application
requires.
Refer to the Twin Disc Power Take-Off Reference Listing in the
Description and Specifcations section, and Engineering Drawings
towards the back of this manual. If a customer-supplied PTO support
plate mounted at the output end of the PTO is to be used, refer to
information regarding the support plate in Twin Disc PTO Support
Plate Specifcations in the Description and Specifcations section of
this manual.
8. Install the hand lever assembly (53) as shown in the Hand Lever
Position for Twin Disc Power Take-Offs and, if appropriate, the
Model SPE111 and SPE211 Arm Adjustment Procedure in this
Installation section, and torque the hex head capscrew to 81 - 95 Nm
(60 - 70 lb. ft.)
Note: Models RB111, RB211 and RB11PM do not use hand
lever assemblies.
54
Installation
Hand Lever Position for Twin Disc Power Take-Offs
Normal Position: Operating Shaft Horizontal
To insure there is no preload on the shifting mechanism, the hand lever
position with the clutch engaged should be slightly past vertical position,
slightly towards engine.
The handle should NEVER be installed in a horizontal position when
the operating shaft is positioned horizontally. Improper handle position
can cause throwout collar failure resulting in catastrophic failure of
the clutch.
Vertical

Figure 15. Hand Lever Position
Special Position: Operating Shaft Vertical
If the installation requires that the operating shaft be in a vertical position,
a stop collar must be installed to prevent the weight of the hand lever,
operating shaft and throwout yoke from creating a preload on the throwout
collar. Position the hand lever as described above and also position and lock
a stop collar on the operating shaft so that the throwout yoke is centered on
the throwout collar. Contact Twin Discs Service Department for information
on use of a stop collar.

Installation
Position and Measure Alignment of the Sheave
1. Align the driveR and driveN shafts so that the faces of the sheaves
are aligned and parallel to each other. Misalignment must be LESS
THAN 1/2 of 1 degree between the faces.
2. Position the sheave (driveR sheave on the PTO shaft) so it is aligned
with the driveN sheave (on equipment being driven by the PTO).
3. Calculate MAXIMUM allowable misalignment distance of the faces:
Max. = 0.222 mm. (0.00875 in.) x distance between sheave
centerlines.
4. Place a tight cord or straight edge against both edges of the fat face
of one sheave. Measure the distance between the cord or straight
edge and the face of the other sheave. The gap is the misalignment
distance.
Align the sheaves to meet specifcations.
Misalignment between the sheaves will result in shortened service life
of the belts and may result in premature equipment failure.

Alignment - U-Joint-Type Installation
Refer to illustration on next page.
To realize the longest possible life of the power take-off bearings, the best
possible alignment must be maintained between the center line of the power
take-off shaft and the center line of the driven unit shaft.
1. It is extremely important that the forks of the drive shaft between the
PTO and the driven unit lie in the same plane. This will prevent severe
vibrations from occurring in the drive shaft.
2. The center lines of the PTO shaft and the driven unit input shaft must
be offset within the limits recommended by the u-joint manufacturer
to prolong the life of the universal joint needle bearings.
3. It is extremely important that the center lines of the pto shaft and driven
unit input shaft be parallel. This will further prevent vibrations which
cause premature pto bearing failure.
4. Proper lubrication of the pto is important for satisfactory service.
Refer to lubrication specifcations in the Maintenance section of
this manual.
Align the centerlines of the pto shaft and the input shaft of the driven
unit. (One possible method is described below.)
5. To align the engine and gear head by this method, two accurate
straight edges at least 91 cm. (36 in.) long and a tape measure are
required.
6. Place the straight edges horizontally along the face of the pto and
gear head hubs. Measure distances A and B. These two distances
should be equal within 3.17 mm. (.125 in.) at a point 45.7 cm. (18 in.)
from the centerline of the shaft. Move the engine and/or driven unit
to obtain this specifcation.
7. Rotate the shafts so the straight edges are in a vertical position.
Measure the distances C and D as was done for A and B in step 2.
These two distances should be equal within 3.17 mm. (.125 in.) at
a point 45.7 cm. (18 in.) from the centerline of the shaft. Move the
engine and/or driven unit to obtain this specifcation.
77
8. Secure the engine and driven unit. Recheck A and B, C and D as
described in steps 5 through 7 above. All measurements must be within
the specifcations. If not, repeat steps 5 through 7 until specifcations
are met.

Setting Up Air Engagement on Twin Disc Power Take Offs
1. The cylinder should be located so that the piston moves forward and
backward in exactly the same direction as the engagement lever and
is aligned so it travels in exactly the same plane.
2. The air cylinder must be of suffcient size to operate the required torque
to engage the clutch. It must have some means to make adjustment
on the piston stroke.
3. Air pressure must be constant. Low pressures could give only partial
engagement which will cause failures of the clutch and throwout
collar.
4. The piston travel must be within limits established to both fully engage
and fully disengage the clutch. Failure to provide these parameters
will cause failure and possible breakage of the clutch.
5. The engaging cylinder must not place a pressure either in the engaged
or disengaged direction after completion of its cycle. The throwout
collar must foat free after engagement or disengagement. Operating
the pto with constant pressure on the throwout collar will result in
failure.
Suggestion: A slotted connector, similar to the one illustrated
below may be used.

6. The air cylinder must be readjusted when the clutch is readjusted and
any time the travel or position moves from the specifcations described
above.
Determine the length of travel for the engaging cylinder.
7. Multiply the length of the hand lever by the value shown in the following
chart. This provides the approximate required length of the piston
stroke.
Note: The hand lever length is the distance from the center of
the operating shaft to the point where the cylinder will
be connected to the lever.

Determine the engaging force in pounds required at the cylinder.
8. Divide the force value in the chart below by the length of the hand
lever (in inches). This provides the required force (in pounds) that
must be provided by the piston.
Note: Periodically disconnect the power cylinder to measure the
clutch engagement force. Refer to Clutch Adjustment
in the Maintenance section.

General Information
Model SP111, SPE111, SP211, SPE211, SP311, RFD111 and RFD211 Series
Power Take-Offs consist of a manually engaged and disengaged disconnect
clutch mounted on an output shaft in a cast iron housing that is bolted to the
engine. Clutch engagement and disengagement is accomplished by means
of an operating lever on the outside of the pto housing, which actuates an
internal linkage mechanism.
A drive ring is bolted to the engine fywheel. Internal teeth of the drive ring
mesh with external teeth of the clutch driving plate(s). These are the input
components of the Power Take-Off. Input components always rotate at
engine rpm.
Output components of the Power Take-Off consist of a clutch hub that is
mounted on the output shaft, a linkage mechanism for clutch engagement and
disengagement and clutch adjustment components. Clutches designed with
multiple clutch driving plates have a clutch center plate located between the
friction plates. The clutch center plate and pressure plate are driven through
internal teeth that mesh with external teeth on the clutch hub. Until clutch
engagement is initiated while the engine is running, the output components
do not rotate.
Model RB111, RB211 and RB11PM Series Power Take-Offs consist of a
drive spider or torsional spring coupling mounted on an output shaft in a
cast iron housing that is bolted to the engine. A drive ring (or the torsional
spring coupling) is bolted to the engine fywheel. Internal teeth of the drive
ring mesh with external teeth of the drive spider These models are direct
drive units and contain no clutch mechanism. The drive spider (or torsional
spring coupling) and output shaft always rotate at engine speed.
82
Grease- or oil-lubricated main bearings are located in the pto housing and/or
bearing carrier. Most designs include a pilot bearing mounted in the engine
fywheel to support the front end of the clutch shaft. However, some designs
incorporate a main bearing confguration that does not require use of a pilot
bearing.
A support plate bolted to the bearing carrier of some units is required to
provide suffcient support where heavy weight and/or side loads exist.
83
Clutch Engagement Procedure
Normal clutch engagement
Do not start the engine with the nameplate removed.
The PTO clutch should normally be engaged with the engine at the lowest
rpm possible. The clutch should be engaged quickly to avoid an extended
period of slippage during engagement. The clutch should be engaged with
the engine operating below 1,000 rpm.
After the clutch is fully engaged and the load has been brought up to engine
engagement speed, the engine rpm may be increased to operating speed.
Clutch engagement where high inertia loads exist
Twin Disc, Inc. recommends that the PTO installation be designed to allow
clutch engagement at 1,000 rpm or below. Under extreme circumstances,
where high inertia loads must be picked up, the engine may have to be
operated at higher speeds while the engagement occurs, as engaging the
clutch at 1,000 rpm or below may result in stalling the engine.
Clutch engagement should occur at the lowest possible engine rpm.

Heavy inertia loads may be brought up to engine speed by a series of
short clutch engagements and disengagements (sometimes referred to as
bumping) at intervals long enough to gradually increase the speed of the
load, yet prevent excessive heat build-up in the friction facings.
After the clutch is fully engaged and the load has been brought up to engine
engagement speed, the engine rpm may be increased to operating speed.
Under no circumstances should the clutch be slipped for more than a
second or two without either fully engaging or disengaging the clutch
to permit it to cool.
84
Clutch engagement to clear a jammed driven device
Never engage the PTO to unjam a stuck load. Doing so could result in
injury to the operator, and damage to the equipment.
Always shut the engine off and disengage the clutch before clearing a jammed
load. The jam should be cleared, and the output shaft must be rotated to be
certain that the jam is completely removed before starting the engine and
engaging the PTO.
Operator should be aware of the required clutch engagement force
The clutch engagement force must be at the proper level to realize long life
of the PTO clutch. If this engagement force seems low, refer to the Clutch
Adjustment Procedure in the Maintenance section of this manual.
Insuffcient clutch engagement force can cause clutch slippage resulting
in catastrophic clutch failure.
The engagement lever must be located in the proper position to prevent
premature failures of the internal throwout collar components. The
engagement lever should be in the vertical position with the clutch engaged.
See Hand Lever Position for Twin Disc Power Take-Offs in the Installation
Improper handle position can cause throwout collar failure resulting in
catastrophic failure of the clutch.

Maintenance Tips
Tapered Roller Bearing Adjustment
1. Tapered roller bearing end play adjustment should have been
adjusted prior to installation of the power take-off. Periodically
check for excessive shaft movement during clutch engagement and
disengagement and during operation to insure failure is not occurring.
See information in the Installation section of this manual.
Pilot Bearings
2. Ball-type pilot bearings and Roller-type pilot bearings must be installed
properly. Some pilot bearings are to be greased periodically, See
Lubrication this Maintenance section.
Lubrication
3. Verify that the PTO is properly lubricated prior to starting the engine
and at all times during operation. Refer to the Twin Disc Power Take-
Off Reference Listing in the Description and Specifcations section,
Lubrication in this Maintenance section and Engineering Drawings
near the back of this manual.
Throwout bearing failures may be, among other causes, the result of
improper lubrication.
Clutch Adjustment
4. Check frequently to insure that the clutch is adjusted according to the
procedure outlined in Clutch Adjustment in this Maintenance section.
Failure to do so will result in premature clutch wear and failure.
Note: Twin Disc will not be responsible for any damage or injury
resulting from improper adjustment and/or lubrication.
This includes any accessory drives and loads.
86
Maintenance
Hand Lever Position
5. Throwout bearing failures may be, among other causes, the result of
improper hand lever position. See Hand Lever Position for Twin Disc
Power Take-Offs and Model SPE211 and SPE311 Arm Adjustment
Procedure in the Installation section of this manual.
Alignment
6. The fywheel and fywheel housing alignment should have been set
within specifcations prior to installation of the power take-off and must
be maintained for long service life of the components.
Misalignment of driven components can result in power take-off
failure. Periodically check for bolts that may have loosened or driven
components that have not been properly aligned during servicing or
maintenance procedures. See information regarding Alignment in
the Installation section of this manual.
Support Plate
7. When mounting the engine and Power Take-Off in the machine, a
customer-supplied support plate may be required to support the
output end of the PTO housing. Proper installation and alignment of
the support plate must be maintained.
Periodically check to insure that the bolts securing the support plate
are tightened to specifcations and that the support plate is properly
reinstalled and realigned whenever work is performed on the power
take-off or power package module. See the information about
customer-supplied support plates and Twin Disc Support Plate
Specifcations contained in the Description and Specifcations section
of this manual.
Failure to follow maintain this requirement may result in damage to the
power take off or the engine fywheel housing.
87
Belt or chain tension/Allowable Side Load Pulls
8. Maintain proper belt or chain tension adjustments. Avoid excessively
tight or excessively loose belts or chains. Failure to maintain proper
belt or chain adjustment can cause bearing failure and shortened
power take-off service life.
Defection Caused by Side Load Pulls
9. Maintain proper side that do not exceed specifed limits shown in
Allowable Side Load Pulls in the Installation section and PTO
Defection in the Description and Specifcations section.
Air Engagement Mechanisms
10. Air engagement mechanisms remain properly adjusted at all times.
See Setting Up Air Engagement on Twin Disc Power Take-Offs
in the Installation section.

and SP311OP Series)
Apply 1 cc of grease (one shot from a grease gun) before start-up and then
every 8-10 hours operation thereafter, through the ftting on the fange of the
bearing carrier (55).
Models SP211OP, SPE211OP and RB11PM Series
The tapered roller bearings are lubricated from oil contained in an oil cavity
in the bearing carrier. The oil level should be checked and maintained every
8-10 hours operation. Drain and refll the oil cavity every 6 months or 1000
hours (whichever occurs frst).
Models SP311OP Series
The tapered roller bearings are lubricated from engine oil continuously
supplied through an orifce ftting in the bearing carrier. The oil drains back
to sump through an opening in the bottom of the bearing carrier. No periodic
check is necessary.

every 3 months or 100 hours operation (whichever occurs frst).
Throwout Collar
All Models SP111, SP211 SP311, RFD111 and RFD211 Series
Apply 1 cc. of grease (one shot from a grease gun) daily before start-up and
then every 8-10 hours operation thereafter, through the ftting on the tapered
part of the housing.
Models SPE111, SPE211 Series
No throwout collar is used. No lubrication is necessary.
Pilot Bearing
All Models (except sealed-for-life style bearings).
The pilot bearing supplied with most power take-offs is pre-lubricated and
sealed for life. No maintenance is required. Inspection is recommended every
two years or when the power take-off is removed from the driving component
for servicing.
All Models with sealed-for-life style bearings
If the pilot bearing supplied with your power take-off is to be periodically
lubricated, add one shot of grease from a grease gun every 100 hours through
the ftting in the output end of the clutch shaft. Do Not Overgrease!!
Clutch Linkage
All Models SP111, SPE111, SP211, SPE211, SP311, RFD111 and
RFD211 Series
Lubricate the clutch linkage mechanism, cotter pins, clevis pins and levers,
with engine oil every 500 hours of operation.
Lubricate suffciently but sparingly. Excess oil can splash or drip onto
the friction plates, causing clutch slippage that may result in clutch
failure.
91
Clutch Adjustment
Note: New power take-offs must have clutch adjustment
checked before being placed into service and after the
frst 10 hours of operation. This includes any power take-
offs with new friction plates. New plates have a wear-in
period and the clutch may require several adjustments
before the new plates are worn-in.
After wear-in, clutch adjustment should be checked regularly. Heavy duty
applications (rock crushers, etc.) which have frequent engagement, numerous
engagements in an operating day or relatively long periods of slip (large
inertias), require more frequent readjustment than light duty applications.
Adjust the clutch BEFORE it overheats, does not pull (slips), or the operating
lever jumps from the engaged position. These symptoms are indications that
clutch adjustment is required.
Adjustment Measurements:
Adjustment measurements are made by ftting a torque wrench with a 1-1/2
socket over the hex end located at the bottom of the hand lever. Grasp only
the torque wrench when making measurements.
1. If equipped with a power engagement device, disconnect it from the
operating shaft before taking measurements.
2. Adjustment measurements are made with the engine operating at
normal clutch engagement speed (below 1000 rpm). Adjustment
measurement must be made before the clutch heats up from operating
(frst engagement of the day). Multiple engagements will heat up the
friction plates and cause them to expand. Success engagements
within a short period of time will have higher torque values unless the
friction plates are wearing more than they are expanding (high inertia
engagement).
92
Maintenance
To adjust the clutch:
Engine must be stopped (not rotating) before removing the instruction
cover plate (45) to access the clutch adjustment. Contact with rotating
parts can cause injury.
Refer to the exploded views in the Illustrations Section of this Service
Manual.
1. Clutch must be in the released position before adjusting the clutch.
2. Remove the instruction cover plate (45) from the housing (44) and turn
the clutch shaft until the adjusting ring lock pin (25) can be reached.
3. Disengage the adjusting lock pin and insert a cotter pin or small nail
into the hole provided to hold it in the disengaged position.

4. Turn the adjusting yoke (26) to the right (or clockwise when looking
at the fywheel) until the required peak torque at the operating shaft
(55) to engage the clutch is between the limits on the instruction cover
plate (45). If it is near the minimum torque, adjust one more notch so it
will be approaching the maximum torque value. Do not exceed upper
limit. Refer to the Description and Specifcations Engagement force
on the operating shaft section of this manual for the correct peak
torque.
TIP: If the adjusting nut is hard to turn, loosen the threads by radial rap ping
the adjusting nut with the handle end of the hand lever about every
one-sixth of a revolution of the clutch if it has three levers (quarter of
a revolution of the clutch if it has four levers) to loosen up the threads.
Be careful not to mushroom over the adjustment slots. If the threads
are severely rusted, carefully apply penetrating oil to the threads before
rapping the adjusting nut.
5. Remove the cotter pin or small nail. Re-engage the adjusting lock
pin.
6. Repeat steps 3 thru 5 above as necessary until the proper torque
reading is obtained. Replace the instruction cover plate and secure
with two hex-head cap screws (46). Securely tighten.
7. Recheck engaging torque per above Adjustment Measurements step
2. Torque measurements with the engine off will usually be a few lb-ft
higher.
93
Friction Plate Replacement
Refer to the exploded views in the illustrations section of this manual.
Common symptoms indicating that the friction plates (6) are worn out are:
1. The adjusting yoke (26) cannot be turned clockwise any further.
2. The friction face surfaces have worn fush with the rivet heads, or the
rivets are loose.
It is necessary to remove and disassemble the clutch assembly to replace
the friction plates. Refer to instructions in the Disassembly and Assembly
sections of this manual.
Split-type friction plates are not recommended for use in SP311 Series
power take-offs.

All SP111, SPE111, SP211, SPE211, SPE211, SP311, RFD111,
RFD211, RB111 and RB211 Series:
The only approved method for feld adjustment of tapered roller bearings (39,
40, 41, 42) in Twin Disc Power Take-Off units is by the use of a dial indicator
to read actual bearing end play.
SP311IL and RB11PM Series:
There is no adjustment of ball-type bearings.
Adjustment:
Refer to the procedure in (Final Setting) Measure and Set Bearing End
Play as described for your bearing housing confguration in the Assembly

All SP111, SPE111, SP211, SPE211, SPE211, SP311, RFD111,
RFD211, RB111 and RB211 Series:
The only approved method for feld adjustment of tapered roller bearings (39,
40, 41, 42) in Twin Disc Power Take-Off units is by the use of a dial indicator
to read actual bearing end play.
1. Field experience for tapered roller bearings used with in-line drive
installations indicates that extra care must be taken when adjusting
the power take-off tapered roller bearings.
2. The end play settings for these in-line applications may be different
than for the side load applications.
3. Bearing end play for these special applications must be adjusted
by using the method described for side-loaded applications on
the previous pages. However, the amount of end play must be set
according to the specifcations shown in Bearing End Play setting
for Tapered Roller Bearings used with In-Line applications in the
Description and Specifcations section.
Note: SP111, SPE111 and RFD111 Series only: The tapered
roller bearing end play requirement is the same for both
side-load and in-line applications.
Note: SP311IL and RB11PM Series: There is no adjustment
of ball-type bearings.

Twin Disc, Incorporated Cleaning and Inspection
Cleaning and Inspection
Refer to the BOM, the exploded views in the Illustrations section and
Engineering Drawings near the back of this manual.
Bearings
1. Thoroughly wash bearings in clean solvent if they have been in service.
Soak bearings in solvent if they are particularly dirty.
Never dry bearing with compressed air. Do not spin bearings while they
are not lubricated. Oil bearings with SAE 10 engine oil immediately after
cleaning. Be sure bearings are oiled before inspection. Protect clean
bearings, whether they are new or have been in service, from dirt, dust,
grit or any other contaminant.
2. Inspect bearings for roughness of rotation. Replace the bearing if
roughness is found.
3. Inspect bearings for corrosion, scored, scratched, cracked, pitted or
chipped races, and for indication of excessive wear of balls or rollers.
If one of the these defects is found, replace the bearing.
Preventing Entrance of Dirt Into Bearings
4. Dirt and grit in bearings are often responsible for bearing failure.
Consequently, it is important to keep bearings clean. Do not remove
grease from new bearings. Keep the wrapper on new bearings until
immediately before they are to be installed. Do not expose new clean
bearings until they are ready to be used in the assembly. Keep them
wrapped in clean lint-free cloth or paper to keep out dust and debris.
Protect bearings from contamination even after they are installed on
the shaft or in the bore.

Housings, Cast Parts and Machined Surfaces
5. Replace cast parts or housings that are cracked.
6. Inspect bearing bores for grooved, burred or galled conditions that
would indicate that the bearing has been turning in its housing. If the
damage cannot be repaired to like-new condition with a crocus cloth,
replace the part. Bore diameters must not exceed the maximum
dimension shown in Wear Limits in the Description and Specifcations

Typical Bearing Carrier or Housing bore area
Closely check bearing

Figure 33. Inspect the bores, threads and faces
7. Inspect bores for wear, grooves, scratches and dirt. Remove burrs
and scratches with crocus cloth or a soft stone. Replace parts that
are deeply grooved or scratched.
8. Inspect oil and grease passages for obstructions. If an obstruction is
found, remove it with compressed air or by working a wire or wire brush
back and forth through the passage and fushing it with solvent.

matter. If such defects cannot be removed with crocus cloth or a soft
stone, replace the part.
10. Inspect bearing journals on the shaft for grooved, burred or galled
conditions that would indicate that the bearing has been turning on
the shaft. If the damage cannot be repaired to like-new condition with
a crocus cloth, replace the part. Bearing journal diameters must not
be less than the dimensions shown in Wear Limits in the Description
and Specifcations section of this manual.
11. Inspect the pilot bearing journal on the clutch shaft. If it is worn in any
