  10. Scale and record the weight "Z" of a flat board which will be put on retaining plate.
    NOTE:
    • Use a stiff board which does not bend against load as a flat board to be put on retaining plate.

  12. Using the following formula, read the push/pull gauge, and calculate "N".

    N = 83 N (8.5 kgf, 18.7 lb) - Z

    N: Value indicated on push/pull gauge

    83 N (8.5 kgf, 18.7 lb): Load applied to clutch plate

    Z: Flat board weight

  13. Press the center of retaining plate by applying a force of N using push/pull gauge, and then measure and record the height A. Measure at three locations or more spaced by equal distances and take the average value.
    NOTE: If measuring in three locations, measure every 120°. If measuring in four locations, measure every 90°.
