If you find a ops manual on a mower equipped with one it will tell you to always backoff the tension block the blades so they cant turn and slip it till you just see a bit of smoke,, 3-10 seconds normally does it depending on how tight you leave the adjustment,, then tighten adjusting nuts Evenly and test run for 3 min or so cutting,, if the hub is Hot or warm from slipping tighten each nut 1/4 turn until it quits heating,, this will give you "slip" with out smoking the disc's this needs to be done at least once a season if you have a lot of rain when it sits it may be needed more often,, I ran a 10' Bush Hog brand mower for years at the local ZCounty cutting 1500 miles of road ditches a year,, in all that time I broke one gear box output shaft,, and that was right out of the box using the mower int he spring after another guy had ran it the year before and he had tightened the clutch solid,, I never even hit anything before it broke you could see it was 3/4 broken when parked,, all it took to save gearbox parts was to do this simple adjustment/maintenance and all was good,,
