All my slip clutchs are treated as you described, (loosen springs, slip the clutch, reajust the spring tension) and i do it only "once a year", in the spring, at first use. I've yet to see a problem in the over 20 years i've been doing it.
I can't remember what owners manual i read it in, but this is exactly the way they described to do it.
One more note, if you slip it in use a few times, it's a good idea to reajust the clutch, because the clutch plates are getting thinner each time it's slipped.

To Bill,
Get an owners manual with exploded parts view, as i have the model just before your HR20, and it has a thin fiber washer in with the clutch that is easy to loose (or miss) if you don't know it's in there. Maybe the HR20 doesn't have it????
Better to be safe than sorry!

The picture is of a tree farm i spent the day rotavateing at last friday. The trees are a Hibred variety of Cherry Trees, that will mature into "veneer logs" in 25 years!!
