Manual Release Adjustment
CAUTION: Load to be removed or blocked. Brake will be
inoperative during this procedure.
The manual release (3) may require adjustment after
replacing the operator assembly 15), magnet (15A0, or
armature (15J). It also may be required if adjustments are
made on the pivot stud nuts (19).
The release is working properly if:
a) you turn release knob (3) clockwise to stop and the
brake is released;
b) the release knob returns to its normal position
automatically when power is applied to the magnet.
NOTE: Cover (20) must be removed to make this adjustment.
1. To adjust: Set air gap “A” as described under “Wear
Adjustment” on page 4.
2. If the brake does not release, turn adjusting screw
(5) counterclockwise 1/4 turn and try again.
3. If the release knob (3) does not return to its normal
position automatically, turn screw (5) clockwise 1/4
turn and try again.
NOTE: You may have to repeat Steps 2 or 3 to get
the release to operate properly.
It is important that the release knob returns to its
normal position automatically when power is applied
to the magnet.
