RE-ASSEMBLING AND CHECKING THE HOLDING BRAKE
1. Press brake hub into place over worm shaft and key.
2. Assemble balls in appropriate slots of cam. See name and data tag for brake ball slot
position. Use stiff grease to hold balls into place and slide cam over end of worm. Be
sure that balls are secure, between cam slots and hub slots. Install brake disc.
3. Install retainer plate, smooth side toward brake disc.
4. Install the gasket on the cover with a small amount of grease or sealer.
5. The coil spring goes over the adjusting screw on the inside of the cover.
6. Install the notches of the leaf spring on the pins protruding through the cover.
The hollow side of the leaf spring goes toward the brake.
7. Install brake housing cover, making sure the protruding pins go through the leaf spring
and into the holes in the retainer plate.
8. Bolt cover into place with the mounting screws. Install drain plug and add 1,8 liters
(3-3/4 pints) of all purpose E.P. 140 oil.
9. Turn winch in the hoisting direction at least one turn of the input shaft.
10. Turn the adjusting screw in until it is finger tight.
TEST FOR PROPER HOLDING BRAKE ASSEMBLY
After the brake has been adjusted to the proper torque setting, disengage clutch. Start
vehicle engine and run winch in the reel in (pulling direction). Allow winch to run in this
direction for one minute.
Place your hand on the safety brake housing. If housing is not hot to the touch then run
winch in the reverse direction (rope out) for one minute. Brake housing should begin to
heat.
When these conditions exist, proper installation has been made. If heating becomes
noticeable when running the winch in forward rotation (pulling direction), the brake should
be again disassembled. When disassembled, place the brake balls in the alternate set of
slots in the cam plates, then carefully follow the instructions for re-assembling and
checking the brake.
