TEST FOR PROPER 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 (hoisting 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 (cable
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 for-
ward rotation (hoisting direction), the brake should be again disassembled. When disassembled, confirm that the balls are in
slot #2 of cam, then carefully follow the instructions for re-assembling and checking the brake.
