RE-ASSEMBLING AND CHECKING THE BRAKE

1. Press brake hub into place over worm shaft and key.
2. Assemble balls into #1 slots of cam. 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.

3. Install brake disc.
4. Install retainer plate, smooth side toward brake disc.
5. Install the gasket on the cover with a small amount of grease or sealer
6. The coil spring goes over the adjusting screw on the inside of the cover.
7. 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.

8. Install brake housing cover, making sure the protruding pins go through

the leaf spring and into the holes on the retainer plate. Tighten capscrews
to 7-8 ft-lbs.

TEST FOR PROPER BRAKE ASSEMBLY

After the brake has been adjusted to the proper torque setting (See page 11),
disengage clutch. Start vehicle engine and run winch in the reel in direction.
Allow winch to run in this direction for one minute.
Place your hand on the 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 forward rotation (reel in direc-
tion) the brake should be disassembled. When disassembled, place the brake
balls in the alternate set of slots in the cam plate, then carefully follow the in-
structions for reassembling and checking the brake.
