RE-ASSEMBLING AND CHECKING THE
BRAKE
1. Press brake hub into place over worm
shaft and key.
2. Assemble balls in #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. 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. Tighten capscrews to 7-8 ft-lbs.
(9-10 Nm) torque.
8. Bolt cover into place with the mounting
screws. Install drain plug and add 1 pint
of S.A.E. 140 EP oil.
9. Turn winch in the reel in direction at least
one turn of the input shaft.
10.Turn the adjusting screw in until it is fin-
ger tight.
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 installa-
tion has been made. If heating becomes
noticeable when running the winch in for-
ward rotation (hoisting direction), the brake
should be again disassembled. When disas-
sembled, place the brake balls in the alter-
nate set of slots in the cam plates, then
carefully follow the instructions for re-
assembling and checking the brake.
