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 SAE 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
finger 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 hous-
ing. 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 instal-
lation 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, place the brake balls
in the alternate set of slots in the cam
plates, then carefully follow the instruc-
tions for re-assembling and checking the
brake.
