Run the hoist DOWN approximately two feet so that the secondary brake is engaged and then tighten
the locknut to 70 Inch/pounds with a Torque wrench. Run the hoist down and check for noise.
If there is still noise, tighten the nut 1/8 of a turn and then run the hoist down again. Repeat until
the noise has ceased.
Do not tighten the nut to where there is no more adjustment available.
CHECKING BRAKE PAD WEAR
The brake pads should be checked for wear on a routine basis. The pads may wear unevenly so
both sides need to be checked. Measure the distance between the brake disc and the ratchet wheel
(both sides). The distance (space) should be greater than .065”. If .065” or less the brake pads need
replacement at the factory.
