4.7 Mechanical Brake Assembly (e400nb only)
The Kestrel e400nb is fitted with a mechanical band brake. This brake

with the turbine. A “T” bar is also included that is inserted into the tower
to operate the winch.
The brake mechanism is a factory fitted assembly and is operated by
one singular drop cable. No adjustment is required to the brake
mechanism on the generator assembly.
