Assembly of the brake winch:
The tower is in the lowered position to assemble the brake winch.
►
Remove the single brake pulley at the tower top so that the
cable can exit.
►
Thread the operating cable into the tower. The cable end with the
fitted eye is connected to the turbine brake lever using the supplied
shackle. Retrieve the cable at the top of the tower from the exit slot.
►
Refit the pulley wheel at the top of the tower
►
Connect the brake cable to the
brake fork using the shackle
provided. Tighten to 6Nm and lock
by the preferred method.
Either apply a little Locktite to the
shackle pin or use a small piece of
stainless wire to secure the shackle
pin after fitting.
Do not wind excess brake cable on to the cable drum. A tensioned
brake cable can cause excessive cable to become trapped between
the cable coils that prevents the brake mechanism to release. Only four
or five cable coils turns must wrap around the drum when the brake is
operated.
►
Cut off any excess cable. Only four or five
turns of cable should wind on to the winch
when it is in the installed position.
Fit the brake operating cable to the winch
and secure using the provided Crosby clamp.
