BRAKE CYLINDER PRESSURE TEST
1. Install the –4 JIC fitting into the brake-release port. Con-
nect a hand pump with an accurate 0-2,000 PSI (0-13,800
kPa) gauge and shut-off valve to this fitting. Apply 1,000
PSI (6,900 kPa) to the brake. Close shut-off valve and let
stand for five minutes. If there is any loss of pressure in
five minutes, the brake cylinder should be disassembled
for inspection of the sealing surfaces and brake piston.
2. WHILE PRESSURE IS APPLIED AND THE BRAKE RE-
LEASED, install the brake clutch assembly in the brake
pack, short end of the inner race toward motor. Turn the
clutch back and forth as you align the outer race splines
with the brake disc splines.
3. Release the pressure on the brake cylinder then remove
the brake clutch assembly. The brake cylinder assembly is
now complete and ready to be installed in the hoist.
