4.5. SETTING THE WIRE ROPE RELEASE POWER (Figure: 8)
The wire rope release power must be set correctly, so the drum stops immediately after
releasing the wire rope. This prevents the wire rope on the drum from releasing by itself.
Set the wire rope release power using the wing nut
41
By screwing or unscrewing the wing nut
41
, the wire rope release power increases or
decreases.
4.6. SETTING THE WINCH BRAKE POWER (Figure: 8)
The brake band is factory set to the brake power which is 25 % higher than the nominal
pulling power of the winch. The brake power changes due to the wear of the brake band lining
and has to be readjusted periodically. Properly adjusted brake band prevents the load from
sliding backwards when in the »
ON
« position and allows pulling the wire rope out of the winch,
when the brake handle is in the »
OFF
« - »
permanent brake release
« position.
Set the brake power by screwing or unscrewing the drawn cup
42
, to reach the distance
L.
(
Distance »L« is only an orientation point for approximate setting of brake power.
Exact setting can only be achieved by using a measuring instrument).
By screwing the drawn cup
42
from its starting position, you increase the brake power, and
vice versa.
Using spanner No 19 screw the counter nut
43
to prevent unscrewing of the drawn cup
42.
