7.7 Drum Brake Adjustment
7.7.1 Winch Drum Brake Operation
The winch brake stops the drum from turning when
there is no tension on the cable and the drum lock is
not engaged. The brake must be set to hold the drum
from freewheeling when the cable is not being pulled
out to avoid tangling the cable.
As the cable is spooled off the drum, it is routed
over the top of the brake assembly arm. The force
of spooling the cable off the drum, moves the arm to
release the brake. When the cable is no longer being
spooled on, the spring pulls the arm back and engages
the brake. The brake must be set to stop the drum from
freewheeling when the cable is not being pulled out to
avoid tangling the cable.
Remove lower protective shield from the front side of
the winch to access brake adjustment.
