Winget Crocker RP1500XD, Parts & Operation Manual

Page: 32 / 122

Mounting:
Set the brake so that the horizontal centre-line of the shoe corresponds
with the centre-line of the brake wheel shaft and the shoe pivots are
equally spaced from the vertical centre-line.
Installing:
Slacken back equalising screw (Item 14) Slack nut (Item 5) and adjust
screw (Item 3) to give required braking torque.
WARNING:
The end of the adjusting screw (Item 3) must always be visible in the hole at the end
of the adjusting nut (Item 6).
Set nuts (Item 5) so that contact is made with the load spring block in the shoe lever
when solenoid plunger has moved through half its stoke. Once properly set, this
setting should not be altered. With solenoid plunger right down, set equalising screw
(Item 14) to give equal friction lining clearances.
Tighten locknuts (Item 5 & Item 14) and be sure that the load spring bracket is in
place.
Check adjustments frequently and lubricate brake shoe pivots. To adjust for ware,
screw in adjusting screw (Item 3) until the adjusting nuts are clear and only touch
lever (Item 1) when plunger is depressed through half its stroke.
When new linings are fitted, repeat all adjustments.
Orders and enquiries should always state full description of parts required. The serial
number on the brake should always be quoted.
ANNUALLY:
Worm Reduction Gear Unit (Flender):

frequently. (Approx capacities – 10 Imperial Pints: 5.7 Litres: 1.6 American Gallons).
NOTE
Electrical cables particularly those with copper conductors suffer from a
condition known as ‘relaxation’ which may cause wiring to work loose over a
period of time, it is recommended that the tightness of wiring connections and
terminals are checked following the first month in service.
