Unpacking and cleanup
1. Remove all contents from shipping crate and
compare to the contents list in this manual. If
shipping damage or any part shortages are
identified, contact your distributor. Do not
discard packing material until brake is
assembled and operating satisfactorily.
2. Carefully clean all rust protected surfaces with
a mild solvent or kerosene and a soft rag. Do
not use lacquer thinner, paint thinner, or
gasoline – these will damage painted surfaces.
3. Coat all machined surfaces with a light coat of
oil to inhibit rust.
5.4
Assembly
Refer to exploded view if additional clarification is
needed for assembly.
1. Remove bolts holding support legs and brake to
pallet.
2. Locate brake in a dry, well-lighted area with a
sturdy, level floor. Machine location must allow
room for loading and offloading stock, and
access on all sides for maintenance.
3. Use hoist or forklift to carefully lift brake onto
support legs. Secure with M12 bolts, washers
and nuts (HP1/HP4/HP6/HP8).
Do not allow anyone
beneath brake while moving it into position
and until it is secured on support legs.
4. Verify that brake is level; use shims if
necessary. Secure support legs to floor with
appropriate fasteners, such as lag bolts (not
provided).
5. Install counterweight assemblies to left and
right hinges with M12 bolts, lock washers and
flat washers (HP1/HP4/HP6). See Figure 3.
