(0-137.9 bar) gauge. Apply 1,000 PSI (68.9 bar) to the
brake cylinder port. Close the shut-off valve and let
stand for five minutes. If there is any loss of pressure
in five minutes, disassemble the brake and inspect the
sealing surfaces and seals for damage.
2. Use the brake coupling to align the friction disc teeth be-
fore releasing port pressure. The teeth must be aligned
before the winch can be fully assembled.
