Adjusting the locking brake
Generally speaking the locking brake requires no
adjustment as the spindel adjustment range is
sufficient.
When the adjustment range is insufficient.
- loosen rope clamps (4 clamps) at the ends of the
brake ropes
- re-adjust length of brake ropes until enough
adjustment range is available again
- re-tighten rope clamps (4 clamps) at the ends of
the brake ropes.
Cleaning the line filters
Both line filters are to be cleaned depending on operating
conditions, normally about every - 4 months. The sinter
filter cartridges are to be removed to be cleaned.
Procedure:
a) Depress locking tappet (21) on both brackets and
remove slider (22).
b) Remove locking tappet with O-ring (2), compression
spring and sinter filter cartridge.
c) Wash sinter filter cartridge with nitro cleaning agent
and blast clean with compressed air. Damaged filter
cartridges are to be replaced.
d) Reassembly is in reverse order, but ensure that O-ring
does not jam guiding slots of slider!
