WARNING:
When releasing the wire rope, pull the string lightly to prevent brake handle from
blocking in the “permanent brake release” position, otherwise the drum may uncoil

If the wire rope on the drum gets loose, the outer coils of the wire rope get under the inner
coils at the repeated pulling, and the wire rope gets damaged quickly.
