Adjusting Brake without Previous References
Begin by adjusting the motor brake by following the procedures as described in
Brake Adjustment, then proceed as follows.
1. Loosen the three hex head screws (14).
2. Turn the outer air gap adjustment ring (12) counterclockwise about one turn.
3. Tighten the three hex head screws (14) equally in small increments.
4. Continue tightening the three hex head screws (14) until the outer bearing
surface (9) comes in contact with the inner side of the outer air gap adjustment
ring (12). The air gap clearance at this point should be zero.
5. Increase the air gap by turning the outer air gap adjustment ring (12) clockwise
in small 1/8 - 1/4 turn increments until the hoist works properly.
6. Once the hoist operates correctly, turn outer air gap adjustment ring (12)
another 1/8 turn.
