FOREWORD Read this entire publication and retain it for future reference. The minimum service intervals specified are for operating hours of the prime mover. The following service instructions have been prepared to provide assembly, disassembly and maintenance infor- mation for the Braden Model H20R. It is suggested that before doing any work on this unit, all assembly and dis- assembly instructions should be read and understood.
GENERAL SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS Safety and informational callouts used in this manual include: CAUTION WARNING – This emblem is used to warn against CAUTION – This emblem is used to warn against hazards and unsafe practice which COULD result in potential or unsafe practices which COULD result in severe personal injury or death if proper procedures personal injury and product or property damage if are not followed.
THEORY OF OPERATION DESCRIPTION OF WINCH The static brake system has three operating compo- nents: The winch has four basic component parts: 1. Spring Applied, Multiple Friction Disc Static Brake 1. Winch base 2. Brake Clutch Assembly 2. Hydraulic motor and brake valve 3.

The static brake is released by the brake valve pilot Static Friction Brake Applied Figure 5 pressure at a pressure lower than that required to open the pilot operated spool valve. This sequence assures Sprag that dynamic braking takes place in the brake valve and Cams that little, if any, heat is absorbed by the friction brake.
WINCH INSTALLATION First sheave or load 17° 17° 5. The winch must be mounted perpendicular to an imaginary line from the center of the winch to the first sheave to ensure even spooling. Make certain the fleet angle is between ½ and 1 ½ degrees. WINCH ASSEMBLY W/BRAKE VALVE &...
WIRE ROPE INSTALLATION Prepare the end of the wire rope as recommended by the wire rope manufacturer. Insert the free end of the wire rope through the opening in the drum flange. Push the wire rope into the anchor pocket until the end of the The set screw wire rope anchor system is not capa- wire rope is even with the outer edge of the pocket.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE A regular program of preventive maintenance for your Inspections procedures for hoists are divided into five planetary hoist is strongly recommended to minimize general categories based upon the hoist usage or duty the need for emergency servicing and promote safe, cycle, which in turn determines different, appropriate reliable hoist operation.

TROUBLESHOOTING If a hoist ever exhibits any sign of erratic operation, or load control difficulties (load creeping down or chatter- ing) appropriate troubleshooting tests and repairs must be performed immediately. Continued operation of a hoist with a defect may result in property damage, injury or death. REMEDY TROUBLE PROBABLE CAUSE...

Inspect springs and measure the clearance in three places, between for any sign of cracking or fatigue failure.

BRAKE CYLINDER PRESSURE TEST Always use the molded spring spacer. The brake springs must be properly positioned by the spring spacer. Failure to install the spring spacer may allow the springs to contact each other and become dam- aged. This could result in loss of load control, prop- erty damage, injury or death.

Measure the distance from the motor mounting surface to the inner brake race. With all components properly installed, this distance should be 11/16 in. (17.5 mm) to 3/4 in. (19.1 mm). If this distance is less than 9/16 in. (14.3 mm), the primary spacer may be positioned as shown below and should be checked.
