Brake

At the end of pulling, the differential brake automatically engages. Brake is factory set to
brake force, which is 25% greater than the nominal towing force of the winch. By wear of
the brake pad, the brake force changes, therefore it has to be set again. This is needed,
when the brake does not hold the load as described in the beginning of this paragraph.
Set the brake force by loosening or tightening the screw (pos. 2, fig. 11) and loosen the
safety nut (pos. 3, fig. 11) beforehand. When tightening the screw (pos. 2, fig. 11), the
brake force decreases, and when loosening the screw, the brake force increases. After
finishing setting tighten the safety nut (pos. 3, fig. 11). Correctly set band brake in the on
position disables the load to slide backwards, and in the off position, it enables smooth
pulling of the rope from the winch.
