  • Page 26 2.0 Service Straight Edge Abnormal Wear Normal Wear (Replace) Figure 2.7 Voltage in the system should begin at 0 volts. As the controller bar is slowly actuated, the voltage should grad- ually increases to about 12 volts. This is referred to as modulation. No modulation means that when the con- troller begins to apply voltage to brakes it applies an immediate high voltage, which causes the brakes to apply instantaneous maximum power.
  • Page 27 2.0 Service Brake Drum Inspection: There are two areas of the brake drum that are subject to wear and require inspection. These two areas are the drum surface where the brake shoes make contact during stopping and the armature surface where the magnet contacts (only in electric brakes).
  • Page 28 2.0 Service Grease the conveyor/auger bearings. Use only two pumps of grease per bearing. NOTE: Over lubrication of these bearings will result in premature failure. NOTE: The conveyor has four bearing that need greased (two at each end). Grease pivot points on boom arm and jack crank before storage. The wheel bearings need to be cleaned, inspected, repacked, and adjusted.
