4.13 Braking System

The braking system of the trowel is spring loaded. The brake is engaged anytime the input shaft
of the gearbox is not rotating and/or there is no resistance placed against the blades of the
trowel. The brake is released when the input shaft is rotated and is shifted out from its seated
position. This is accomplished when the gear on this shaft rotates, working against the output
shaft gear, forcing the shaft out. If there is no or low resistance against the blades, the brake
may not release as it is the resistance against the blades that allows the brake to release. If the
machine is suspended or on a highly polished, slippery surface, the brake will not release and
could cause belt slippage.
