The brake assemblv contains
a
spring
which is partially compressed and
exerting 200 Ibs. pressure. Use tool
to
dismantle brake. Because of this
spring, CAUTION MUST BE TAKEN
when disassembling the units.
Use tool to dismantle brake, to hold
brake package spring prior to disman-
tling the brake package. Remove
screws holding brake package together
then slowly loosen the compression tool
until the spring tension is completely
released. Brake components are now
accessible for service. Reassemble by
reversing the procedure.
When reassembling the brake,fill the
rubber dust cap which fits over the end
of the drive pulley with transmission oil.
Then pour the oil over the lip of the
brake package and replace the dust
cap. Use two capfuls.
To Replace Brake Package:
1. Place radial bearing in top of brake
package.
2. Insert brake package over drive tube
splines.
3. Start threads of brake package into
damper turning it by hand.
4. Be sure that tub block is in place
keeping tubs level so as to prevent
binding on brake package threads.
5. When turning brake package into the
damper, allow power unit to turn so
that you do not have to overcome
the friction of the brake.
6. When threaded tight, use the brake
tool and hammer to seat brake
package firmly in place.
7. Locate retaining clip and tighten
damper bolt securely into damper.
Note: Once the brake has been
reinstalled, turn the pulley on the shaft
until the brake is disengaged. With the
brake disengaged, the oil will run into
the brake package. Turn the pulley
several times to insure proper lubri-
cation.
To Service the Brake without Removing
it from the Washer:
1. Remove drive pulley.
2. Replace every other brake drum
retainer screw (total of eight) with a
1 1/2" long 8-32 machine screw.
Snug these screws up against brake
drum.
3. Remove the four remaining brake
drum screws and then alternately
loosen the four long machine screws
