4. Place steel brake disc on flat surface and check for distor-
tion with a straight edge. Check surface for signs of mate-
rial transfer or heat. Replace steel disc if splines are worn
to a point, disc is distorted or heat discolored.
5. Check brake spring free length; minimum free length is
1-3/16 inch (30.2 mm). Check springs for any sign of
cracking or failure. If a brake spring must be replaced for
any reason, then ALL brake springs must be replaced.
ASSEMBLY
1. Begin assembly by placing motor support on workbench
with motor mounting surface down. Install new O-ring
and backup ring as shown.
2. Insert first a steel brake disc followed by a friction brake
disc. Then alternate steel and friction discs until seven
friction discs and eight steel discs have been installed.
3. Finish with a steel brake disc on top.
NOTE:
It is a good practice to pre-lubricate the discs in
hydraulic oil prior to assembly.
4. Install the remaining brake spacer on top of the last steel
brake disc. (This is the only spacer used with lobed discs.)
CAUTION
!
!
Failure to replace brake springs as a set may result in un-
even brake application pressure and repeated brake spring
failure.
