2. To replace the solenoid coil, disconnect

lead wire terminal screws (139S), lock
washers (139W) and lead wires (139).

3. Insert a screwdriver between support

plate (126) and top of lever arm (17).
With screwdriver wedge apart; remove
bearing pin (26) and solenoid lever (8)
with solenoid link (13) and plunger
(29). It is not necessary to separate
the solenoid lever, solenoid link and
plunger.

4. Remove plunger guide screw(s) (84).

Remove both plunger guides (82) by
prying up on the flanges. Discard
plunger guides.

5. Slide coil (12A) sideways from

solenoid frame (79). If necessary, tap
coil lightly with soft hammer. If coil had
burned out, be sure to remove all
foreign material from the solenoid
plunger (29) and solenoid frame (79).

6. Install new coil (12A) into solenoid

frame with same relative position as
old coil. Assemble new plunger guides
(82) and plunger guide screws(s) (84).

7. Low Voltage: 

Jumper leadwire 3 to terminal 1
Jumper leadwire 4 to terminal 2
Incoming power to terminals 1 & 2

8. High Voltage:

Jumper leadwires 3 & 4 together
Incoming power to terminals 1 & 2 

9. Be sure to check the following when 

installing lead wires:
1) Must not be tight or pinched.
2) 

Must not make contact with 
friction disc.

3)

Must not be trapped between 
solenoid plunger and frame.

10. Manually lift solenoid plunger to

maximum travel. Depress and allow
solenoid plunger to snap out several
times. Measure solenoid air gap
between mating surfaces of solenoid
frame and solenoid plunger. (On
vertically mounted brakes, it will be
necessary to push solenoid plunger
into solenoid frame to the point where
spring pressure is felt, before
measuring solenoid air gap.)

If solenoid air gap exceeds 11/16”, 
adjustment is necessary.

The solenoid air gap measurements 
are shown in Table in next column.

11. The solenoid air gap may be

decreased by turning both wear
adjustment screws (10) equal amounts
clockwise, approximately 1/8 turn, until
appropriate solenoid gap is attained. 
To increase gap, turn screws
counterclockwise.

12. Reconnect coil leads.

13. Orient housing so that manual release

knob is approximately 20°
counterclockwise from vertical
centerline. Slide housing over
endplate register and rotate clockwise
to align bolt holes. Replace hardware
in reverse order of Step 1.

14. 

Caution 1!

Do not run motor with

brake in manual release position. It is
intended only for emergency manual
movement of the driven load, not as a
substitute for full electrical release.

Caution 2!

Class H coils with 

terminals. Do not bend lead wire 
crimp connection as this causes 
fatigue in the metal which may break 
under vibration.

NOTE: For complete instructions,
