- Gap Inspection
(1) Remove the brake release bolt [5] and the manual release prevention spacer [4].
(2) Remove the cover [14].
(3) Remove the shaft-retaining C-ring [15], and remove the fan [16].
(4) Remove the brake release [2] (2 locations) and remove the waterproof seal [23].
(5) Insert a gap gauge between the stationary core [1] and the armature plate [18]
and measure the gap. Measure in 3 locations around the circumference.
(6) Adjustment is required if the gap value is near the limit.
- Gap Adjustment
(1) Remove the brake release bolt [5] and the manual release prevention spacer [4].
(2) Remove the cover [14].
(3) Remove the shaft-retaining C-ring [15], and remove the fan [16].
(4) Pull off the V-ring [24].
(5) Remove the brake release [2] (2 locations) and remove the waterproof seal [23].
(6) Remove the waterproof cover attachment bolts [25], and remove the waterproof cover [26].
(7) Insert a gap gauge between the stationary core [1] and the armature plate [18] and rotate to the right the gap adjusting nuts [9] that
are attached to ends of the stud bolts [6]. If large adjustments to the gap are not possible, decrease the number of adjusting washers
[7]. There are 3 gap adjusting nuts [9]. Adjust these in turn so that 3 positions on the circumference are uniformly at the required gap.
(8) Attach the waterproof cover [26] by using the attachment bolts [25]. At this time, align the cutout area on the side of the waterproof
cover [26] with the brake release bolt [5]. Attach the waterproof cover [26] so that the gap (A) between its hole and the motor shaft
[22] is nearly the same.
(9) Clean the surface of the waterproof seal [23] to remove impurities.
(10) As shown in the construction diagram, install the waterproof seal [23] between the stationary core [1] and the wa-
terproof cover [26]. Then attach the brake release [2]. At this time, align the hole in the waterproof seal [23] for the
release bolt with the position of release bolt [5]. Then attach the brake release along the machined surfaces around
the stationary core [1]. (Be careful that the waterproof seal [23] does not meander. Otherwise water could leak in.)
(11) Turn the power on and off to check brake action.
(12) Attach the V-ring [24]. Wipe off the lip and surface near the lip of the V-ring [24], lightly coat the lip surface with
grease, and attach. Observe the attaching dimension (B = 6mm).
(13) Attach the fan [16], shaft-retaining C-ring [15] and cover [14].
(14) Finally, attach the brake release bolt [5] and the manual release prevention spacer [4].
