Brake Adjustment - CM HURRICANE 5600 Manual De Funcionamiento

BRAKE ADJUSTMENT

To adjust the brake:
1. Remove the handwheel cap (656-36) and hand
wheel nut (656-30).
2. Using driver (656-29), rotate drive shaft (656-10)
counterclockwise until brake is totally and firmly
closed (cannot rotate driver any further).
3. Depress and slowly rotate the handwheel (656-27)
counterclockwise until you feel that it engages a stop.
4. Slide the driver onto the drive shaft so that there is
3/16 inch between the flat surface of the driver and
a stop on the handwheel (See Figure 6, below). Hold
the handwheel and driver in this position and firmly
tighten the handwheel nut.
5. Suspend the hoist in the normal position and attach
the lower hook to a weight close to the rated capacity.
Lift and lower the load while observing the action
of the driver. When lifting, the driver must engage
the stop on the handwheel. During lowering, there
must be approximately 3/16 inch between the flat
surface of the driver and the stop on the handwheel.
If the driver does not operate in this manner, remove
the load and readjust the brake until the driver is oper-
ating properly.
6. After the driver is operating properly, replace the
handwheel cap and return the hoist to service.

GEARS
The gears (656-12) do not have to be timed and as a result,
they do not have to be oriented in a certain position during
assembly. However, for proper operation of the 1/2 and 1 ton
units, one gear marked "A" and one gear marked "B" must be
used.
