What to do if the BRADEN CH210 Winches brake won't hold a load in neutral?
- DDeborah KochAug 9, 2025
If the brake isn't holding a load with the control lever in neutral, excessive system back pressure acting on the brake release port may be the cause. The solution is the same as Remedy 2 of Trouble B2. Also, worn or damaged brake discs may be the reason. You should follow Remedy 3 of Trouble A3. Slipping of the brake clutch could also be the reason. In that case, drain the old gear oil and flush the hoist with solvent, then thoroughly drain the solvent and refill the hoist with the recommended planetary gear oil. The brake clutch itself may also be damaged or worn, requiring disassembly and inspection.
