ASSEMBLY
1. Place the brake housing on a work bench with motor mounting surface down. Lightly
lubricate and install one of the thrust washers into the housing. Install the brake
actuating assembly, with the clevis attached to it, into the housing. The clevis must fit
into the opening on the side of the housing.
2.
Tilt the housing and install two capscrews and sealing washers ( item 9 & 8) into two
holes in the housing, 180 degrees apart. These capscrews will align the pressure plate
and steel discs when they are installed. Apply an oil soluble grease or petroleum jelly
to the other thrust washer and install it onto the pilot of the pressure plate (item 5). The
grease will hold it in position while the pressure plate is intalled. Install the pressure
plate onto the actuating mechanism. Alternately install a friction disc and a steel brake
disc into the housing. NOTE: There are (4) friction and (3) steel discs. Start and end
with a friction disk.
