INSTALLATION 1. BRAKE INSTALLATION A. SHAFT PREPARATION & MOUNTING Mach III Clutch products are bored to fit a precision plug gauge for the specified bore size and should slide fit the mating shaft. Make certain that the shaft is free of burrs or nicks. It may be necessary to file or sand the shaft to ensure a slide fit. Never hammer the brake onto the shaft. Hammering on the brake may cause evident damage or subtle injury that will shorten the wear life of the unit and will void the warranty. (1) Apply the anti-seize (E-Z Break®) lubricant from the packet provided, or equivalent, to the...

OPERATION A. AIR PRESSURE This brake is spring engaged (air released). The air pressure to release the brake is between 60 and 70 psi. For maximum life of the brake, operating pressure should not exceed 80 PSI. B. CONTAMINATION The friction material (pads) contained within this product will absorb oil, water, chemicals, and other contaminants. Depending on the type of contamination, clutch may either seize up entirely or lose torque capacity. If friction discs become contaminated, they should be replaced. Particulate contamination can also cause premature wear of the drive surfaces and...
