Reverse Brake Assembly: Inspection

Inspect the drive plate facing for wear and damage.
Check the driven plate for discoloration (burnt color).
Check for worn snap ring, fatigue or damaged return spring or deformed spring retainer.
Make sure the clearance between retaining plate and snap ring of reverse brake is within the limit. If it exceeds the limit, replace with a new drive plate and select and adjust the retaining plate within the initial standard value. Refer to , ASSEMBLY , Reverse Brake Assembly.
