Using a 5/32” Allen wrench, turn the two manual release screws counter-clockwise until
the brake releases (Figure 7).
Figure 7. Brake Release Procedure.
(azimuth gear motor shown, elevation gear motor similar)
When the brake is released, a black/red disk assembly (brake/clutch mechanism ) will
begin to rotate as the motor free-wheels. This may be used as a visual sign that brake
disengagement has been achieved.
Release the brake and rotate in azimuth to achieve azimuth stowing position. The end
of the feed boom may be used as a push point for azimuth rotation (only during power
loss).
Install the brake cover with the nylon washers and wing nuts.
