Brake Band Maintenance Tip

Probably the largest contributor to wear on brake linings, other than normal usage, is bent, flattened or twisted brake bands.

Bands are damaged in removing for relining by jerking them out of the drawworks with a catline. They should be handled very carefully in order to avoid distortion. When a band is distorted from its proper shape, it not only promotes rapid wear but causes the brake lever to “kick” when released.
