Maintenance for the 48in brake is simple. On a monthly basis the brake should be inspected for damage to the fingers (notches, bent corners etc.) If the damage may cause impressions in the bent metal, the raised edge should be flattened with a whet-stone. If damage is severe the finger should be removed from service. The pivots of the mechanism should also periodically be oiled to provide smooth operation. Both these tasks should be performed on a monthly basis. Failure to perform these maintenance tasks will result in degraded operation.
