General Machine Products 70601 Adams CD Lite Winch - Manual (Page 14)

3.05 FULL LOAD BRAKE - Although the full load brake is factory installed, the mounting and
plumbing of the brake counterbalance valve and the brake bleeding procedures must be followed dur-
ing installation of the winch to ensure proper brake operation.
3.051 INSTALLATION OF THE BRAKE COUNTERBALANCE VALVE
A counterbalance valve is a part of the brake system and helps to increase the responsiveness of the
brake and improve the load control capabilities of the winch. The counterbalance valve and hoses are
shipped loose in the parts box and require mounting and plumbing at the time of the winch installan-
tion.
The 24 in. hose P/N 26894 must be connected from the motor port to the #1 port on the counterbalance
valve. The line from the directional control valve must be connected to the #2 port on the counterbal-
ance valve. The smaller 15½ in. hose P/N 25369 must be connected from the ʺTʺ fitting on the motor
port to the #3 port on the counterbalance valve. Refer to drawing 27162 for more information.
The counterbalance valve has two through holes for mounting fasteners (not supplied). The supplied
hoses will allow mounting of the counterbalance valve in close proximity to the winch hydraulic motor.
