Simply secure the brake using the Midwest Brake supplied bolts, make the electrical connections to the AC power source as per the service manual, fill with Type F automatic transmission fluid and the brake is ready for operation.

Electro Shear® is easily fit to accommodate custom mounting configurations including gear boxes, metric motors, double c-face applications, thru shaft applications and many others. Please contact your Midwest Brake representative for application assistance.
