typically 30%. You didn't mention if the rest of the reel is stock or modded to some degree but you should be able to fish 50-65 braid on that. I'll fish 50 braid on a stock 501 if it has a steel main gear and have had no issues. Mono or fluoro topshop helps with some shock absorbing also. I run the braid then 30-50lb topshot depending on application.

It will easily be able to run that 40lb line, I have thoroughly fished Alans upgrades and I run mainly 30-40lb test and handles it like a dream. I run about 12-13lbs of drag when running my 40 top shots.
