MAINTENANCE
(Continued)
2. To replace the liftwheel or stripper,
completely disassemble the unit:
remove the chain (See REPLACiNG
LoAD CHAiN, page 7) and then
remove the brake nut, cotter pin and
spacer (19), free chaining knob (17),
lever (16), check washer (18), lever
ratchet (33), brake cover (14), friction
discs (12), ratchet (13), spring (6) and
friction hub (11). on the gear side,
remove the gear cover (8), gears (5)
and pinion (7). Remove snap ring and
liftwheel gear (23). Being careful not to
loose the rollers, remove the side plate
assembly (1). Slide the liftwheel (22)
out of the side plate (2), being careful
not to loose the rollers. The stripper (4)
can also be removed now.
Prior to re-assembly, check all parts for
excessive wear, cracks and distortion.
Replace parts as necessary and then
re-assemble the unit in reverse to the
order given above, making sure to install
the chain guide rollers (10) and upper
hook (25) and pin (26). After assembly,
install the chain (See REPLACiNG LoAD
CHAiN, page 7) and then test the unit
(See TESTiNG, page 8).
3. The latch is secured to the hook (upper
and lower) by a rivet. To remove the
latch, it is necessary to remove the
head of the rivet by grinding or drilling.
For the replacement of the latch, refer
to the paragraphs under assembly
instructions.
ASSEMBLY
1. Thread the friction hub (11 ) onto
the pinion shaft (7 ) and assemble
the friction discs and the ratchet on
the friction hub (See Figure 8).Place
the spring (6) over the friction hub
and pinion. Place the brake cover
assembly (14) on the frame and thread
the lever ratchet (33) onto the pinion
shaft. Firmly seat the lever ratchet and
secure the brake cover assembly to
the frame using the four nuts (9).

Place the check washer (18) on the
pinion shaft so that there is 0.094 to
0.312 inches (2 to 8 mm) between the
edge of the check washer and the
raised stop on the lever ratchet hub
(See Figure 9).

make sure the directional lever is in
the neutral ("N") position and the pawl,
spring and shaft (20) are in the lever
assembly (16), attach the lever assembly
to the brake cover (14) using the two
0.094 to 0.312 in.

Place the free chaining knob (17) on the
lever ratchet hub (33). Place the spacer
(19) over the pinion shaft, thread the
brake nut (19) onto the pinion shaft, and
firmly tighten the nut. Back off the nut
one to two flats and insert the cotter pin
(19). Bend the legs of the cotter pin
to secure.
2. When assembling the latch to the
hook, the end of the rivet must be
peened over. When peening over rivet,
only apply enough force to form a
head to retain the pin. Excessive force
will deform the latch and make the
latch inoperable.
3. When assembling the gears, they
must be orientated with the timing
marks aligned (See Figure 10).

REPLACING LOAD CHAIN
Ratchet
To replace the load chain, remove the
lower hook block and chain stop from
the chain. move the directional lever to
the neutral "N" and pull the old chain
out of the hoist. Feed a length of soft
wire through one side of the chain guide
roller and over the liftwheel until it comes
out on the other side of the chain guide
roller. Attach the wire to the end of the
pawl
new chain. Position the chain so that the
first link to enter the chain guide roller
will be an upstanding link and the welds
on all upstanding links will be away from
the liftwheel. Pull on the wire until the
chain engages the liftwheel. Turn the free
chaining knob, while pulling on the wire,
until the chain comes out of the chain
guide roller. Pull the chain through and
remove the wire. on the 3/4, 1, 1 1/2, 2
and 3 Ton units attach the lower hook
block to the chain that is directly below
the upper hook. on the 6 Ton unit, reeve
the chain as shown below. Attach the
chain stop to the other end of the chain.
