Also, check to make sure that the latch is not damaged or bent and
that it operates properly with sufficient spring pressure to keep the
latch tightly against the tip of the hook and allow the latch to spring
back to the tip when released. If the latch does not operate prop-
erly, it should be replaced.
LOAD CHAIN
Cleaning and Inspection
First clean the load chain with a non-acid or non-caustic type sol-
vent then slack the chain and make a link-by-link inspection for
nicks, gouges, twisted links and excessive wear or stretching. Worn
chain should be gaged throughout its entire length and replaced if
beyond serviceable limits.
To determine if load chain should be continued in service, check
gage lengths as indicated in figure below. Chain worn beyond
length indicated, nicked, gouged or twisted should be replaced be-
fore returning hoist to service. Chain should be clean, free of twists
and pulled taut before measuring. In cases where the wear is local-
ized and not beyond serviceable limits, it is sometimes possible to
reverse the load chain, end for end, and allow a new section to take
the wear. Proper installation of the load chain is covered in section
on Reeving Load Chain (page 7).
Note that worn chain can be an indication of worn hoist compo-
nents. For this reason, the hoist’s chain guide roller and liftwheel
should be examined for wear and replaced as necessary when re-
placing worn chain.
Also, load chains are specially heat treated and hardened and
should never be repaired.
HAND CHAIN
Hand chain should be cleaned, inspected and gaged in the same
manner as load chain.
As received from the factory, the hand chain contains an unwelded
link. This link can be placed in a vise and twisted open to facilitate
changing chain length. Please note that opening and closing of the
connecting link more than twice is not recommended. Also, con-
necting links must not be made by cutting the weld side of a stan-
dard hand chain link.
Hand chain should be assembled to handwheel free from twists with
weld on vertical link facing inward towards handwheel and weld on
horizontal link facing towards the handwheel side plate.
Care must be taken to assure that there is no twist in the hand chain
loop.
LUBRICATION
Lubricate load chain with a light coat of Lubriplate Bar and Chain
Oil 10-R (Fiske Bros. Refining Co.) or equal lubricant. Be sure
the lubricant reaches the bearing surfaces between the links.
Remove excess oil from the chain.
The hoist normally requires no additional lubrication, except for peri-
odically lubricating the load chain as indicated above or when the
unit is disassembled for periodic inspections, cleaning or repairs.
The brake is designed to operate dry. Do not use any grease
or lubricant on the braking surfaces. When lubricating parts
adjacent to the brake, do not use an excessive amount of lubri-
cant which could seep onto the brake surfaces.
When the hoist is disassembled for periodic inspections, check the
pawl for free movement and apply a light coat of WD-40 (WD-40
Co.) lubricant to the pawl stud.
When the hoist is disassembled for cleaning or repairs, the following
locations should be lubricated using approximately 1 oz. (29.5mL)
per hoist of Molykote BR-2-S (Dow Corning Corp.) grease or equiv-
alent—threads of handwheel; gears; liftwheel rollers; gear bearing
rollers; journals of chain guide and dead end pin; sheave wheel
rollers (3, 5 and 10 ton); hook ball bearings (3 and 5 ton); hook col-
lar journals (3 and 5 ton); dead end stud (3, 5 and 10 ton); bearing
surface of hook knob (10 ton); hook block pin (10 ton); and hanger
pin (10 ton).
NOTE: To assure extra long life and top performance, be sure
to lubricate the various parts of the hoist using the lubricants
specified above. If desired, these lubricants may be purchased
from BUDGIT. Refer to pages 8 and 10 for information on or-
dering the lubricants.
DISASSEMBLY
Two points of caution to be observed in disassembly are:
1.
Loose rollers and bearing balls are used in various locations in
the units. Care must be taken so as to not lose or misplace these
since they may drop from the unit as the various parts are disas-
sembled. The number of rollers or bearing balls used are:
2. 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 replacement of the latch, refer to para-
graph 4 of the Assembly Instructions.
ASSEMBLY
Consideration must be given to the following when assembling the
hoist:
1. Assemble the brake components as shown below. The ratchet
teeth must face as shown and engage the pawl. Do not lubricate
the brake surfaces. The brake operates dry. Assemble handwheel
to pinion shaft and turn handwheel to seat brake components. As-
semble the pinion shaft nut to the shaft until the nut bottoms. Then
back nut off at least one but not more than two flats. Insert cotter
pin and bend ends to secure same.
