To change the direction of rotation and brake operation, two components must be changed on the hoist. First, the motor must
be made to rotate in the opposite direction. This is accomplished by exchanging positions of the brake valve and manifold block
on the motor. Secondly, the brake clutch assembly must be made effective for the opposite direction of rotation. This is accom-
plished by reversing the inner race of the brake clutch assembly.
Figures 6 and 7 above show typical motor installations. Note that the only difference between the two drawings is that the motor
is rotated 180 degrees (the “belly” of the motor moves to the opposite side). If the motor shaft rotates clockwise in Figure 6 when
the hoisting port is pressurized, it will rotate counterclockwise in Figure 7.

1. Remove the four capscrews securing the brake
valve to the motor. Remove the four capscrews se-
curing the manifold block to the motor. Dis-
connect the motor case drain hose at the motor.
NOTE:
Some installations have the brake-release hose
connected directly to the motor, instead of to the mani-
fold block. In this case, disconnect the brake-release hose
at the motor port. Stand hoist up on drum support with
the motor end up and secure in this position.
2. Before removing the motor, note or mark the position of
the motor in relation to the hoist, because it will be ro-
tated 180 degrees when reinstalled. Remove the capscrews
securing the motor to the hoist and carefully remove the
motor.
3. Remove the brake clutch assembly from the motor sup-
port.
4. Remove the snap ring and sprag bushing retainer from
one end only of the brake clutch assembly.
5. Pull the inner race out. Examine the race for scoring,
wear, or indentations caused by the sprag cams. If the in-
ner race is not completely smooth, the assembly should be
replaced.
