a. Inspectthe hoist for any evidenceof shippingdamage
or loose parts.
b. The supporting structure and load attachingdevices
shouldhave a load rating at leastequalto that of the
hois1.
c. This hoist is not suitablefor usein uncoveredouldoor
locationsor areascontainingexplosivedust, vapors
or gases.
d. The installation area must provide safe operating
conditionsfor the operator,includingsufficientroom
for the operator and other personnelto stand clear
of the load at all times.
e. In areaswhere slack chain hanging from the hoist
may createa hazard,usea chaincontainer(seeFigure
2-2).
2-2. Hanging the Hoist
Hook mounted hoists can be used with a variety of
trollcysor stationaryhangers.It is recommendedthat a
hand-gearedor motorized trollcy be used when the
pulling effort required to move thc hoist exceeds100
poundsor when the applicationrcquiresfrequentmove-
mcnt of the hoist.
a. Makc sure thal thc-hook latch closesafter hanging
thc hoist.
b. The standardtop hook is restrainedfrom rotationby
a plate and two screws.Thc hook can be madc lo
swivel freclyby removingthe plate,or can be rotated
90" and fixed in that position.
c. Sce Figure 2-l for instructions on adjusting lug-
mounted plain trolleys.
d. Refer to Coffrng Motorized Trolley Operatingand
MaintenanceInstructionsmanualfor motorizedtrol-
lcy installationinstructions.
2-3. Power Supply Connection
a. Disconnectpower beforemaking connections.
b. Voltagesuppliedto the hoist should be within plus
or minus 100/o of the voltagespecifiedfor the hoist.
Hoisls are laggedat the factory with a tag indicating
the vohage for which the hoist is wired. Standard
singlephasehoistsare convertiblefrom ll5 to 230
volts. Standard single speed.three phase hoists are
convertible from 460 volts to 230 volts. See the
Wiring section(paragraph7-l) for voltageconversion
instructions.
c. National ElectricalCode(ANSI Cl) and localelectri-
cal codesshouldbe consultedand properdisconnects,
branch circuit protectors,and wiring provided.
d. Power cablesfurnished with the hoist have a green
colored ground wire which must be securely con-
nected to the electricalsystemground.
e. When installing a three-phasehoist, make only tem-
poraryconnectionsat the powerline. Pushthe "UP"
button and observethe direction of the hook. If it
raises,the phasingis correct and permanent connec-
tions may be madeat the powerline. If the load block
lowerswhen the "UP" button is pushed,releasethe
button immediatelysincethe limit switcheswill not
operateto protect the hoist from over-travel. Reverse
the red and black wires at the power line connection
to correctthe hook direction.
CAUTION
Do not changeconnectionsin the hoist or the pushbutton
assembly.
2-4. Vent Plug
This hoist has an oil-bath transmission.For shipping
purposes,a non-vented fill plug (24, Figure 8-l) was
installedat the factory.A vented plug is locatedin an
envelopetied to one of the hoist cnd coversand must
be installed in place of the non-ventedshipping plug
beforeoperatingthe hoist.
2-5. Chain Lubrication
Thc hoist chain should bc liberallyoiled beforeplacing
thc hoist inlo operation.For lubricationinstructions,
scc paragraph5-6.a.
2-6. Testing
a. Bcfore placing the hoist into operation, check for
properlimit switchoperation.Pushthe "UP" butlon
and verify that the hook block stopsat least2 inches
from the botlom of the hoist. Run the hoist down to
ils lowerlimit. At leastl2links ofchainshouldremain
on the slackend. If eitherswitchis not correcl,adjusl
accordingto the procedureoutlinedin paragraph5-2.
NOTE
The upperand lower limit switchesare factorysetto
provide the maximum allowablehook travel. This
travel adjustmentshould not be increased.Howcver,
the switchesmay be adjustedto stop the hook sooner
at either end of its travel.
b. Attach a light load to the hook and check the hoist
for proper operation.The load should slop without
noticeable drift when the pushbutton is released.

OPERATION
3-1. General
This sectionpresentsinformation concerningthe proper
operationof the Cofling'Electric Chain Hoist. It is not
intended to serveas a handbook on rigging.Rigging,the
processof moving heavy loads using mechanical
devices,requiresspecialknowledgeand equipment. For
information on the safeuseof slingsand similar riggrng
gear, usersare urged to consult a textbook on rigging.
3-2.SafetyNotes
a. Inspect the hoist for any sign of loose, broken, or
malfunctioningparts(seeSectionIV). Any malfunc-
tioning hoist should be taggedas "out oforder" and
removed from serviceuntil the defect is corrected.
b. Before starting the hoist, the operator should be
certain that all personnelare clear.
c. Do not lift more than the rated load of the hoist.
d. Do not lift people or loads over people.
e. Avoid joggrng controls or quick reversalsof sus-
pended loads.
f Do not leave a suspendedload unattended.
g. The operator should have a clear view of the load
completely through plate and into the opposite
housing.
c. Use the two hex washer head screws provided to
fasten the two remaining hanger chains into the I
notcheson the lower edgei of tne hoist housings. e
d. Be sure the end of the chain is started into the
container.Run hoist up until the hook block is even
with the bottom of the chain container.
e. Resetupper limit switch at this position (seeproce-
dure, paragraph 5-2) to prevent the possibility of
raising a load into the chain container.
SLOT FOR
SMALL SCREWDRIVER
anytime it is moving and should be sure that the
load does not contact any obstructions.
h. Read ANSI 830.16 SafetyStandardfor Overhead
Hoists.
3-3. Handling The Load
a. Align hoist directly over load. Avoid side pull.
b. The hoist chain should not be wrappedaround the
load. Use proper slings.
c. Be sure there are no twists in the load chain as it
entersthe hoist.
CAUTION
This conditionshould be constantlycheckedon dou-
ble or triple chain hoists becauseit is possible for
the load block to be "capsized" or flipped over one
or more times, putting twist in the chain. The pres-
enceof twist may not be obviouswhen the hook block
is in the lowered position but can causeserious chain
binding when the hook block is in its fully raised
b"
position.
d. Bring the hook into engagementwith the load and
make sure it is well seatedbefore proceedingto lift
 Americrane & Hoist Corp. 1-800-652-1932
the load. On multiple reevedhoists,be surethat the
load is equalizedon all supporting chains.
e. Lift the load just clear of its supports and stop the
hoist to check for proper brake operation.
{y f. Avoid letting the hook or load swing excessively
while moving a trolley suspendedhoist.
3-4.OverloadLimitingProtection
This hoist is equippedwith a factory-calibratedoverload
limiting clutch, which will permit the lifting of loads
within its load rating, but will prevent the lifting of
damaging overloads while the hoist is being operated.
If the load being lifted exceedsthe lifting capability of
the overload clutch, the hoist motor will continue to

INSPECTION
4-1. General
A scheduledinspection routine should be established
for this hoist basedupon severityof use and environ-
mental conditions.Some inspectionsshould be made
frequently (daily to monthly) and others periodically
(monthly to yearly). It is suggested that an Inspection
and MaintenanceCheckList and an Inspector'sReport
similar to those shown in Figures4-l and 4-2 be used
and filed for reference.All inspectionsshould be made
by a designatedinspector.Specialinspectionsshould be
4 madeafterany significantrepairsor any situationcaus-
lD ing suspicionthal the hoist may have been damaged.
Any hoist which has been removed from servicefor an
extendedtime should receivean inspectionasdescribed
under PeriodicInspections.ANSI B30.16,SafetyStan-
dard for OverheadHoists,providesguidelinesfor hoist
operationand inspection.
CAUTION
Any unsafecondition disclosedby any inspectionmust
be corrected before operation of the hoist is resumed.
4-2.FrequentInspection
a. Checkpushbuttonstation,brake,and limit switches
for properoperation.
b. Check hooks for deformation, chemical damage,or
cracks.Bent hooks or hooks damagedfrom chemi-
cals,deformation,cracks,or having excessivethroat
opening (see paragraph 4-6) should be replaced.
Visible deformation of any hook may be evidence
of hoist abuseand overloadingand indicatesthat a
thorough inspectionof the completehoist shouldbe
made.
c. Checkthat bottom hook swivelsfreely.
d. Checkfor missing,bent or otherwisedamagedhook
latches.
V e. Check pushbutton and power cord for cuts or other
damage.
4-3.PeriodicInspection
The exact period for the following inspections will
run, causing overheating of both the clutch and the
motor. This condition should be avoided by immedi-
ately releasingthe "[JP" button and reducing the load
to within the hoist load rating.
CAUTION
The overloadlimiting clutch is an emergencyprotective
deviceand should not be usedto measurethe maximum
load to be lifted, or to sensethe overloadimposed by a
constrainedload. Manufacturing tolerancesrequire that
the clutch be set somewhatabovethe load rating of the
hoist. The fact that the hoist will pick up loads in excess
of its load rating does not in any way sanction the use
of the hoist in an overloadedcondition.
dependon the anticipatedseverityofhoist use.Determi-
nation of this period should be based on the user's
experience.It is recommendedthat the user begin with
a monthly inspection and extend the periods to quar-
terly, semi-annually,or annually,basedon his monthly
inspection experience.
a. Clean hoist of any dirt or foreign material. Inspect
bottom block for accumulationof debns.
b. Perform all frequent inspectionslisted above.
c. Check for loose bolts, screwsand nuts.
d. Checkhousings,load block, and other partsfor wear,
corrosion,cracksor distortion. Check for abnormal
openingsbetweenhousingsections.
e. Checkmotorbrakeforworn discs,oil contamination
or excessiveclearance(seeparagraph5-3).
f. Check mechanicalload brake function (see Figure
4_3).
g. Inspect the entire length ofchain for gouges,nicks,
weld spatter, corrosion, distortion and wear. See
CHAIN INSPECTION, paragraph4-5.
h. Inspect hooks and suspensionparts for cracks,dis-
tortion or extreme wear.
i. Inspecthooksfor cracksusing magneticparticle,dye
penetrantor other crack detectingmethods.
j. Check limit switch set points and resel if necessary
(seeparagraph5-2).
k. Inspectall wiring for defectiveinsulation, and check
to be sureall electricalconnectionsare tight. Check
motor reversing contactor or relay for burned
contacts.
l. Inspect for oil leaks.Check oil level.
m. Inspect for missing or illegible capacity or warning
labels.
n. Inspect the supporting structure for continued abil-
ity to support the hoist rated load.

housing.
2.) DISCONNECT POWER from the hoist and
removethe short end cover.
3.) Adjust the green limit switch nut in the same
manner descnbedabovefor the red nut.
4.) Replacethe short end coverand reconnectpower
to the hoist.
5.) Carefullylower the load block to its lower limit
and observeif it stopsautomaticallyat the desired
level.Do no1run chain out of hoist or allow the slack
end loop to becometaut againstthe hoist housing.
At least12 links of slackchain should hanefrom the

NOTE
If upper and lower limits are not operatingsatisfac-
torily, repeatadjustment.
5-3.MotorBrakeAdiustment
When properly adjusted,the multiple disc motor brake
should release promptly, operate without noticeable
chatter,and stop the load with no more than one inch
of drift. If the hoist hesitatesto lift the load promptly
when the pushbutton is depressed,the brake should be
adjustedper the following procedure.

ture (A) and frame (B). The correctgap is .015".
d. Adjust the gapby turning the threelock nuts (F) and
check with a feelergaugeto be sure the gap is the
sameon both ends of the solenoid.
CAUTION
Be sure the bottom of the armature does not touch
the splined adapter (H). As wear occurs,the origi-
nal clearancewill be reduced.When this clearance
is gone, THE BRAKE DISCS MUST BE RE-
PLACED.
e. Replaceshort end cover and reconnectpower. Ifthe

5-4.TopSuspension
Removaland Replacement
A number of diflerent top suspensionassembliesare
availableto accommodatedifferentmethodsof hanging
the hoist.Ifit shouldbe necessary
to changetop suspen-
sions,proceedas follows:
a. DISCONNECT POWER from hoist and move the
hoist to a safe working area. If necessary,remove
trolley and/or rotate suspensionlug to gain access
to the socketheadcap screwsbolting the top suspen-
sion yoke to the frame of the hoist.
b. Remove socket head screws(1|rc"hex) and lift out
the suspensionassembly.
c. Install new suspensionassemblyand tighten socket
head screwsto 75 ft-lbs torque.
NOTE
Due to the off-centerhook or lug hole,the suspension
yoke can be installed in the hoist in two different
ways. With the hoist level, the hook or lug must
always be directly over the bottom hook. Refer to
Figure5-4for the proper yoke orientationsfor single,
double and triple chain hoists.
 Americrane & Hoist Corp. 1-800-652-1932
5-5. Chain Replacement (Old chain still in hoist)
Refer to Figure 5-4,Chaining and SuspensionDiagrams
and proceedas follows:
a. Run the load block up to its top limit.
b. DISCONNECT POWER from the hoist and remove
the short end cover.
c. With a screwdriver,push the springguideplate (No.
l, Figure 5-l) out of the slots in the plastic limit
switch nuts. Turn the red slotted nut (2) back to
about the center of the threaded screw. DO NOT
DISCONNECT THE WIRES FROM THE LIMIT
SWITCHES.
d. Removethe load hook assemblyfrom the old chain.
FIGURE 5-3. CHAINING HOIST
Make a "C"-shaped chain link by grinding through
one side of the end link of either the old or new
chain. SeeFigure 5-3.
Hook the special"C" link to the end link of both
chainsthusjoining them. BE SURE the weldsof the
upstandinglinks of the new chain are out away from
the load sheave.and that proper orientation is
observed for attachment of the slack end in para-
graph j. below.
NOTE
On triple chain hoistsbe sure all weldsare aligned
like the welds on the old chain. It may be necessary
to cut a link from one or both ends of the chain to
accomplishthis.
With the end cover o{I, connect the hoist to power
supply. Be sure the gteen glound wire is properly
grounded.
h . Carefully jog the "lJP" button and run the joined
piecesof chain into the hoist until about 12 inches
of the new chain comes out the other side.
DISCONNECT POWER from the hoist.
Remove both the "C" link and the old chain from
the slack end pin (No. 28, Figure 8-6). This can be
12
L
accomplishedby depressingthe pin againstthe slack
end spring (29) with a small screwdriver.Remove
the soft split link (23) from the old chain and attach
the link to the new chain. Depressthe slack end pin
and install the split link observingproperorientation t
of the slack end of the chain when secured.Avoid
twists in the chain.
k. Adjust the lower limit switch per paragraph5-2.b.
L Attach the bottom hook on single-chainedhoists to
the looseend ofthe chain. On double-chainedhoists,
feed the loose end of the chain through the load
block (welds of the upstanding links will be in
towardsthe sheave)and fasten the end ofthe chain
to the dead end lug (No. 18,Figure 8-6).
NOTE
On triple chainhoists,feedthe looseend ofthe chain
through the load block (welds away from sheave),
around the idler sheavein the hoist. and to the center
of the load block.
m. Adjust the upper limit switch per paragraph5-2.a.
n. Lubricate the new chain per paragraph 5-6.a and
perform an operation test ofthe hoist.
5-6. Lubrication
Proper lubrication is necessaryfor long, trouble-free
hoist operation. Refer to the following and to Table 5-1,
Recommended Lubrication Schedule, for lubrication
points, type of lubricant,and frequencyof lubrication. 'lr.)
a. Load Chain Cleanthe load chain with a non-acid and
non-causticsolvent and coat with SAE 90 gear oil.
Wipe excessoil to prevent dripping. If the hoist is
usedin an atmospherecontainingabrasivedust, the
chain should be cleanedand oiled more frequently.
Never apply greaseto the chain.
b. GearingThe gearcaseof the hoist is filled at assembly
with 46 oz. of a gear oil containing special friction-
reducing additives.
WARNING
The use of gear oils other than that recommendedin
Table 5-l can causebrake chatter or can render the load
brake incapableof holding a load. A 46 oz.container of
this oil ls availablefrom the Duff-Norton Co. (Part No.
l4Jl).
a. To check the oil level, remove the 7e"pipe plug from
the side of the hoist. With the hoist hanging level,
transmissionoil should be even with the edgeof the
tapped plug hole.
b. Thelengthof timebetweennecessary oil changeswill
dependon the severityof usethe hoist receives.In
general,the oil shouldbe changedevery 12monlhs r
