Coffing JLC series electric chain hoists are rugged, portable
hoists that provide quick, precise lifting.The hoists are
constructed of tough, but lightweight, die cast aluminum alloy
housings.An oil bath transmission, equipped with heat-treated,
alloy steel gears and an overload limiting clutch, provides
smooth and reliable operation.With a pushbutton station that
fits comfortably in one hand, the operator can safely control the
hoist while the other hand is free to guide the load.The
electrical controls use a low voltage circuit (24V standard,
115V optional).Terminal blocks allow for easy voltage
conversions on dual-voltage models.
Other features that ensure the safe operation of Coffing electric
chain hoists include a magnetic disc brake that delivers sure
stopping and secure holding of the load.Adjustable upper and
lower limit switches regulate the load travel.As a standard,
hooks are supplied with safety latches.For additional safety,
a chain stop is attached to the slack end of the load chain.
Coffing electric chain hoists are designed and tested in
accordance with the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers Code B30.16, “Safety Standard for Overhead
Hoists.” Hoists are built in compliance with CSA, file number
LR 44484.Made in U.S.A.
*The 1HP, 115/230V models (JLC1032-1, JLC2016-1,
JLC4008-1) must have a dedicated power circuit rated for at
least 20A, 125V when they are wired for 115V.It is not
unusual for these models to draw up to 20 amps at 115V
when lifting at rated capacity depending on the quality of the
voltage source.
NOTE: The above data is the nominal motor current at full
load.At full load, it is not unusual for the hoist to draw
in excess of the values listed when lifting.It is critical to ensure
that the voltage at the reversing contactor does not drop below
10% of the nominal voltage while lifting a load.Low voltage will
result in higher amp draw, damage to the hoist, and potential
fire hazards.Coffing Hoists is not responsible for any damages
caused by an inadequate power source.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
This hoist is intended for general industrial use for lifting and
transporting freely suspended material loads within its rated
capacity. Coffing Hoists cannot be responsible for applications
other than those for which Coffing equipment is recommended.
Prior to installation and operation, we caution the user to
review his application for abnormal environmental or handling
conditions and to observe the applicable recommendations
as follows:
ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
Do not use the hoist in areas containing flammable vapors,
liquids, gases or any combustible dusts or fibers.Refer to
Article 500 of the National Electrical Code. Do not use this
hoist in highly corrosive, abrasive or wet environments.Do not
use this hoist in applications involving extended exposure to
ambient temperatures below -10°F or above 130°F.
LIFTING OF HAZARDOUS LOADS
This hoist is not recommended for use in lifting or transporting
hazardous loads or materials which could cause widespread
damage if dropped.The lifting of loads which could explode or
create chemical or radioactive contamination if dropped
requires fail-safe redundant supporting devices which are not
incorporated into this hoist.
LIFTING OF GUIDED LOADS
This hoist is not recommended for use in the lifting of guided
loads, including dumbwaiters and elevators.Such applications
require additional protective devices which are not
incorporated into this hoist.For such applications, refer to the
requirements of applicable state and local codes, and the
American National Safety Code for elevators, dumbwaiters,
escalators and moving walks (ASME A17.1).
SAFETY INFORMATION
1. Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well as the
National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occupational
Safety and Health Act (OSHA) in the United States.
2. Hoist must be securely and adequately grounded.Hoist
power cable is provided with an additional lead (green) for
grounding purposes.
3. Be careful when touching the exterior of an operating
motor; it may be hot enough to be painful or cause injury.
With modern motors this condition is normal if operated at
rated load and voltage (modern motors are built to operate
at higher temperatures).
4. Protect the power cable and control cable from coming in
contact with sharp objects.
5. Do not kink power cable and control cable and never allow
the cable to come in contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces,
or chemicals.
6. Make certain that the power source conforms to the
requirements of your equipment.
7. Inspect the unit daily before operating the hoist.
8. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
9. The operator should not engage in any practice which will
divert his attention while operating the hoist.
10. Before using the hoist, the operator should be certain that
all personnel are clear.
11. Do not operate hoist with loads exceeding its rated capacity.
12. Supporting frames or beams used as a hoist hanger must
have a greater load capacity than the hoist.
13. Do not attempt to operate the hoist beyond normal
maximum lift range.
14. Align hoist for a straight line pull.Avoid side pull or end pull.
15. Do not operate hoist with twisted or damaged chain.
16. Do not operate a damaged or malfunctioning hoist until
necessary adjustments or repairs have been made.
17. Do not use hoist to lift people or to carry loads over people.
18. Do not leave a load suspended in the air unattended.
19. Always remove load before making repairs.
20. Do not remove or obscure capacity or warning decals.
INSTALLATION
1. Before installing the hoist, check the following:
a. Make sure all supporting structures and attaching devices
are strong enough to hold your intended loads.If in doubt,
consult a qualified structural engineer.
b. Provide proper branch circuit protection for the hoist as
recommended in the National Electrical Code.
c. The power supply should be plus or minus 10% of the
voltage specified on the motor nameplate.It is critical to
use adequate sized power cables, especially with 1-phase
hoists (SeeTable 5, page 11).Be sure dual voltage hoists
are connected or wired to correspond with your power
supply (See WIRING, page 9).
d. Installation area must provide operating conditions for the
operator including sufficient room for the operator and
other personnel to stand clear of the load at all times.
e. For installations where the slack chain hanging from the
unit may be objectionable or hazardous, the use of a
chain container is recommended (See CHAIN
CONTAINER, page 5).
2. JLCET models come with a Coffing ET-A push-type trolley
and an adaptable suspension lug.ET-A trolleys are made to
run on American Standard I-Beams and Wide Flange
Beams with flange widths up to 8".For assembly refer to the
instructions provided with the trolley.The hoist lug must be
centered with the sideplates (±1 washer).Due to the lug
thickness, the washer placement between each sideplate
and the lug may differ by 1 less washer than the generic
instructions specify.

Always disconnect power source before working on
or near a hoist or its connected load. If the power
disconnect point is out of sight, lock it in the open
position and tag to prevent unexpected application
of power.

For installations where the trolley can not be slid onto the
end of a beam, leave the load pin nuts loose enough to get
the wheels around the beam flange.Check the flange width
setting before tightening the nuts to 125 ft-lbs.Be sure to
have end stops on your beam.
3. Before operating the hoist, be sure to observe the following:
a. ALWAYS DISCONNECT HOIST FROM POWER SUPPLY
before removing electrical cover or when making any
electrical connection in the hoist or pushbutton station.
b. The ground wire (green colored) of the power cable
should always be connected to a suitable ground by
means of a screw or clamp. An alligator clip does not
make a safe ground connection.
c. When installing a three-phase hoist, make only temporary
connections at the power source.Push the “UP” button
and observe the direction of the load block.If it raises, the
phasing is correct and permanent connections may be
made at the power source.If the load block lowers when
the “UP” button is pushed, release the button immediately
since the limit switches will not operate to protect the hoist
from over-travel.Reverse any two wires (except the green
ground wire) at the power source to correct the load hook
direction (phasing).Do not change connections in the
hoist or pushbutton assembly.
d. Make sure load chain is not twisted as it travels into the
hoist.
e. Operate hoist in a hanging position only. Hoist should be
permitted to align itself for a straight line pull.Do not
attempt to pull around corners.
f. Read ASME-B30.16 Safety Code for Hoists.
4. Lubricate the chain if necessary, see LUBRICATION,
page 9.
5. Check the function of the limit switches.Before placing hoist
in operation, check limit switch settings.Operate pushbutton
until near stop point and inch into stop limit, both top and
bottom.If either switch is not correct, adjust according to
LIMIT SWITCH ADJUSTMENT, page 8.
CHAIN CONTAINER (Optional Accessary)
Refer to Table 4.
For installations where the slack chain hanging from the hoist
may be objectionable or hazardous, the use of a chain
container is recommended.
Available chain containers include the standard containers
designed for lifts of up to 50 ft on single-chained hoists and 25
ft on double-chained hoists.For longer lifts, the JLC927-5
container is available.For applications where a fabric bag is
preferred, the JLC927-20F, JLC927-40F and the JLC927-70F
are all options.
Instructions are provided with each of these chain containers
and must be adhered to closely to ensure a proper installation.
To install the long lift chain container or a fabric chain
container, you must follow instruction sheets provided with the
chain container.The following instructions are for the standard
metal chain containers only.
Installation of Standard Chain
Containers (JLC927-1)
Refer to Figure 1.
1. Remove retaining clip and attachment pin and let the slack
chain hang free.
Do not attempt to store more chain in chain
container than that specified in the table below or
serious damage to hoist may result and hazardous
conditions may be created.

2. Run load hook down to its lowest position.Place the slack end
of chain in chain container.Do not remove the chain stop.
3. Place chain container flush against housing with chain
stripper between top lugs.Insert long attachment pin and
replace retaining clip.
4. Feed the remainder of chain into container by operating
hoist in the “UP” direction to the top limit.This will permit the
chain to pile freely and prevent the chain from kinking, which
may occur if the chain is placed in the container by hand.
OPERATION
This hoist is designed for safe operation within the limits of its
rated capacity. It is controlled by the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons
of the pushbutton station.Two-speed models utilize 2-step
buttons, the first step for operating the slow speed and the
second for the fast speed.Although the Coffing JLC is built with
many features to ensure safety, it is a requirement that a hoist
operator understands safe lifting practices.The following points
must be observed.
1. Do not overload the hoist.
2. Do not make extreme side pulls with the hoist.
3. Operate the hoist only in a hanging position with
adequate support.
4. Do not “sling”the load hook and chain around the load.
Use an approved sling.
5. Be sure there are no twists in the load chain as it travels
into the hoist housing.This condition should be constantly
checked on double chain hoists because it is possible for the
load block to be “capsized”or turned over one or more times.
6. Before raising a load, always check to see that it is held
securely in the hook or sling chains, etc.Raise the load
only until the load chain is taut and then double check the
rigging before continuing to raise the load.
7. Do not stand beneath a load! Do not move a load in such a
manner as to endanger personnel.
8. Don’t lower into areas where visibility is obscured unless
someone else is guiding the operation.
9. Use common sense at all times when operating a hoist.
10. Do not operate if direction of hook travel is not the same as
indicated on button being pushed.
11. Do not operate unless hook travel limit devices function.
Test without load each shift.
12. Do not operate when hoist is not centered over load.
13. Do not operate if chain is not seated properly in sprockets
or sheave grooves.
14. Do not operate damaged or malfunctioning hoist.
OVERLOAD LIMITING PROTECTION
This hoist is equipped with a factory-calibrated overload
limiting clutch that will permit the lifting of loads within its rated
capacity, but will prevent the lifting of damaging overloads while
the hoist is being operated.If the load being lifted exceeds the
lifting capability of the overload clutch, the hoist motor will
continue to run, causing overheating of both the clutch and
hoist motor.This condition should be avoided by immediately
releasing the “UP” button and reducing the load to within the
rated capacity of the hoist.See GEARING, page 10, for
additional instructions on this device.
MAINTENANCE
INSPECTIONS
A planned inspection routine should be established for this
hoist based upon frequency of use, severity of use, and
environmental conditions (Reference ASME Standard B30.16).
Some inspections should be made frequently (daily to monthly)
and others periodically (monthly to yearly). It is strongly
recommended that an Inspection and Maintenance Check List
and an Inspector’s Report, similar to those shown in Figures
10A and 10B, be used and filed for reference.All inspections
should be performed or overseen by a designated inspector.
Special inspections should be made following any significant
repairs or any operating occurrence leading one to suspect
that the hoist’s capability may have been impaired.
LOWERING WITHOUT POWER
If the power fails with a load suspended, the hoist will
automatically stop.In an emergency the load can be lowered
without power as follows:
1. DISCONNECT HOIST FROM POWER SUPPLY AND
REMOVE ELECTRICAL COVER.
2. Refer to Figure 5. Open disc brake manually by using two
screwdriver blades, one on each side of the brake at a point
close to the brake spring posts.Apply pressure to the
underside of the armature plate (points “X”) to close the
solenoid and release the brake.
3. Use several quick releases instead of holding brake open
continuously. Do not exceed normal lowering speed.

Wadesboro, NC 28170 USA
TEL: [phone]
FAX: [phone]
Do not allow screwdriver blades to touch rotating
friction disc “C”.
Do not use hoist to lift, support or otherwise
transport people.
Do not allow the load to descend rapidly. This causes
the motor to race and serious damage may result.
The overload limiting clutch is an emergency
protective device and should not be used to measure
the maximum load to be lifted, or to sense the
overload imposed by a constrained load. While the
overload limiting clutch will protect the hoist from
damaging overloads, it will not ensure that a load is
within the rated capacity of the hoist.
Do not allow load to come in contact with the chain
container. If this situation exists reset the “UP” limit
switch so that the hook block stops below the chain
container (See LIMIT SWITCH ADJUSTMENT, page 8).

HOOKS
Refer to Figure 2.
1. Inspect hooks once daily for cracking, extreme wear or
spreading.Replace hooks showing any of these signs.If the
throat openings are spread wider than the maximum
permissible 15% increase listed here, the hooks have been
overstressed and must be replaced.Any hook that is bent or
twisted more than 10 degrees from the plane of an unbent
hook must also be replaced.
2. The hook latches should be inspected to ensure that they
close the hook throat opening in a secure manner when a
load is applied.Inspect the hook shank and nut for any
stripping of the threads or other damage.The hook nut
should be fully restrained by the retaining pin.
3. In addition to above, load hooks should be inspected for
cracks by the magnetic particle, dye penetrant or other
suitable crack testing inspection method.This should be
done at least once a year.

(*) Maximum permissible throat opening of hook.
CHAIN
Chain is to be kept clean and lubricated (See LUBRICATION,
page 9).Visually check chain every time hoist is used.Hoist
must not be operated when chain is twisted or kinked.An
important phase of hoist maintenance is chain inspection.
Check individual links and check for chain elongation.
1. Check the chain for overall wear or stretch by selecting an
unworn, unstretched length of chain (at the slack end for
example).Let the chain hang vertically with a light load
(about 20 pounds) on the chain to pull it taut.Use a large
caliper to measure the outside length of a convenient
number of links (about 12 inches).Measure the same
number of links in a used section of chain and calculate the
percentage increase in length of the worn chain.
2. If the length of the worn chain is more than 1½% longer than
the unused chain (0.015" per inch of chain measured), then
the chain should be replaced.If the chain is worn less
than 1½%, check it at several more places along its length.If
any section is worn more than 1½%, the chain should
be replaced.
Chain Replacement with Chain in Hoist
Refer to Figures 3 & 4.
1. Run hook up to its top limit.
2. DISCONNECT HOIST FROM POWER SUPPLY and
remove the electrical cover.
3. Using a screwdriver, pry the spring guide plate out of the
slots in the limit switch nuts (See Figure 3).Turn the gold
nut back to about the center of the threaded screw.Do not
disconnect the wires from the limit switches.
4. Remove the load block assembly from the old chain.On
double-chained hoists detach the chain from the chain
support and pull it through the load block assembly (See
Figure 4).
5. Make a “C” shaped chain link by grinding through the end
link on the load end of the old chain.
6. Using the “C”link, attach the new chain to the load end of
the old chain.Be sure that the welds of the upstanding links
of the new chain will face outward from the load sheave.
The end links must be oriented for attachment to the dead-
end screw and the chain support (double-chained only)
without any twist in the chain.
7. With the electrical cover off, connect the hoist to the power
supply. Be sure that the green ground wire is properly
grounded (See INSTALLATION, page 4).
8. Carefully jog the “UP”button and run the joined pieces of
chain into the hoist until about 15" of the new chain comes
out the other side.
9. DISCONNECT HOIST FROM POWER SUPPLY.
10. Remove the “C” link and the old chain. Remove the chain
stop by prying off its retaining ring with a flathead
screwdriver.If attached, remove the old chain from the
chain stripper by removing the retainer clip and
attachment pin.
11. Attach the chain stop to the slack end of the new chain by
capturing the 12th link with the two stop halves positioned
with their tapered ends pointing towards the hoist.Slide the
sleeve over the halves and attach the retaining ring. If you
are not using a chain container, attach the slack end of the
new chain to the side of the hoist using the attachment pin

hoists, feed the chain through the load block (welds
of the upstanding links will be in towards the sheave) and
fasten the end of the chain to the chain support using a
new chain support pin (See Figure 23).Be sure there are
no twists in the chain.
14. Adjust the upper limit switch (See ADJUSTING UPPER
LIMIT, page 8).
Chain Replacement with No Chain in Hoist
Refer to Figure 4.
1. DISCONNECT HOIST FROM POWER SUPPLY and move
hoist to a work table.Remove the electrical cover, electrical
panel and the electric brake assembly.
2. Detach the chain stripper from the bottom of the hoist.
3. Insert the new chain between the load sheave and the chain
guide.Feed the chain into the hoist by manually turning the
brake hub.Allow about 15" of chain below the hoist on the
slack end.Be sure the welds of the upstanding links are out
away from the load sheave and that proper orientation is
observed for attachment of the slack end.Also be sure the
load hook assembly (if already attached to the chain) is
toward the center of the hoist or to your right looking from
the transmission end.
4. Reinstall the chain stripper (with the chain anchor on double-
chained hoists, See Figure 4) observing proper chain
alignment and avoiding any twist in the chain.
5. Follow steps 11 through 14 in previous section, CHAIN
REPLACEMENT WITH CHAIN IN HOIST, to complete the
chain replacement procedure.
NOTE: Inspect chain guides and load sheave for wear,
replace as needed.
LIMIT SWITCH ADJUSTMENT
IMPORTANT: Before placing hoist in operation, check the limit
switch adjustment.Limit switches are provided to protect the
hoist against damage resulting from overtravel or to allow setting
the hook travel within the factory-set limits of travel.The standard
limit switch is designed for lifts of 50 ft or less on single-chained
hoists and 25 ft or less on the 2 ton, double-chained models.The
long lift limit switch allows for the maximum amount of lift, which
is 134 ft on 1/2 ton and under models, 143 ft on the 1 ton
models, and 71 ft on the 2 ton models.
The upper and lower limit switch adjusting nuts are color-coded
gold and silver respectively. Each limit nut has 10 slots for fine
adjustment, and the increment of adjustment is such that one
slot is equivalent to approximately one link of chain travel with
the standard limit switch.Movement of the limit switch nuts
toward or away from each other increases or decreases the
hook travel respectively.
Adjusting Upper Limit (Gold Nut)
Refer to Figure 3.
1. Suspend the hoist.For single chain models raise the load
block until there is a minimum clearance of 2" from the hoist
housing and the top of the block.Double chain models
require a minimum clearance of 1" from the chain support to
the top of the load block.
2. DISCONNECT HOIST FROM POWER SUPPLY and
remove the electrical cover.
3. With a screwdriver, pry the spring guide plate out of the slots
in the limit switch nuts.
4. Turn the slotted gold nut toward its limit switch until the
switch “clicks” then turn two slots farther.Release the spring
guide plate and be sure it slips back into the slots in both
limit switch nuts.Do not disturb the silver slotted nut if it has
been set previously.
Adjusting Lower Limit (Silver Nut)
Refer to Figure 3.
1. Suspend the hoist.Carefully lower the load block to a point
where the slack-end loop of the chain hangs down 6" or
more from the hoist housing (or the limit desired in any
particular application allowing the minimum 6").There
should be a minimum clearance of 1½" between the chain
stop and bottom of hoist.
2. DISCONNECT HOIST FROM POWER SUPPLY and
remove the electrical cover.
3. With a screwdriver, pry the spring guide plate out of the slots
in the limit switch nuts.
4. Turn the slotted silver nut toward its limit switch until the
switch “clicks,” then turn two slots farther.Release the spring
guide plate and be sure it slips back in the slots in both limit
switch nuts.Do not disturb the gold slotted nut if it has been
set previously.

Check Both Upper and Lower Limits
1. Connect the hoist to the power supply. Be sure the green
ground wire is properly grounded (See Installation 3-b,
page 5).
2. Check load hook direction (See Installation 3-c, page 5).
3. Carefully raise load block to upper limit and observe if it
stops automatically at desired level.Do not allow load block
to run into hoist housing — this will damage the hoist.
Maintain a minimum clearance of 2" from the hoist housing
and the top of the load block on single-chained models and
1" from the chain support to the top of the load block on
double-chained models.
4. Carefully lower load block to lower limit and observe if it
stops automatically at the desired level.Do not allow slack-
end loop of chain to become taut against hoist housing.This
will damage the hoist.There should be a minimum clearance
of 1½" between the chain stop and the bottom of the hoist.
5. If upper and lower limits operate satisfactorily, hoist is ready
for use.If they are not as desired, repeat adjustment.
BRAKE
Properly adjusted, this brake will release promptly when
energized.It is capable of both smoothly stopping and securely
holding the rated capacity of the hoist.If the hoist develops
either undesirable over-travel after the pushbutton is released
(this condition is most noticeable in the lowering direction) or
hesitates to lift the load promptly when the pushbutton is
depressed (this condition is most noticeable in the hoisting
direction), the brake should be adjusted.
Brake Adjustment
Refer to Figure 5.
1. DISCONNECT HOIST FROM POWER SUPPLY and
remove the electrical cover.
2. With reference to Figure 5, the gap between the brake
armature “A” and the field “B”should be checked.The
correct gap is 0.015".Adjustment should not be necessary
until gap reaches 0.040".
3.Adjust the gap using a 9/16" socket on the 3 locknuts “F”.
Check with a feeler gauge to be sure the gap is the same on
both ends of the solenoid.
4. Adjustment is now complete and the brake properly set.
Replace the electrical cover, reconnect the power supply,
and check hoist brake action.
HOIST CONTROLS
Both the pushbutton and the reversing contactor are
mechanically interlocked to prevent shorting the circuit and
causing serious damage.As part of maintenance, always
check for proper closure of contact points as well as for burned
contacts.If replacement is necessary, see Figures 16, 17, 18,
and 19 for replacement parts.
WIRING
Refer to Figures 9A, 9B, 9C & 9D.
Single-phase units (115/230V) are shipped wired for 115V
and the 1-speed, 230/460V-3 phase units are wired for 460V
unless otherwise specified when ordered.Hoists wired for
other voltages and 2-speed units are single voltage only.
Conversion of dual-voltage hoists to either the higher or lower
voltage can be done simply and quickly as follows:
1. DISCONNECT HOIST FROM POWER SUPPLY and
remove the electrical cover.
2. Each dual-voltage hoist has a terminal block assembly for
the interconnection of the electrical components of the hoist.
To convert the voltage, reconnect the leads to the terminal
blocks according to the wiring diagram located inside the
electrical cover or Figures 9A, 9B, 9C and 9D.
DO NOT move any wires or make any changes to the
electrical circuit except at the terminal block assembly.
Tug on wires to ensure they are securely connected.
3. After converting the voltage, recheck phasing and limit
switch operation (See INSTALLATION 3-c & 5, page 5).
IMPORTANT: Always refer to the wiring diagram located on
the inside of the electrical cover or Figures 9A, 9B, 9C and 9D
when performing electrical repairs.Make sure all connections
are secure and check for damaged insulation.It is also
imperative that the power circuit has conductors of adequate
size (SeeTable 5).
LUBRICATION
Refer to Figure 11.
Proper lubrication is necessary for a long and relatively trouble-
free hoist operation.Refer to the following and the
RECOMMENDED LUBRICATION SCHEDULE for lubrication
points, type of lubricant, and frequency of lubrication.
Load Chain
Clean the load chain with acid-free solvent and coat with SAE
90 gear oil.Wipe excess oil to prevent dripping. Never apply
grease to the chain.
Gearing
The gear case of this hoist is filled at assembly with
approximately 1½ pints of SAE 90 EP gear oil.Check oil level
by removing the oil level check plug from the side of the hoist.
With the hoist hanging level, gear oil should be even with the
hole.Change oil periodically depending on the severity of the
application and the environmental conditions (at least every
200 hours of run time).

Bearings
All bearings except hook and idler sheave bearings are
lubricated at the factory and should not require additional
lubrication. Noisy or worn bearings should be replaced.
Limit Switch Shaft
Remove any dirt accumulation and spray with a general
purpose lubricant.
Hook Bearing
Apply a few drops of SAE 30 gear or motor oil around the edge
of the bearing.
Idler Sheave Bearing (Bushing)
Disassemble load block and apply a light coat of NLGI #2
grease, or equivalent, inside of bearing.
HOIST REPAIRS
1. For major repairs or when the hoist is to be sectioned in the
suspension area, it will be necessary to move the hoist to a
workbench or table.
2. For repairs which can be done by removing the electrical
cover only, the hoist need not be moved.Lowering the hoist
to a convenient working level is desirable.
NOTE: If you do not have an experienced mechanic to do your
repair work, we recommend that you send your hoist to an
approved service station for repairs.Use authorized repair
parts only.
The following repair instructions will help you in understanding
repair procedures, when related to the Replacement Parts
List starting on page 18. For clarity these are broken down
into areas.
Electrical Parts and Brake
1. Refer to Figures 15, 16 and 17. Remove the cover to access
the controls.Single-phase models also have a starting switch
and capacitor mounted on the panel as shown in Figure 16.
The terminal blocks and end clamps snap off of the rails on
the plate using a small screwdriver.DO NOT SLIDETHE END
CLAMPS.
The reversing contactor can be slid off the rail, but it must be
snapped on.Where the contactor fits the rail, one side has
springs or pads that apply pressure against the edge of the
rail.By pressing against that side at the base of the contactor,
you can snap the part on or off using a rotating action. Note
the numbers that label the terminals on the contactor and
orient the part as shown in Figures 9A-9D. Single-phase
contactors have a small jumper that is not present on the
3-phase (note the 3 and 5 terminals on the reversing
contactor in Figure 9A).
2. Remove the electrical panel by removing the stand-off
screws (See Figures 16 & 17).The limit switch and brake are
now accessible as shown in Figure 6.

POWER CORD PRECAUTIONS WITH 1-PHASE HOISTS
Electric hoists require a sufficient power supply. It is especially important with single-phase voltage to ensure that the
conductors running to the hoist from the power source are adequate in size to handle the power requirements of the hoist.
Inadequate power cables and branch circuits will cause low voltage, high amperage, damage to the hoist, and potential fire
hazards.Such problems can be minimized by using 230V power on 115/230V hoists.The following are recommendations for the
conductor gage size depending on the length, horsepower, and voltage.
