Product Description
The Hercu-Lin ™ air-powered hoist consists pri arily
of a power head asse bly that acts as control for lower
hook block ove ent. The power head asse bly is
ade up of three ain sections: gear reducer section,
brake/ otor section and sheave section.
The output shaft fro piston otor is connected to
brake shaft. The brake shaft is connected to drive shaft
by way of a coupling that passes through center of
brake and sheave section and acts as sun gear for first
stage planetary reducer. The gear reducer section
consists of three planetary asse blies with each
planetary asse bly being driven by sun gear fro
previous planetary asse bly. Output fro planetary
reduction section is trans itted directly to load chain
sheave(s).
The otor-driven brake shaft is connected to brake
through a sprag clutch. In hoist “UP” direction, clutch
allows shaft to rotate without releasing brake. No air
pressure is applied to brake piston in “UP” direction.
The brake shaft cannot rotate in hoist “DOWN”
direction until brake has been released. Brake is
released by air pressure applied to annular brake
piston and piston co presses brake springs, releasing
brake discs. There are four sintered, bronze-type brake
friction discs and five stationary brake discs.
The brake piston is actuated by air fro ain control
valve. When control pendant “DOWN” button is
pushed, it oves ain control valve spool. The spool is
designed to send air to brake in “DOWN” direction
only. When pendant “DOWN” button is released,
exhaust valves allow brake to set quickly and avoid
downward load drift.

provider for any parts/service/ inspection/support
related needs.

Installation
Prior to installing the product, carefully inspect it for
possible shipping da age. Products are supplied fully
lubricated fro the factory. Check oil levels and adjust
as necessary before operating product. Refer to
“LUBRICATION,” p. 13 section for reco ended oils
and lubrication intervals. Lubricate load chain before
operating hoist.
WWAARRNNIINNGG
• Product not installed properly may fall or
cause a load to fall resulting in severe
injury or death. Before installation refer
to Product Safety Manual and all safety
warnings pertaining to this product.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
• Owners and users are advised to
examine specific, local or other
regulations, including American Society
of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and/or
OSHA Regulations which may apply to a
particular type of use of this product
before installing or putting product to
use.
Re ove cover fro shipping crate. Carefully re ove
packing straps. Attach wire rope sling to lifting lugs on
trolley side plates and slowly lift into position.
Attach chain container to hoist with chain container
hardware, bolt chain to bracket under trolley
suspension yoke.
Air Supply
The air supply ust be clean, free fro oisture and
lubricated to ensure opti u otor perfor ance.
Foreign particles, oisture and lack of lubrication are
the pri ary causes of pre ature otor wear and
breakdown. Using an air filter, lubricator and oisture
separator will i prove overall product perfor ance
and reduce unscheduled downti e. Refer to Figure 4,
p. 16.
Refer to Table 2, p. 6 for otor air consu ption and
rated operating pressure. If air supply varies fro what
is reco ended, product perfor ance be di inished.
A lockable shut off valve and a pressure relief valve set
to 125 psi should be installed in the air supply line.
Air Lines
Inside dia eter of air supply lines ust not be less
than 1-1/2 inch. Before aking final connections, all air
supply lines should be purged with clean, oisture free
air or nitrogen before connecting to ain air inlet.
Supply lines should be as short and straight as
installation conditions will per it. Long trans ission
lines and excessive use of fittings, elbows, tees, globe
valves, etc. cause a reduction in pressure due to
restrictions and surface friction in lines.
Air Line Lubricator
Always use an air line lubricator with these otors. The
lubricator ust have an inlet and outlet at least as large
as inlet on otor anifold.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
• Lubricator must be located no more than
10 ft. (3 m) from motor.
• Shut off air supply before filling air line
lubricator.
The air line lubricator should be replenished daily and
set to provide 3 to 9 drops. Refer to Table 4, p. 13. A
fine ist will be exhausted fro control valve when air
line lubricator is functioning properly.
Air Line Filter
It is reco ended that an air line strainer/filter be
installed before the lubricator to prevent dirt fro
entering the otor. The strainer/filter should provide
20 icron filtration and include a oisture trap. Clean
the strainer/filter periodically to aintain its operating
efficiency.
NNOOTTIICCEE
• When air filter is used ensure it allows air
to pass through at products rated scfm.
Refer to Table 2, General Specifications.
Air Pressure Regulator
If an air pressure regulator is used, install between
lubricator and filter.
Moisture in Air Lines
Moisture that reaches the air otor through air supply
lines is a pri ary factor in deter ining the length of
ti e between service overhauls. Moisture traps can
help to eli inate oisture. Other ethods, such as an
air receiver which collects oisture before it reaches
otor, or an after-cooler at co pressor that cools air to
condense and collect oisture prior to distribution
through supply lines, are also helpful.
Mufflers
Ensure ufflers are installed in hoist and trolley and
control valve exhaust port. Check ufflers periodically
to ensure they are functioning correctly.
Shut Off Valve
Refer to the Product Safety Infor ation Manual for
infor ation.

Hoist and Trolley Motors
For opti u perfor ance and axi u durability of
parts, provide an air supply to operate hoist and trolley
otors with 105 psi at 280 scf (700 kPa/7 bar at 8 cu.
/ ).
Note: Contact Technical Support Department for
operating requirements with optional 60 psi (400
k a/4 bar system).
Mounting
Make certain your hoist is properly installed. A little
extra ti e and effort in doing so can contribute a lot
toward preventing accidents and helping you get the
best service possible.
Always ake certain the supporting e ber fro
which the hoist is suspended is strong enough to
support the weight of the hoist plus the weight of the
axi u rated load plus a generous factor of at least
500% of the co bined weights.
WWAARRNNIINNGG
• Ensure mounting structure is adequate
to hold the hoist and rated load, refer to
Table 2, General Specifications.
Installing Trolley Over End of
Beam

procedure which follows.
Installing Trolley from
Underneath Beam
Refer to Figure 3, p. 16 and Figure 5, p. 17.
1. Measure bea flange width ‘Y’ and co pare with
easure ent between trolley wheel flanges ‘X’.
The correct total clearance (X-Y) between bea and
trolley wheel flanges is 1/16 to 3/16 in. (1.6 to 4.7
).
2. To adjust trolley wheel spacing re ove eight cotter
pins (173) and four pins (174) at each side plate
(150) or (184). Re ove adjusting spacers (156) and
side plates and add or subtract an equal nu ber of
adjusting spacers (156) between suspension yokes
(170) and side plates.
3. When desired trolley wheel spacing easure ent
is achieved, install re aining adjusting spacers
(156) on outside of one pair of side plates. Install
suspension yoke pins (174) and cotter pins (173) on
ends of suspension yokes (170) bend ends apart to
secure. Use lifting lugs on trolley side plates to
adequately support hoist and side plates and raise
into place on bea flange.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
• To avoid an unbalanced load which may
damage trolley, hoist must be centered
under trolley using spacers (156).
4. Using lifting lugs on second pair of trolley side
plates raise into place beneath bea flange. Slide
side plates onto suspension yokes and push side
plates together.
5. Slide extra spacers (156) over free end of
suspension yoke (170). Insert suspension yoke pin
(174) into hole in suspension yoke (170). Secure by
installing cotter pins (173) and bending ends apart.
NNOOTTIICCEE
• Trolley wheels ride on top of lower flange
of beam.
6. The pin (174) and outside spacers (156) ust hold
trolley to adjust ent in step 1. If side plates can be
spread farther apart, install ore outside spacers
(156) between side plate (150) and pin (174).
7. Measure bea flange width ‘Y’ and co pare with
easure ent between rollers ‘Z’. Side roller
spacing easure ent should be 1/16 to 3/16 in. (1.6
to 4.7 ) greater than bea flange width.

sideplate.
2. Loosen ja nut and rotate adjust ent screw to
achieve clearance.
3. Tighten ja nut and ounting screws.
If a larger adjustment is required.
1. Add shi s between rack seg ent and bea to
decrease distance.
Installing Rac Segments Onto Beam
Refer to Figure 7, p. 17 and Figure 8, p. 17.
Rack seg ents should be installed on the outside edge
of the lower flange of the trolley bea . Allow 1/4 inch
(6.5 ) clearance between the edge of the lower
flange and rack seg ent for fillet weld. The rack
seg ents should be cla ped tight against the lower
flange so that there is no sagging. Sagging of the rack
could cause the drive pinion to bind as it traverses
along the runway bea .
Racks are provided in seg ents. These seg ents
should be jack welded (refer to Figure 8, p. 17) in place
and the trolley traversed the entire length. During this
ove ent observe for any high or low spots and
correct. Also check each seg ent connection for drive
tooth contact and correct as necessary. When all
clearances are achieved, weld both sides of the rack to
the bea flange to prevent corrosion between the rack
seg ent and bea .
Chain Container
When a chain bucket is used, always connect the free
end of the chain to the hoist. Attach the chain container
to the hoist. Run botto block to the lowest point and
run hoist in the ‘UP‘ direction to feed the chain back
into the container.
WWAARRNNIINNGG
• Allow chain to pile naturally in the chain
container. Load chain that does not pile
naturally can chafe excessively, leading
to sparks.
NNOOTTIICCEE
• Make certain to adjust the balance chain
so that the chain container does not
contact the load chain.
Attaching Limit Stop
1. Install li it stop as described under ‘Load Chain
Replace ent‘.
2. Run hoist slowly in the both directions to verify
li it stops activate and hoist ceases to operate.

(20 ).
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
• To avoid damaging pendant hose, make
sure strain relief cable, not pendant
hose, is supporting weight of pendant.
Initial Operating Chec s
Hoists are tested for proper operation prior to leaving
factory. Before hoist is placed into service the following
initial operating checks should be perfor ed.
1. After installation of trolley ounted hoists, check to
ensure hoist is centered below trolley.
2. Re ove side plate connecting plates.
3. Check for air leaks in supply hose and fittings to
pendant, and fro pendant to anifold.
4. When first running hoist or trolley otors a s all
a ount of light oil should be injected into inlet
connection to allow good lubrication.
5. When first operating hoist and trolley it is
reco ended that otors be driven slowly in both
directions for a few inutes.
6. Operate trolley along entire length of bea .
7. Inspect hoist and trolley perfor ance when raising,
oving and lowering test load(s). Hoist and trolley
ust operate s oothly and at rated specifications
prior to being placed in service.
8. Check that trolley (if equipped) and hook ove ent
is in sa e direction as arrows or infor ation on
pendant control.
9. Raise and lower a light load to check operation of
hoist brake.
10. Check hoist operation by raising and lowering a
load equal to rated capacity of hoist 4 to 6 inches

The four ost i portant aspects of hoist operation are:
1. Follow all safety instructions when operating hoist
and trolley.
2. Allow only people trained in safety and operation of
this product to operate hoist and trolley.
3. Subject each hoist to a regular inspection and
aintenance procedure.
4. Be aware of hoist capacity and weight of load at all
ti es.
WWAARRNNIINNGG
• Only allow personnel trained in safety
and operation of this product to
operate hoist and trolley.
• Do not use this hoist for lifting,
supporting or transporting people or
lifting or supporting loads over
people.
Operators ust be physically co petent. Operators
should have no health condition which ight affect
their ability to react, and they ust have good hearing,
vision and depth perception. The hoist operator ust
be carefully instructed in his duties and ust
understand operation of hoist, including a study of the
anufacturer’s literature. The operator ust be aware
of proper ethods of rigging loads and should have a
good attitude regarding safety. It is the operator’s
responsibility to refuse to operate hoist under unsafe
conditions.
Hoist Controls
Accu-Trol®® Pendant Operation (Push
Button Type)
The pendant is a re ote control that allows the
operator to control the positioning of a load. The Accu-
Trol®Pendant is available with 4 or 6 buttons. Refer to
Accu-Trol®Pendant anual for nu ber MHD56014
for additional infor ation. A four-function pendant will
control trolley ove ent along the support bea and
hoist operation. A six function pendant would include
the above ove ents plus control a bridge asse bly
allowing hoist ove ent in four directions. Always
apply s ooth even pressure during operation, avoid
quick starts and abrupt stops. This will allow s oother
control of suspended loads and reduce undue stress on
co ponents.
Emergency Stop
The E ergency Stop button, when activated, will
i ediately stop all operations of the trolley and hoist.
The E ergency Stop button will re ain depressed
after activation. To reset E ergency Stop button, twist
(rotate) E ergency Stop button clockwise until button
releases and spring returns to its original position.
Depress “ON” button.

Inspection
1. Check hoist for oil leaks daily. I ediately repair
any leaks.
2. At the beginning of each shift operate the hoist in
both directions without a load. Ensure the otor
runs free, and that the brake(s) do not drag.
3. Keep hoist housings clean of dust and dirt build up
which ay cause heat build up and sparks.
Inspection infor ation is based in part on A erican
Standards of Mechanical Engineers Safety Codes
B30.16.
WWAARRNNIINNGG
• All new or repaired equipment should be
inspected and tested by Ingersoll Rand
trained technicians to ensure safe
operation at rated specifications before
placing equipment in service.
• Never use a hoist that inspection
indicates is damaged.
Frequent and periodic inspections should be
perfor ed on equip ent in regular service. Frequent
inspections are visual exa inations perfor ed by
operators or Ingersoll Rand trained inspectors and
include observations ade during routine equip ent
operation. Periodic inspections are thorough
inspections conducted by Ingersoll Rand trained
technicians. ASME B30.16 states inspection intervals
depend upon the nature of the critical co ponents of
the equip ent and the severity of usage. Refer to
‘Inspection Classifications’ chart and ‘Maintenance
Intervals’ chart in Product Maintenance Infor ation
Manual for reco ended aintenance intervals.
Careful inspection on a regular basis will reveal
potentially dangerous conditions while still in the early
stages, allowing corrective action to be taken before
the condition beco es dangerous.
Deficiencies revealed through inspection, or noted
during operation, ust be reported to designated
personnel to ensure corrective action is taken. A
deter ination as to whether a condition constitutes a
safety hazard(s) ust be decided, and the correction of
noted safety hazard(s) acco plished and docu ented
by written report before placing the equip ent in
service.
Frequent Inspection
On equip ent in continuous service, a “Daily
Inspection,” p. 11 shall be ade by the operator at the
beginning of each shift and a ‘Quarterly Inspection’ (90
days) should be conducted during regular service for
any da age or evidence of alfunction.
Daily Inspection
Co plete inspections prior to start of daily tasks.
Conduct visual inspections during regular operation for
indications of da age or evidence of alfunction (such
as abnor al noises).
1. Lubricator: Adjust air line lubricator drops during
hoist operation, refer to “LUBRICATION,” p. 13
section for require ents.
2. Surrounding Area: Visually check hoist for oil leaks.
Do not operate hoist if leaking oil is found. Ensure
surrounding area has no slippery surfaces and is
obstruction free.
3. Hoses and Fittings: Visually inspect for da age, air
leaks, and loose connections. Repair all leaks or
da age and tighten loose connections prior to
starting daily tasks.
4. Hoist: Check for visual signs or abnor al noises
(grinding, etc.) which could indicate a potential
proble . Make sure all controls function properly.
Check chain feed through hoist and botto block. If
chain binds, ju ps, is excessively noisy or “clicks,”
clean and lubricate chain. If proble persists,
replace chain. Do not operate hoist until all
proble s have been corrected.
5. Upper and Lower Limit Device: Test operation with
no load slowly in both extre es of travel. Upward
travel ust stop when chain stop on the botto
block hits hoist li it switch. Downward travel ust
stop when the chain stop attached to the end of the
unloaded load chain activates li it switch.
6. Controls: During operation of the hoist, verify that
response to pendant is quick and s ooth. Ensure
controls return to neutral when released. If hoist
responds slowly or ove ent is unsatisfactory, do
not operate the hoist under load conditions until all
proble s have been corrected.
7. Bra e: During operation test brake. Brake ust be
capable of supporting load without slipping. Brake
ust stop the load when control returns to neutral.
If brake does not hold load or does not stop the load
properly, brake ust be further inspected.
WWAARRNNIINNGG
• Worn or improperly functioning
brakes may cause excessive heat
build up and sparks.
8. Hoo s: Check for wear or da age, increased throat
width, bent shank or twisting of the hook. Replace if
hook latch snaps past tip of hook. Check hooks
swivel freely. Replace hooks which exceed the
throat opening. Refer to Figure 12, p. 18. Replace
hooks which exceed a 10° twist. Refer to Figure 13,
p. 18. If hook latch snaps past tip of hook, the hook
is sprung and ust be replaced. Refer to the latest
edition of ASME B30.10 ‘HOOKS‘ for additional
infor ation. Check hook support bearings for
lubrication or da age. Ensure that they swivel
easily and s oothly. Refer to Product Maintenance
Infor ation Manual.
9. Hoo Latch: Make sure hook latch is present and
not da aged. Replace if necessary.

12
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
• Do not use hoist if hook latch is
missing or damaged.
10. Load Chain: Exa ine each of the links for bending,
cracks in weld areas or shoulders, traverse nicks
and gouges, weld splatter, corrosion pits, striation
( inute parallel lines) and chain wear, including
bearing surfaces between chain links. Refer to
Figure 14, p. 18. Visually inspect as uch of the
chain as is possible. Inspect for wear, da age and
corrosion. If da age is evident, do not operate
hoist until the da age has been reviewed and
inspected further by an Ingersoll Rand trained
inspector. Refer to Product Maintenance
Infor ation Manual.
NNOOTTIICCEE
• The full extent of chain wear cannot
be determined by visual inspection. At
any indication of wear inspect chain in
accordance with instructions in
‘Periodic Inspection‘. Refer to Product
Maintenance Information Manual.
11. Load Chain Reeving: Ensure welds on standing
links are away fro load sheave. Reinstall chain if
necessary. Refer to Product Maintenance
Infor ation Manual. Make sure chain is not
capsized, twisted or kinked. Adjust as required.
Refer to MHP0043 in Product Safety Infor ation
Manual.
12. Label and Tags: Check for presence and legibility.
Replace if necessary.
Load Chain Reports
Records should be aintained docu enting condition
of load chain re oved fro service as part of a long-
range chain inspection progra . Accurate records will
establish a relationship between visual observations
noted during “Frequent Inspection,” p. 11 and actual
condition of load chain as deter ined by ‘Periodic
Inspections‘. Refer to Product Maintenance Infor ation
Manual for chain specifications.
Hoists Not in Regular Use
1. Equip ent which has been idle for a period of one
onth or ore, but less than six onths, shall be
given an inspection confor ing to the
require ents of “Frequent Inspection,” p. 11
section before being placed in service.
2. Equip ent which has been idle for a period of over
six onths shall be given a co plete inspection
confor ing with require ents of ‘Periodic
