14. NOT use load chain as a sling or wrap load chain around
load.

15. NOT apply the load to the tip of the hook or to the
hook latch.

16. NOT apply load unless load chain is properly seated in
the chain wheel(s) or sproket(s).

17. NOT apply load if bearing prevents equal loading on all
load supporting chains.

18. NOT operate beyond the limits of the load chain travel.

19. NOT leave load supported by the hoist unattended

Terms of Sale, see Sales Order
Acknowledgement. Also, refer to the
back cover for Limitations of
Warranties, Remedies and Damages,
and Indemnification and Safe
Operation.

Installation

Before installing the hoist:

1. Estimate the weight of the load that

is to be lifted or moved and make
sure it does not exceed the rated load
of the hoist.

2. Make sure the support or sling to

which the upper hook is attached is
strong enough to hold several times
the weight of the load to be lifted or
moved. Be sure the hoist is solidly
held in the uppermost part of the
upper hook and the latch is closed
and not in contact with the support
or sling.

3. The area in which the hoist is
installed must provide sufficient
room for:

-The operator to operate the lever.

-The operator and other personnel
to stand clear of the load at all
times.

-Firm footing for the operator.

-Clearance between the hoist frame
and any object. The frame must be
free to swivel on the upper hook.

Attaching the hoist from an inadequate
support may allow the hoist and load to fall
and cause injury and/or property damage.

TO AVOID INJURY:

Make sure the structure has sufficient
strength to hold several times the hoist
weight and its rated load.

Operation

If not used as directed, lever hoist may cause
injury.

TO AVOID INJURY:

Use only as directed below. Read all
instructions before operating the Series 653
Hand Operated Lever Hoist.

GENERAL

1. The hoist must be kept clean to
assure proper operation. Before use,
check to be sure the load chain is
clean, that there is no foreign
material in the liftwheel area and
that the lever operates freely.

2. Do not load beyond the rated
capacity. Overload can cause
immediate failure or cause damage
resulting in future failure, even at
less than rated capacity.

3. Do not use this hoist or any other
material handling equipment for
lifting or moving people, or lifting
loads over people.

4. Stand clear of all loads and warn
other people of your intention to
move a load in their area.

5. Do not leave a load on the unit
unattended.

6. Read warnings and instructions on
the hoist before each use.

7. Do not hold the load chain while
operating the hoist. Should the hoist
not operate properly, serious injury
may occur.

8. Never operate the hoist when
flammable materials or vapors are
present. Contact between metal parts
may produce sparks that can cause a
fire or explosion.

9. STAY ALERT! Watch what you are
doing and use common sense. Do
not use the hoist when you are tired,
distracted or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication causing
diminished control.

Malfunction of unit, rigging slip or loss of
footing may cause user to slip resulting in
injury.

TO AVOID INJURY:

Always have a firm and secure footing when
using the Series 653 Hand Operated Lever
Hoist.

FREE CHAINING

In this mode of operation, the chain can
be pulled through the hoist in either
direction by hand for quick attachment
to the load.

T o engage the free chaining feature,
remove any load from the hoist and
move the directional lever to the (“N”)
position.

3

T urn the free chaining knob counter ­clockwise ( ) to disengage the brake
and pull on either chain until the lower
hook is at the desired position. T o
disengage the free chaining feature,
move the directional lever to the load
(Ï) or unload position (Ð). Pull the load
chain in either direction to insure the
unit is out of the free chaining mode.

Do not take up the load chain to the
point where the chain stop or lower
hook block becomes jammed against
the frame.

ATTACHING THE LOAD

Attach the lower hook to the load so
that it is seated in the bowl of the hook
and is not bearing against the tip of the
hook or latch, and the latch is tight
against the hook tip.

Do not wrap the chain around the load
and hook onto itself as a choker chain
sling or bring the load in contact with
the hoist. Doing this will result in the
loss of the swivel effect of the hook
which could cause twisted chain and a
jammed liftwheel. Also, the chain may
be damaged at the hook. Make sure the
upper and lower hooks are in a straight
line and the frame is free to swivel on
the upper hook.

If the unit is not rigged in a straight line
hook to hook manner, and if the frame is not
free to swivel, lever pull may break frame
and cause physical injury and loss of load.

TO AVOID INJURY:

Rig the unit in a straight line hook to hook
manner and keep frame free to swivel (See
Figure 4).

Operation (Continued)

Upper Hook

TO PULL OR LIFT LOAD

Move directional lever to load (Ï)
position. Operate lever in up and down
motion to shorten the distance
between hooks and thus pull or lift the
load.

When pulling or lifting move the load
only enough to slightly load the unit,
then check to be sure that the
attachments to the hooks and load are
firmly seated. Continue movement only
after you are assured the load is free of
all obstructions.

The hoist has been designed for hand
powered operation only . Do not use an
extension on the lever. Lever pulls of 33
pounds on 3/4 ton unit, 44 pounds on 1
ton unit, 51 pounds on 1½ ton unit, 68
pounds on 2 ton unit and 77 pounds on
the 3 and 6 ton unit will result in rated
capacity on the unit. Any greater pull is
an indication of either an overload or
an incorrectly maintained unit.

TO LOOSEN OR LOWER LOAD

Move directional lever to unload (Ð)
position. Again, operate lever in an up
and down motion to increase the
distance between hooks and thus
loosen or lower the load.

LOCKED BRAKE

If a hoist which is under load is
suddenly relieved of the load by lifting
the load off of the lower hook by some
other means or pulling down walls, the
brake will lock.

The brake will also lock if the lower
hook block is pulled tightly against the
frame.

T o unlock the brake, turn the
directional lever to the unload (Ð)
position and pull on the lever sharply .

Power operation may cause structural
damage or premature wear that in turn
may cause a part to break and allow the
load to fall.

TO AVOID INJURY:

Operate the Series 653 Lever Hoist using
hand power only!

Allowing the load to bear against the hook
latch and/or hook tip can result in loss of
load.

TO AVOID INJURY:

Do not allow the load to bear against the
hook latch and/or hook tip. Apply load to
hook bowl or saddle only.

Figure 4 - Pulling at an Angle

Turning the Free Chaining Knob with a
load attached will allow the load to
release and may cause injury.

TO AVOID INJURY:

Never turn the Free Chaining Knob when
the lever hoist is under load.

INSPECT HOIST

Before each use and at specified
intervals as directed in the inspection
section.

1. DO NOT exceed capacity shown on
nameplate.

2. DO NOT use to lift people or loads over
people.

3. DO NOT use unless the hoist’s frame and
chain form a straight line between hooks.

4. DO NOT use if the frame is in contact with
any object.

5. DO NOT use if the unit is damaged or
malfunctions.

6. DO NOT use extension on lever. Use hand
power only.

7. DO NOT use if chain is twisted, kinked or
damaged.

Maintenance

INSPECTION

T o maintain continuous and satisfactory
operation, a regular inspection
procedure must be initiated so that
worn or damaged parts can be replaced
before they become unsafe. The
intervals of inspection must be
determined by the individual
application and are based upon the
type of service to which the hoist is
subjected. The intervals indicated as
follows are based on normal service.

The inspections are divided into two
general classifications designated as
“frequent” and “periodic”.

FREQUENT INSPECTIONS
These inspections are usually visual

examinations by the operator. Frequent
inspections are to be performed daily
or before each use and they are to
include:

1. Braking mechanism for evidence of
slippage.

2. Operation of the directional lever
for free movement.

3. Load chain for lubricant, wear,
damaged links or foreign material.

4. Hooks for damage, cracks, twists,
latch engagement and latch
operation.

PERIODIC INSPECTIONS
These are visual inspections of external

and internal conditions by a designated
person making records to provide the
basis for continuing evaluation of the
condition of the hoist. The periodic
inspection should include those items
listed under frequent inspection as well
as the following:

1. Chain for excessive wear or stretch
(See Figures 6 and 7, page 6) - every
three months.

2. Worn, cracked or distorted parts
such as lower hook block, upper
hook block, upper hook pin, chain
guide rollers, bushings, lever, brake
cover, free chaining knob, directional
pawl, friction hub and lever ratchet

- every three months.

3. Inspect for wear on the tip of the
pawls, teeth of the ratchet, and
pockets of the liftwheel - every three
months.

4. Loose or missing bolts, nuts, pins or
rivets - every three months.

5. Inspect the brake components for
worn, glazed or contaminated
friction discs and scoring of the
friction hub and ratchet. Replace
friction washers if contaminated,
glazed or if thickness is less than

0.094 in. (2.4 mm) - every three
months.

6. Corroded, stretched or broken pawl
springs, directional lever pawl spring
and lever ratchet spring - every three
months.

7. Hooks - dye penetrant, magnetic
particle or other suitable crack
detecting inspection should be
performed at least once a year, if
external conditions indicate there has
been unusual usage.

8. Nameplate and Warning Labels for
legibility and retension-every three
months.

9. Chain stop in place and properly
secured - every three months.

Any deficiency should be corrected
before the hoist is returned to service.
Also, the external conditions may show
the need for more detailed inspection
which, in turn, may require the use of
non-destructive type testing.

Any parts deemed unserviceable are to
be replaced with new parts before the
hoist is returned to service. It is very
important that the unserviceable parts

are destroyed and properly disposed of
to prevent their possible future use as a
repair item.

When the unit is subjected to heavy
usage or dusty , gritty, moist or corrosive
atmospheric conditions, shorter time
periods must be assigned. Inspection
must be made of all parts for unusual
wear, corrosion or damage, in addition
to those specifically mentioned in the
schedule.

HOOK INSPECTION
Hooks damaged from chemicals,

deformations or cracks, or that have
more than a 10° twist from the plane of
the unbent hook, excessive opening or
seat wear, must be replaced. Also,
hooks that are opened to the extent
that the latch does not engage the tip
must be replaced. Any hook that is
twisted or has excessive throat opening
indicates abuse or overloading of the
hoist. Other load sustaining parts
should be inspected for damage.

Check to assure the latch is not
damaged or bent and that it operates
properly . It should have sufficient
spring pressure to keep it tightly
against the tip of the hook and allow it
to spring back to the tip when released.
If the latch does not operate properly ,
replace the latch.

The chart above should be used to
determine when the hook must be
replaced.

LOAD CHAIN
Chain should feed smoothly into and

away from the hoist. If chain binds,
jumps or is noisy , first clean and
lubricate it (See Page 6). If trouble
persists, inspect chain and mating parts
for wear, distortion or other damage.

Use as directed above. Failure to do so
may cause injury to you or others.

Maintenance (Continued)

CHAIN INSPECTION
First clean chain with a non-caustic/ non-

acid type solvent and make a link by link
inspection for nicks, gouges, twisted
links, weld spatter, corrosion pits,
sitriations (minute parallel lines), cracks
in weld areas, wear and stretching.
Chain with any one of these defects
must be replaced.

Slack the portion of the chain that
normally passes over the liftwheel.
Examine the interlink area for the point
of maximum wear (polishing). Measure
and record the stock diameter at this
point of the link. Then measure stock
diameter in the same area on the link
that does not pass over the liftwheel
(use the link adjacent to the chain stop
for this purpose). Compare these two
measurements. If the stock diameter of the
worn link is 0.010 inches (0.254mm), or more,
less than the stock diameter of the unworn
link, the chain must bereplaced.

Also check chain for stretch using a
vernier caliper as shown in Figure 7.
Select an unused, unstretched section of
chain (usually at the loose end) and
measure and record the length over 11
chain links (pitches). Measure and
record the same length on a worn
section of chain.

If the result (amount of stretch and
wear) is greater than 0.145 inch (3.7
mm), the chain must be replaced.

Use only a “Knife-Edge” caliper to
eliminate possibility of false reading by
not measuring full pitch length.

Note that worn chain can be an
indication of worn hoist components.
For this reason, the hoist’s frame,
stripper, and liftwheel should be
examined for wear and replaced as
necessary when replacing worn chain
(See DISASSEMBLY and ASSEMBLY
below).
Also, the load chain is specially heat
treated and hardened and should never
be repaired.

IMPORTANT: Do not use replaced chain
for other purposes such as lifting or
pulling. Load chain may break suddenly
without visual deformation. For this
reason, cut replaced chain into short
lengths to prevent use after disposal.

CHAIN LUBRICA TION
A small amount of lubricant will greatly

increase the life of load chain. Do not
allow the chain to run dry . Keep it clean
and lubricate at regular intervals with
Lubriplate

®

Bar and Chain Oil 10-R (Fiske
Bros. Refining Co.) or equal lubricant.
Normally , weekly lubrication and
cleaning is satisfactory , but under hot
and dirty conditions, it may be necessary
to clean the chain at least once a day
and lubricate it several times between
cleanings.

When lubricating the chain, apply
sufficient lubricant to obtain natural
run-off and full coverage, especially in
the interlink area.

Hoist normally requires no additional
lubrication except when it had been
disassembled for cleaning or repairs.

IMPORTANT: 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 lubricant which could seep onto the
brake surfaces.

When the hoist is disassembled for
cleaning or repairs, the following
locations should be lubricated with
approximately 1 oz. per hoist of
Molykote BR-2-S (Dow Corning),
Molytex #2 (T exaco) or TopMoly
(T opsall) grease or equal lubricant:
gears, rollers of the liftwheel bearing,
exterior of pinion shaft, surfaces of
frame bushings and surface of gear
cover bushings. Be sure to thoroughly
clean the old grease from these parts
before re-lubricating.

IMPORTANT: To insure long life and top
performance, be sure to lubricate the
various parts of the hoist using the
lubricants specified above. If desired,
these lubricants can be purchased from
Columbus McKinnon (See Figure 13,
page 8).

DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY

The parts illustration and list on pages 12
and 13 show the general arrangement
and name of the parts of the Series 653
Lever Hoist. These should be used when
disassembling and re-assembling the
units so that all parts are properly
installed.

DISASSEMBLY
Points of caution to be observed upon

disassembly of the hoist are:

1. Loose rollers are used for the
liftwheel bearing, (refer to parts
list for number required). Care
must be taken so as to not loose
or misplace these rollers since
they may drop from the unit as
the various parts are disassembled.

Using other than Series 653 supplied load
chain may cause the chain to jam in the hoist
and/or allow the chain to break and the load
to drop.

TO AVOID INJURY:

Due to size requirements and physical
properties, use only Series 653 supplied load
chain in the Series 653 Lever Hoist.

Used motor oils contain known
carcinogenic materials.

TO AVOID INJURY:

Never use used motor oils as a chain lubricant.
Only use Lubriplate®Bar and Chain Oil 10-R as a
lubricant for the load chain.

Using any grease or lubricant on the
braking surfaces will cause brake slippage
and loss of load control which may result in
injury and/or property damage.

TO AVOID INJURY:

Do not use any grease or lubricant on
braking surfaces. The brake is designed to
operate dry.

Maintenance (Continued)

2. T o replace the liftwheel or stripper,
completely disassemble the unit:
remove the chain (See REPLACING
LOAD CHAIN, page 7) and then
remove the brake nut, cotter pin and
spacer (19), free chaining knob (17),
lever (16), check washer (18), lever
ratchet (33), brake cover (14), friction
discs (12), ratchet (13), spring (6) and
friction hub (11). On the gear side,
remove the gear cover (8), gears (5)
and pinion (7). Remove snap ring and
liftwheel gear (23). Being careful not
to loose the rollers, remove the side
plate assembly (1). Slide the liftwheel
(22) out of the side plate (2), being
careful not to loose the rollers. The
stripper (4) can also be removed now.

Prior to re-assembly , check all parts
for excessive wear, cracks and
distortion. Replace parts as necessary
and then re-assemble the unit in
reverse to the order given above,
making sure to install the chain guide
rollers (10) and upper hook (25) and
pin (26). After assembly , install the
chain (See REPLACING LOAD CHAIN,
page 7) and then test the unit (See
TESTING, page 8).

3. The latch is secured to the hook
(upper and lower) by a rivet. T o
remove the latch, it is necessary to
remove the head of the rivet by
grinding or drilling. For the
replacement of the latch, refer to
the paragraphs under assembly
instructions.

ASSEMBLY:

1. Thread the friction hub (11 ) onto the
pinion shaft (7 ) and assemble the
friction discs and the ratchet on the
friction hub (See Figure 8).

Place the spring (6) over the friction
hub and pinion. Place the brake cover
assembly (14) on the frame and thread
the lever ratchet (33) onto the pinion
shaft. Firmly seat the lever ratchet and
secure the brake cover assembly to the
frame using the four nuts (9).

Place the check washer (18) on the
pinion shaft so that there is 0.094 to

0.312 inches (2 to 8 mm) between the
edge of the check washer and the
raised stop on the lever ratchet hub
(See Figure 9).

Make sure the directional lever is in
the neutral (“N”) position and the
pawl, spring and shaft (20) are in the
lever assembly (16), attach the lever
assembly to the brake cover (14) using
the two locknuts, screw and
lockwasher (15). Place the free
chaining knob (17) on the lever
ratchet hub (33). Place the spacer (19)
over the pinion shaft, thread the
brake nut (19) onto the pinion shaft,
and firmly tighten the nut. Back off
the nut one to two flats and insert the
cotter pin (19). Bend the legs of the
cotter pin to secure.

2. When assembling the latch to the
hook, the end of the rivet must be
peened over. When peening over
rivet, only apply enough force to form
a head to retain the pin. Excessive
force will deform the latch and make
the latch inoperable.

3. When assembling the gears, they
must be orientated with the timing
marks aligned (See Figure 10).

REPLACING LOAD CHAIN
T o replace the load chain, remove the

lower hook block and chain stop from
the chain. Move the directional lever to
the neutral “N” and pull the old chain
out of the hoist. Feed a length of soft
wire through one side of the chain
guide roller and over the liftwheel until
it comes out on the other side of the
chain guide roller. Attach the wire to

the end of the new chain. Position the
chain so that the first link to enter the
chain guide roller will be an upstanding
link and the welds on all upstanding
links will be away from the liftwheel.
Pull on the wire until the chain engages
the liftwheel. T urn the free chaining
knob, while pulling on the wire, until
the chain comes out of the chain guide
roller. Pull the chain through and
remove the wire. On the 3/4, 1, 1 1/2, 2

and 3 T on units attach the lower hook
block to the chain that is directly below
the upper hook. On the 6 T on unit,
reeve the chain as shown below. Attach
the chain stop to the other end of the
chain.

RECOMMENDED SPARE PARTS

To insure continued operation, it is
recommended that two friction
discs (12) for each Series 653 lever
hoist in service, be kept on hand
at all times to replace friction
washers that are worn,contamin­ated or glazed.

Maintenance (Continued)

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
In addition to the inspection

procedures, a preventative maintenance
program should be established to
prolong the useful life of the hoist and
maintain its dependability and
continued safe use. The program should
include the periodic inspections with
particular attention being paid to the
lubrication of various components using
the recommended lubricants (See
Figure 13).

TESTING
Prior to initial use, all repaired or used

hoists that have not been operated for
the previous 12 months shall be tested
by the user for proper operation.

T est the unit first in the unloaded state
and then with a light load of 100
pounds (45 kg.) times the number of
load supporting parts of load chains to
be sure it operates properly and the
brake holds the load when the lever is
released; then test with a load of 125%
of rated capacity .

In addition, hoists in which load
sustaining parts have been replaced
must be tested with 125% of rated
capacity by or under the direction of a
designated person and a written report
prepared for record purposes.

NOTE: For additional information on
Inspection and T esting refer to ASME
