operate. See Section 3.2.
3.1.2
supply is the primary source of lubrication to the hoist. Therefore, a dedicated air supply lubricator must
be used with the hoist. Refer to Section 3.3.
3.1.3
ensure its proper operation. The air must be clean and free of debris such as dirt and rust. Refer to
Section 3.4 for filtration requirements. The air must also be dry; free of moisture and water. Refer to
Section 3.5.
Pressure and Flow - Verify that the air supply system has capacity to supply your
Lubrication - The hoist requires lubrication for proper operation. The oil in the air
Air Quality - Good air quality is essential to prevent damage to your hoist and to
3.2 Air Supply Capacity And Regulation
3.2.1 Capacity - The air supply system must be capable of delivering the required airflow (cfm) to the hoist
inlet port. Without the required airflow the hoist will not operate properly or may not operate at all. See
Section 2.0 for your hoists air consumption requirements. In determining if your system is capable of
supplying the required airflow, consider the following:
Capacity of compressor(s) and tank
Other air consuming equipment
Flow restrictions such as pipes, hoses, valves and fittings
Inadequate capacity will cause a significant drop in pressure when the hoist is operated, and could
cause poor performance or failure to operate.
3.2.2 Regulation - The hoist requires a constant supply of air at a pressure of between 60 and 90 psi. If the
air supply is not regulated or is regulated at a pressure greater than 90 psi, then a regulator must be
used. The regulator may be located anywhere upline of the lubricator in the air supply to the hoist.
3.3 Lubrication
3.3.1
as follows:
1) Best location - At the hoist inlet. In this case the lubricator can be either the mist type or drop
type.
2) Second best location - No more than 15 feet away from the hoist, at the same elevation or
above the hoist inlet. In this case the mist type lubricator must be used.
3) Third best location - No more than 15 feet away below the hoist. In this case the mist type
lubricator must be used.

supply system to ensure that dry air
this moisture will cause corrosion on internal hoist components during periods when the hoist is idle leading to
hoist malfunction.
3.6 Piping, Hoses And Fittings
3.6.1
Since moisture tends to accumulate in compressed air systems, corrosion may result if the system is
not periodically drained.
Arrange for a drain in the air supply piping at the lowest point in the piping, and
Periodically drain the system to remove moisture/water from the system and to prevent corrosion.
Filter, reg ulator (if equipped), and lubricator must be arranged in the order shown in Figure 3-2.
System Configuration - The system should be configured as shown in Figure 3-1.
To prevent corrosion and hoist malfunction, employ an air dryer in the air
is supplied to the hoist. If there is moisture in the air supplied to the hoist,

• Maintain a firm footing or be otherwise secured
when operating the hoist.
• Check brake funct ion by tensioning the hoist prior
to each lift operation.
• Use hook latches. Latches are to retain slings,
chains, etc. under slack conditions only.
• Make sure the hook latches are closed and not
supporting any parts of the load.
• Make sure the load is free to move and will clear all
obstructions.
• Avoid swinging the load or hook.
• Make sure hook travel is in the same direc tion as
shown on controls.
• Inspect the hoist regularly, replace damaged or
worn parts, and keep appropriate records of
maintenance.
4.3 Hoist Controls
4.3.1 For hoists mounted to motorized trolleys follow the control instruction included in the trolley ‘s Owner’s
Manual.
• Use the hoist manufacturer’s recommended parts
when repairing the unit.
• Lubricate load chain per hoist manufacturer’s
recommendations.
• NOT use the hoist load limiting or warning device to
measure load.
• NOT use limit switches as r outine operating stops.
They are emergency devices only.
• NOT allow your attention to be diverted from
operating the hoist.
• NOT allow the hoist to be subjected to sharp
contact with other hoists, structures, or objects
through misuse.
• NOT adjust or repair the hoist unless qualified to
perform such adjustments or repairs.
4.3.2 Pendant Control - When using the pendant control depress the up lever to raise the hoist or the down
lever to lower the hoist as shown in Figure 4-1 below. To stop motion release the lever switches.
Figure 4-1Pendant Control
25
Page 26
4.3.3 Cord Control - When using a hoist with cord control, pull down on the appropriate colored cord to raise
or lower the hoist. White indicates the raise control and red indicates lowering control. Release the
cords to stop the hoist. Refer to Figure 4-2 below.
Figure 4-2Cord Control
4.3.4
4.4 Adjusting the Controls
4.4.1 For pendant control, the speed can be adjusted by the amount the lever is depressed. As shown below
in Figure 4-3, by depressing the lever slightly, you will be able control the hoist’s motions slowly and
with more precision. By depressing the lever further, the speed of the hoist will be increased until the
lever is fully depressed.
4.4.2 By adjusting the set screw in the pendant, the control can be adjusted to suit the user’s needs.
Adjusting the screw does not affect the speed of the hoist; it simply changes the feel or stiffness of the
lever control. Adjusting the screw sets the position of a small spring plunger and this affects how the
plunger interacts with the lever.
Turning the screw in causes the spring plunger to be in contact with the lever for more of the lever’s
travel, resulting in more stiffness and better feel for finer control of hoist motions.
Turning the screw out reduces the effect that the spring plunger has on the lever control. This
makes it easier to depress the lever, which is usually preferred for coarse control (more on/off than
variable) of hoist motions.
Make sure the motor completely stops before reversing direction.
Figure 4-3Pendant Control Adjustment
4.4.3 For the cord type control, adjust the speed by varying the amount of pull on the cord. Refer to Figure
4-4.

Page 27
Figure 4-4Cord Control Speed Adjustment
4.5 Operation of the Load Limiter
4.5.1 If a hoist is used to lift a load that exceeds the hoists rated capacity, the load limiter will cause the hoist
to automatically stop lifting.
4.5.2 If the hoist stops lifting automatically, lower and remove the load from the hoist.
4.5.3 If the load is at or below the hoist’s capacity rating and the hoist stops lifting automatically, the load
limiter may need adjustment.
Check air line pressure to ensure adequate pressure at the hoist.
If pressure is adequate, adjust the load limiter. For load limiter adjustment, refer to Section 7.

7.0 Maintenance and H andling
7.1 Load Limiter
7.1.1 The purpose of the load limiter is to prevent using the hoist in an overload situation. When lifting, the
hoist will stop automatically if the load is above the rated capacity of the hoist.
7.1.2 The adjustment is factory set to actuate at approximately125% of rated capacity (based on supply air
pressure of 90 PSI). Note: the load limiter may need adjustment to compensate for air supply
pressures significantly less than 90 PSI.
Figure 7-1Load Limiter screw adjustment location
7.1.3 Adjustment Procedure
1)Before proceeding with the load limiter adjustment, note the following:
a.
in the adjustment procedure should read, understand, and follow Section 4, "Operation".
b. For the adjustment procedure, the hoist should be connected to an air supply (see Section 3.1)
and it should initially be without a load on its hook.
c. Start this procedure with an unloaded hoist. All adjustments to the load limiter should be made
with the load in a resting position so that the load chain is not tensioned.
d. For the adjustment procedure: OUT means the counter-clockwise (CCW) direction, and IN
means the clockwise (CW) direction.
e. The pressure of the air supply at the hoist’s inlet port (acceptable range is 60 to 90 PSI) affects
the performance of your air hoist, including the actuation point of the load limiter. Therefore,
ensure that during the adjustment procedure the air pressure at the hoist's inlet port is the
same as that which the hoist will experience in normal operation. The relationship between air
supply pressure and load limiter actuation is:
for a given load limiter setting, as pressure decreases, the actuation point increases.
Adjusting the load limiter involves operating the hoist. Personnel involved
36
Page 37
f. When the load limiter is adjusted and working properly, the hoist will operate and lift the load a
short distance before the load limiter automatically stops lifting.
2)Refer to Figure 7-1. Loosen the lock nut and slowly turn the adjustment screw OUT until it is loose
and no longer is in contact with the internal load limiter spring – as this occurs the screw should
become easier to turn. Stop turning the screw once it is loose and easier to turn.
3)Turn the adjustment screw IN just enough so that it begins to contact the internal load limiter spring
– as this occurs the screw should become slightly harder to turn.
4)Put a load equal to the desired actuation point on the hoist's hook (do not exceed 125% of the
hoist's rated capacity). Begin to slowly lift the load, then increase the lifting speed. Return the load
to its resting position so the load chain is not under tension.
5) If the load limiter prevents lifting, turn the adjustment screw IN one full turn.
6) Repeat steps 4 and 5 until the load limiter allows lifting.
7) Turn the adjustment screw OUT ¾ of a turn.
8) Attempt to lift the rated capacity load again, beginning slowly, then increasing the lifting speed.
9) If the load limiter does not allow lifting, then turn the adjustment screw IN ¼ turn.
10) Repeat steps 8 and 9 until the load limiter allows lifting.
11) Turn the adjustment screw IN ¼ turn. Then, while holding the adjustment screw, tighten the lock
nut to secure the setting.
7.2 Brake
7.2.1 The hoist brake is not adjustable.
7.2.2 Inspect the brake disc in accordance with Section 5.7, Table 5-3.
7.2.3 The following is the hoist brake inspection procedure. Refer to Figure 7-2.
Turning the adjustment screw IN 8 full turns or more will disable the load limiter.
1)
HAZARDOUS AIR PRESSURE IS PRESENT IN THE HOIST, IN THE
SUPPLY OF COMPRESSED AIR TO THE HOIST, AND IN THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN
COMPONENTS. Shut off the air supply and stop the airflow completely. Lock out and tag out in
accordance with ANSI Z244.1 “Personnel Protection -Lockout/Tagout of Energy Sources”.
2)Gradually back out all four hex socket cap screws (A) from brake cover (B) from gear case (J) to
slowly decrease spring tension (K) of brake piston (D) against brake disc (I).
3)Remove brake cover (B) from top of gear case (J). Keep brake piston (D), springs (K), seals and
piston cover (C) together inside the brake cover. Do not remove cap screws (E). Set parts aside
for reassembly.
4) Remove retaining ring (F) on pinion shaft (H) adjacent to brake disc (I).
5) Remove brake disc for inspection and measurement and then the two keys (G) from each side of
pinion shaft (H). Refer to "Motor Brake" in Table 5-3, "Hoist Inspection Methods and Criteria".
6)Prior to reassembly, clean all surfaces of debris, dirt and loose paint. Apply a light film of grease to
all "O"-ring seals.
7)Reassemble in reverse order. Keep the small hole on the back of the brake piston (D) aligned
toward the top of the hoist. Torque all mounting hardware evenly during the reassembly process.

7.5 Load Sheave Inspection
7.5.1 Perform this inspection by removing the chain separator and viewing the load sheave while operating
the hoist slowly, with no load, and in accordance with Section 4 “Operation”. Refer to Figure 7-8and
remove the chain separator as follows.
TCR3000 and TCR6000-2: The chain separator can be removed by removing the shaft retaining
ring from its groove on the limit lever shaft adjacent to the valve section, sliding the limit lever
assembly away from the chain separator, and removing the two larger outboard hex socket screws
holding the chain separator to the hoist body.
TCR250 through TCR2000-2: The chain separator can be removed by removing the shaft
retaining ring from its groove on the limit lever shaft adjacent to the valve section, sliding the limit
lever assembly away from the chain separator, removing the limit lever from the limit lever shaft,
and removing the hex socket screws holding the chain separator to the hoist body.
7.6 Storage
7.6.1 Whenever the hoist is to be placed into storage, place extra lubricating oil into the air inlet opening and
circulate the air motor before plugging the inlet. Make certain that no debris, dirt or moisture is allowed
to enter the air hoist through air inlet opening during preparations for storage.
7.6.2 The storage location should be clean and dry.
7.7 Outdoor Installation
7.7.1 For hoist installations that are outdoors, the hoist should be covered when not in use.
7.7.2 In order to prevent internal corrosion from occurring, the hoist must be operated using proper quality air
at least once per week by raising and lowering the hoist one full cycle. Note: the possibility of corrosion
in the valve section of the hoist increases for areas where salt air and high humidity are present. For
such situations you may need to operate your hoist more often than once per week.
