Safety Summary
The National Safety Council, Accident Prevention
Manual for Industrial Operations, Eighth Edition and
other recognized safety sources make a common point.
Employees who work near cranes or assist in hooking on or
arranging a load should be instructed to keep out from
under the load. From a safety standpoint, one factor is
paramount : conduct all lifting operations in such a manner
that if there were an equipment failure, no personnel would
be injured. This means keep out from under a raised load
and keep out of the line of force of any load.
To our interpretation, INGERSOLL-RAND Material
Handling hoists are manufactured in accordance with the
latest standards.
However, contrary to common belief, as we understand it,
generally places the burden of compliance with the user,
not the manufacturer. Many requirements are not concerned
or connected with the manufactured product but are, rather,
connected with the final installation. It is the owner's
responsibility and user's responsibility to determine the
suitability of a product for any particular use. Check all
applicable industry, trade association, federal, state and
local regulations. Read all operating instructions and
warnings before operation.
Rigging : It is the responsibility of the operator to exercise
caution, use common sense and be familiar with proper
rigging techniques.
INGERSOLL-RAND Replacement Parts are
specifically designed to ensure optimum performance
of your equipment. Use of other than genuine
INGERSOLL-RAND Material Handling parts may
adversely affect safe operation and will invalidate the
warranty.
Do not use this hoist or attached equipment for
lifting, supporting, or transporting people or
supporting loads over people.
The supporting structures and load-attaching devices
used in conjunction with this hoist must provide and
adequate safety factor to handle the rated load, plus
the weight of the hoist and attached equipment. This
is the customer's responsibility. If in doubt, consult a
qualified structural engineer.

SAFE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The following warnings and operating instructions are
intended to avoid unsafe operating practices which might
lead to indury or property damage.
INGERSOLL-RAND recognizes that most companies
who use hoists and trolley safety program in force at their
facility. In the event that some conflict exists between a
rule set forth in this publication and a similar rule already
set by an individual company, the more stringent of the
two should take precedence.
Safe Operating Instructions are provided to make an
operator aware of dangerous practices to avoid and are
not necessarily limited to the following list. Refer to
specific sections in the manual for additional safety
information.
Refer to the hoist manual for additional precautions and
instructions.
1. Only allow qualified people (trained in safety and
operation) to operate the hoist.
2. Only operate a hoist and a trolley if you are
physically fit to do so.
3. When a "DO NOT OPERATE" sign is placed on the
hoist controls, do not operate the hoist until the sign
has been removed by designated personnel.
4. Before each shift, the operator should inspect the
hoist and the trolley for wear or damage.
5. Never use a hoist and a trolley that inspection
indicates is defective.
6. Periodically, inspect the hoist and the trolley
thoroughly and replace worn or damaged parts.
7. Lubricate the hoist and the trolley regularly.
8. Using the hoist, only lift loads less than or equal to
the lower rated capacity of the trolley or hoist.
9. Only attach a hoist having a raded capacity equal to
or less than the capacity of the trolley.
10. When using two hoists to suspend one load, select
two trolleys each having a rated capacity equal to or
more than the load. This provides adequate safety in
the event of a sudden load shift or failure of one
trolley.
11. Never place your hand inside the throat area of a
hook
12. Only operate a hoist when the load is centered under
the hoist. Do not "side pull" or "yard".
13. Pay attention to the load at all times when operating
the trolley.
14. Make sure all people are clear of the load path. Do
not lift a load over people.
15. Never use the hoist for lifting or lowering people,
and never allow anyone to stand on a suspended
load.
16. Do not swing a suspended load.
17. Never suspend a load for an extended period of time
18. Never leave a suspended load unattended.
19. Never weld or cut a load suspended by the trolley.
20. Always rig the load properly and carefully.
21. Remove all loads before performing any
maintenance.
22. Avoid collision or bumping of hoist and trolley.
23. After use, properly secure hoist and all loads.
5
INSTALLATION
Prior to installing the hoist, carefully inspect it for possible
shipping damage.
Hoists are supplied fully lubricated from the factory.
Lubrication of the load chain is recommended before initial
hoist operation.
CAUTION
• Owners and users are advised to examine specific,
local or other regulations, including American National
Standards and/or OSHA Regulations which may apply
to a particular type of use of this product before
installing or putting hoist to use.
WARNING
• A falling load can cause injury or death. Before
installing, read "Safety Information."
Mounting
Make certain your hoist is properly installed. A little extra
time and effort in doing so can contribute a lot toward
preventing accidents and helping you get the best service
possible.
Always make certain the supporting member from which
the hoist is suspended is strong enough to support the
weight of the hoist plus the weight of the maximum rated
load plus a generous factor of at least 500% of the
combined weights.
If the hoist is suspended by a top hook, the supporting
member should rest completely within the saddle of the
hook and be centered directly above the hook shank. Do not
use a supporting member that tilts the hoist.
Hook Mounted Hoist
Place hook over mounting structure. Make sure hook latch
is engaged.
Trolley Mounted Hoist
When installing a trolley on a beam, measure the beam
flange and temporarily install the trolley on the hoist to
determine the exact distribution and arrangement of the
spacers. The total distance between the wheel flanges
should be 3/16 in. to 1/4 in. (4.76 mm to 6.35 mm) greater
than the width of the beam flange.
The number of spacers between the trolley side plate and
the mounting lug on the hoist must be the same in all four
locations in order to keep the hoist centered under the Ibeam. The remaining spacers must be equally distributed on
the outside of the side plates. (For additional information
refer to the trolley manufacturer's literature.)
WARNING
• At least one mounting spacer must be used between
the head of each trolley bracket bolt and the trolley
bracket and between each trolley bolt nut and the
trolley bracket. Failure to do this could cause the hoist
to fall when used improperly.
Ensure the trolley bolts or nuts are torqued in accordance
with manufacturer's specifications. When installing the
hoist and trolley on the beam, make certain the side plates
are parallel and vertical. After installation, operate the
trolley over the entire length of the beam with a capacity
load suspended 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cms) off the floor.
CAUTION
• To avoid an unbalanced load which may damage the
trolley, the hoist must be centered under the trolley.
NOTICE
• Trolley wheels ride on the top of the lower flange of
the beam.
Air System
The supply air must be clean, lubricated and free from
moisture. A minimum of 90 psi (6.3 bar/630 kPa) at the
hoist motor is required to provide rated hoist capacity. Air
inlet port size for LCA015S and LCA030D units is 1/2 in.
BSP. On all other units the inlet port size is 3/4 in. BSP.
Air Lines
The inside diameter of the hoist air supply lines must not be
smaller than 3/4 in. (19 mm). Before making final
connections, all air supply lines should be purged before
connecting to system inlet. Supply lines should be as short
and straight as installation conditions will permit. Long
transmission lines and excessive use of fittings, elbows,
tees, globe valves, etc. cause a reduction in pressure due to
restrictions and surface friction in the lines.
Lubricator
The air motor may be operated without lubrication. If an air
line lubricator is used, it should be replenished daily with
SAE 30W Grade ISO VG 100 oil (minimum viscosity 135
Cst at 104° F (40° C)).
CAUTION
• Shut off air supply before filling air line lubricator.
Filter
It is recommended that an air line strainer/filter be installed
within 3 ft (1 m) of the motor air inlet port to prevent dirt
from entering the motor. The strainer/filter should provide
20 micron filtration and include a moisture trap. Clean the
strainer/filter monthly to retain its operating efficiency.
Moisture in Air Lines
Moisture that reaches the air motor through the supply lines
is the chief factor in determining the length of time between
service overhauls. Moisture traps can help eliminate
moisture. Other methods, such as an air receiver which
collects moisture before it reaches the motor or an
aftercooler at the compressor that cools the air prior to
distribution through the supply lines are also helpful.
Motor
For optimum performance and maximum durability of
parts, operate the air motor within the operating
specifications provided in the "SPECIFICATIONS"
section. The air motor should be installed as near as
possible to the compressor or air receiver.
6
Overload Device
NOTICE
Overload protection is integrated into the motor body and is
standard on -E versions. The overload system is based on
detection of the difference in air pressure between the inlet
and outlet ports. It consists of a valve which is normally
closed. The valve senses pressure at the motor inlet and
outlet and compares the difference between the two
pressures to the index value established by spring
adjustment. A difference in pressure greater than the index
value causes the emergency stop to be activated. This then
exhausts the air and hoist operation stops.
Overload protection is adjusted at the factory to 120% of
the safe working load (SWL). It is also able to operate on
both sides for mining versions with two bottom hooks.
Refer to the "MAINTENANCE" section for adjustment
procedures.
Main Air Shut-off Valve
The main air shut-off valve is completely integrated into the
motor body and is standard on -E versions.
Chain container
1. Check the chain container size to make sure the length of
the load chain is within the capacity of the chain container.
Replace with a larger chain container if required.
2. When a chain bucket is used, Install a chain buffer on the
15th link from the end of the chain.
3. Attach the chain container to the hoist.
4. Run bottom block to the lowest point and run hoist in the
"UP" direction to feed the chain back into the container.
NOTICE
• Allow chain to pile naturally in the chain container.
Piling the chain carelessly into the container by hand
may lead to kinking or twisting that will jam the hoist.
Attaching Limit Stop
1. On hoists without a chain bucket, slide buffer and washer
onto chain.
2. Install limit stop as described under "Chain Container".
3. Run hoist slowly in the "DOWN" direction to verify limit
stop activates cutout.
Storing the Hoist
1. Always store the hoist in a no load condition.
2. Wipe off all dirt and water.
3. Oil the chain, hook pins and hook latch.
4. Place in a dry location.
5. Plug hoist air inlet port.
6. Before returning hoist to service, follow instructions for
hoists not in regular service in the "INSPECTION" section.
ADJUSTMENT TROLLEY LCA015S/LCA030D
Pre-adjust trolley for installation using Dwg. D5230233 and the
following instructions.
1. Fasten tightening nuts (74) to one end of suspension shaft (75),
using springwashers (73) , apply Loctite® 243 to capscrews
threads.
2. Measure beam flange width and establish required position for
spacers. Install required outside spacers on suspension shaft (75).
3. Thread a nut (66) onto each end of the screw rod (67), as far to
the center as possible.
4. Insert one end of this rod into the side plate and loosely fasten
with another nut (66).
5. Insert suspension shaft through side plate (36).
6. Install an equal number of spacers to each side of hoist
support (35), and sprokets wheels support (58), on suspension
shaft.
• The total clearance between the beam and the trolley wheel
flanges is 4 to 8 mm when trolley is installed correctly. As
shown in Dwg. D5230233, the difference between dimensions
“X” and “Y” equals the total clearance.
7. Support the assembled portion of trolley on the beam.
8. Install second side plate (37).
9. Place the rest of spacers on the suspension shaft and secure
loosely with nutsand springwashers.
10. Verify trolley wheel to beam total clearance. Adjust spacer
locations until clearance specification is attained (refer to Dwg.
D5230233). Apply Loctite® 243 to nuts and secure in place.
11. Screw inner nuts (66) out until they contact with side plates.
Thread outside nuts (66) onto screw or until tight against side
plates. Check that side plates are perpendicular to beam.
12. Upon completion of installation, ensure trolley beam stops are
installed and conduct initial operating checks as described in
“OPERATION” section. Check that side plates are vertical and
parallel to each other.

The four most important aspects of hoist operation are:
1. Follow all safety instructions when operating the hoist.
2. Allow only people trained in safety and operation of
this product to operate the hoist.
3. Subject each hoist to a regular inspection and
maintenance program .
4. Be aware of the hoist capacity and weight of load at all
times.
Operators must be physically competent. Operators must
have no health condition which might affect their ability to
act, and they must have good hearing, vision and depth
perception. The hoist operator must be carefully instructed
in his or her duties and must understand the operation of the
hoist, including a study of the manufacturer's literature. The
operator must thoroughly understand proper methods of
hitching loads and should have a good attitude regarding
safety. It is the operator's responsibility to refuse to operate
the hoist under unsafe conditions.
Initial Operating Checks
Hoists are tested for proper operation prior to leaving the
factory. Before the hoist is placed in service the following
initial operating checks should be performed.
1. After installation of trolley mounted hoists, check to
ensure the hoist is centered below the trolley.
2. Check for air leaks in the supply hose and fittings to
pendant, as well as from pendant to manifold.
3. When first running the hoist or trolley motors, some light
oil should be injected into the inlet connection to allow
good lubrication.
4. When first operating the hoist and trolley it is
recommended that the motors be driven slowly in both
directions for a few minutes.
5. Operate the trolley along the entire length of the beam.
6. Inspect hoist and trolley performance when raising,
moving and lowering test loads. Hoist and trolley must
operate smoothly and at rated specifications prior to
being placed in service.
7. Check that trolley and hook movement is in the same
direction as arrows and pendant control labels.
8. Raise and lower a light load to check operation of the
hoist brake.
9. Check hoist operation by raising and lowering a load
equal to the rated capacity of the hoist a few inches (cm)
off the floor.
10. Check operation of limit devices.
11. Check to see that the hoist is directly over the load. Do
not lift the load at an angle ("side pull" or "yard").
12. Check to see the hoist is securely connected to the
overhead crane, monorail, trolley or supporting
member.
13. Check to see that the load is securely inserted in the
hook, and that the hook latch is engaged.
WARNING
• Allow only personnel trained in safety and operation
of this product to operate hoist and trolley.
• The hoist is not designed and not suitable for lifting,
lowering or moving people. Never lift loads over people.
WARNING
• The hook latch is intended to retain loose slings or
devices under slack conditions. Hook latches are not
intended to be anti-fouling devices, so caution must be
used to prevent the latch from supporting any of the
load.
Pendant
The pendant is a remote control that allows the operator to
control the positioning of a load. It will allow the operator
to control hoist movements from a distance, thereby
allowing exact positioning of a hook.. The four lever
pendant controls both hook and trolley positions.
Emergency Stop
The Emergency Stop button, when activated, will
immediately stop all operations of the hoist and trolley.
The Emergency Stop button will remain depressed after
activation.
To reset four lever pendants Emergency Stop button twist
(rotate) Emergency Stop button clockwise until button
releases and spring returns to its original position. Depress
"ON" button.

INSPECTION
WARNING
• All new, altered or modified equipment should be
inspected and tested by personnel instructed in safety,
operation and maintenance of this equipment 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 performed on
equipment in regular service. Frequent inspections are
visual examinations performed by operators or personnel
trained in safety and operation of this equipment and
include observations made during routine hoist operation.
Periodic inspections are thorough inspections conducted by
personnel trained in the safety, operation and maintenance
of this equipment.
The states inspection intervals depend upon the nature of
the critical components of the equipment and the severity of
usage. The inspection intervals recommended in this
manual are based on intermittent operation of the hoist
eight hours each day, five days per week, in an environment
relatively free of dust, moisture and corrosive fumes. If the
hoist is operated almost continuously or more than the eight
hours each day, more frequent inspections will be required.
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
becomes dangerous.
Deficiencies revealed through inspection, or noted during
operation, must be reported to designated personnel
instructed in safety, operation and maintenance of this
equipment. A determination as to whether a condition
constitutes a safety hazard must be made, and the correction
of noted safety hazards accomplished and documented by
written report before placing the equipment in service.
Records and Reports
Inspection records, listing all points requiring periodic
inspection should be maintained for all load bearing
equipment.
Written reports, based on severity of service, should be
made on the condition of critical parts as a method of
documenting periodic inspections. These reports should be
dated, signed by the person who performed the inspection,
and kept on file where they are readily available for review.
Load Chain Reports
Records should be maintained documenting the condition
of load chain removed from service as part of a long-range
load chain inspection program. Accurate records will
establish a relationship between visual observations noted
during frequent inspections and the actual condition of the
load chain as determined by periodic inspection methods.
Frequent Inspection
On hoists in continuous service, frequent inspections should
be made by operators at the beginning of each shift. In
addition, visual inspections should be conducted during
regular service for any damage or evidence of malfunction.
1. OPERATION. Check for visual signs or abnormal noises
(grinding, etc.) which could indicate a potential
problem. Make sure all controls function properly and
return to neutral when released. Check chain feed
through the hoist and bottom block. If chain binds,
jumps, is excessively noisy or "clicks," clean and
lubricate the chain. If the problem persists, replace the
chain. Do not operate the hoist until all problems have
been corrected.
2. UPPER AND LOWER LIMIT DEVICE. Test operation
with no load slowly in both extremes of travel. Upward
travel must stop when the stop buffer on the bottom
block hits hoist limit switch. Downward travel must
stop when the stop buffer attached to the end of the
unloaded load chain decreases and activates the limit
switch.
3. HOOKS. Check for wear or damage, increased throat
width, bent shank or twisting of hook. Replace hooks
which exceed the throat opening discard width or which
exceed a 10° twist. If the hook latch snaps past the tip of
the hook, the hook is sprung and must be replaced.
Check hook support bearings for lubrication or damage.
Ensure that they swivel easily and smoothly.
4. HOOK LATCH. Make sure hook latch is present and
operating. Replace if necessary.
CAUTION
• Do not use hoist if hook latch is missing or damaged.
5. CONTROLS. During operation of the hoist, verify that
response to pendant is quick and smooth. See that the
controls return to neutral when released. If hoist responds
slowly or movement is unsatisfactory, do not operate the
hoist until all problems have been corrected.
6. AIR SYSTEM. Visually inspect all connections, fittings,
hoses and components for indication of air leaks. Repair
any air leaks found. Check and clean the filter.
7. LOAD CHAIN. Examine each of the links for bending,
cracks in weld areas or shoulders, traverse nicks and
gouges, weld splatter, corrosion pits, striation (minute
parallel lines) and chain wear, including bearing surfaces
between chain links. Replace a chain that fails any of the
inspections. Check chain lubrication and lubricate if
necessary. Refer to "Load Chain" in the "LUBRICATION"
section.
NOTICE
• The full extent of load chain wear cannot be
determined by visual inspection. At any indication of
load chain wear, inspect the chain and chain wheel in
accordance with instructions in "Periodic Inspection."
8. LOAD CHAIN REEVING. Ensure welds on standing
links are away from load sheave. Reinstall chain if
necessary. Make sure chain is not capsized, twisted or
kinked.

Periodic Inspection
frequency of periodic inspection depends on severity of
usage:
NORMAL HEAVY SEVERE
yearly semiannually quarterly
Disassembly may be required for HEAVY or SEVERE
usage. Keep accumulative written records of periodic
inspections to provide a basis for continuing evaluation.
Inspect all the items in "Frequent Inspection." Also inspect
the following:
1. FASTENERS. Check all rivets, split pins, capscrews and
nuts. Replace if missing or tighten if loose.
2. ALL COMPONENTS. Inspect for wear, damage,
distortion, deformations and cleanliness. If external
evidence indicates the need, disassemble. Check gears,
shafts, bearings, sheaves, chain guides, springs and
covers. Replace worn or damaged parts. Clean, lubricate
and reassemble.
3. HOOKS. Inspect hooks carefully for cracks using
magnetic particle or other suitable non-destructive
method. Inspect hook retaining parts. Tighten or repair
if necessary.
4. LOAD CHAIN SPROCKET. Check for damage or
excessivewear. Replace if necessary. Observe the action
of the load chain feeding through the hoist. Do not
operate a hoist unless the load chain feeds through the
hoist and hook block smoothly and without audible
clicking or other evidence of binding or malfunctioning.
5. MOTOR. If performance is poor, disassemble the motor
and check for wear or damage to bearings and shafts.
The parts should be cleaned, lubricated and
reassembled. Replace worn or damaged parts.
6. BRAKE. Raise a load equal to the rated capacity of the
hoist a few inches (cms) off the floor. Verify hoist holds
the load without drift. If drift occurs, disassemble.
Remove the brake discs as described in the
"MAINTENANCE" section. Check and clean the brake
parts each time the hoist is disassembled. Replace the
brake discs if the grooves are no longer visible.
7. SUPPORTING STRUCTURE. Check for distortion,
wear and continued ability to support a load.
8. TROLLEY (if equipped). Check that the trolley wheels
track the beam properly and trolley is correctly adjusted
in accordance with manufacturer's literature. Check that
wheels and beam are not excessively worn and inspect
side plates for spreading due to bending. Do not operate
the hoist until the problem has been determined and
corrected.
9. LABELS AND TAGS. Check for presence and legibility.
Replace if necessary.
10. LOAD CHAIN END ANCHORS. Ensure both ends of
the load chain are securely attached. Secure if loose,
repair if damaged, replace if missing. Check chain
stoppers are correctly installed and functional.
11. LOAD CHAIN. Measure the chain for stretching.
Measure the load chain over the outside of five link
sections all along the the chain, paying particular
attention to the most frequently reeved links. When any
five links in the working length reaches or exceeds the
discard length, replace the entire chain. Always use
genuine Ingersoll-Rand Material Handling replacement
chain. Zinc plated load chain is standard on Liftchain
hoists.
12. CHAIN CONTAINER. Check for damage or excessive
wear and that chain container is securely attached to the
hoist. Secure or replace if necessary.
13 LIMIT SWITCH. Check limit switches function
correctly.
Hoists Not in Regular Use
1. A hoist which has been idle for a period of one month or
more, but less than one year, should be given an
inspection conforming to the requirements of "Frequent
Inspection" prior to being placed in service.
2. A hoist which has been idle for a period of more than one
year should be given an inspection conforming to the
requirements of "Periodic Inspection" prior to being
placed in service.
3. Standby hoists should be inspected at least semiannually
in accordance with the requirements of "Frequent
Inspection." In abnormal operating conditions, hoists
should be inspected at shorter intervals.
