6.3Hoist Disassembly

Proceed as follows (Note: Figures in brackets are Figure Numbers in Parts List):

1)Orient a hoist with wheel cover side up.

2)Unscrew three nuts [45] (with the spring washers [46]) fixing the wheel cover [44] and remove the wheel cover from the side plate A [11].

3)Remove the hand chain [48] from the hand wheel [40].

4)Pull out the split pin [43] from the wheel stopper pin [42] and remove the wheel stopper pin and the wheel stopper [41] from the pinion [17].

*NOTE: If the hoist has an over load limiter, instead of step 4, remove the left hand threaded nut from the pinion.

5)Remove the hand wheel [40] from the pinion [17] by turning the hand wheel counterclockwise.

*NOTE: If the hand wheel is too tight to turn by hand, put the hand chain back on the hand wheel and pull it down hard. It will release the brake.

6)Remove two friction plates [37], the ratchet disc [38] and the bushing [39] from the friction disc [36].

7)Unscrew the friction disc [36] from the pinion [17] by turning counterclockwise holding the end of the pinion with your fingers.

8)Remove the snap ring [35] from the pawl pin (on the side plate A) and then remove the pawl [34] and pawl spring A [33] and B [33].
