DESIGNED OR SUITABLE FOR LIFTING OR LOWERING PERSONS.
Page 3
SECTION I - GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1-1. GENERAL. These YALE KALC Air Hoists are precision
built chain type hoists which are built in three capacity sizes: 1,
2, and 3 ton. All models use coil type load chain and have
pendant throttle controls. There are model variations with hook
or lug type suspensions. Hoists are also provided in spark
resistant models and corrosion resistant models. (Note: Spark
resistant models have capacity ratings lower than standard
models).
1-2. BASIC CONSTRUCTION. All sizes and models of these
YALE KALC Air Hoists are of the same basic design, having
many common and interchangeable parts. They consist primarily
of an aluminum alloy frame and gearcase cover which houses
an automatic load brake and gear train. An air motor is mounted
on the rear of the frame. An upper hook or lug bracket for
suspending the hoist is attached to the top of the frame. An
alloy steel coil load chain with lower block assembly is employed
to raise and lower loads. Upper and lower limits of hook travel
are limited by chain mounted limit stops. Hoist operation is
controlled by a pendant throttle control assembly.
1-3. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MODELS AND SIZES. The
main differences between hoist models are in the reeving of
the load chain and the suspension employed. These are
described in Paragraphs a and b, below.
a.On standard 1 ton capacity hoists, the load chain is
single reeved (one part of chain); on standard 2 ton
capacities, the chain is double reeved (two parts of chain);
on standard 3 ton capacities, the chain is triple reeved
(three parts of chain). Coil type chain is full-flexing, electric
welded, link chain; carburized steel on standard and
corrosion resistant models and stainless steel on spark
resistant models. Both types are especially designed for
use in hoisting and have special calibrated pitch. (Note:
On corrosion resistant models, the load chain is zinc
plated).
b. Suspension differences include a conventional hook type
mounting and a lug type mounting. Hook suspension allows
portability permitting hoist to be easily moved from job to
job. Lug suspension permits hoist to be rigidly mounted to
overhead structure or attached to YALE Rigid Mount
Trolleys, affording unusual headroom advantage.
1-4. MAN-GUARD OVERLOAD CLUTCH. YALE KALC Air
Hoists have a MAN-GUARD label on the sides of the
counterweighted cover and are equipped with an overload clutch
that is designed to help guard against excessive overloads.
The clutch is built into the load brake gear. It is a cone-friction
clutch that connects the first reduction gear (load brake gear)
to the load brake output pinion shaft. A belleville disc spring
provides clutch pressure between the gear and its cone shaped
gear center. An excessive overload causes the load brake gear
to rotate without turning the gear center and output pinion
shaft. The clutch is located between the load brake and the
motor, thus allowing load brake to function in its normal manner.
See Paragraph 3-5 for operation.
SECTION II - INSTALLATION
2-1. GENERAL. YALE KALC Air Hoists are completely
lubricated and load tested before being shipped from the factory.
The hoist is shipped with pendant handle and hose assembly
packed loose in the shipping carton. See Paragraph 2-2.e for
attachment. To place hoist in service, attach to a suitable
overhead suspension (Paragraph 2-2) in area to be used;
perform pre installation check (Paragraph 2-3); and connect
hoist to air service (Paragraph 2-4).
2-2. SUSPENDING HOIST.
a.On hook suspended hoists, select a suitable overhead
support in area hoist is to be used (one capable of holding
combined weight of hoist and its capacity load) and hang
hoist up. Be certain that upper hook is firmly seated in
center of hook saddle and that the spring safety latch
is properly closed over hook opening. In some cases,
it may be necessary to first remove spring latch before
hook will fit over a support. Reinstall latch after hook is
engaged.
b. On lug suspended hoists, select a suitable overhead
support in area hoist is to be used (one capable of holding
combined weight of hoist and its capacity load). Mount
hoist using through bolts of appropriate size to fit mounting
holes in suspension lug at top of hoist. (See table below).
Use only suspension bolts provided by YaleLift-Tech.

SUSPENSION LUG BOLTS SIZES AND SPACING
The structure used to suspend hoist must be of
sufficient strength to withstand reasonable forces to
which hoist and support may be subjected. Hoist must
be aligned with load to avoid side pulls.
WARNING
*S.R. = Spark Resistant Models
c. On lug suspended hoists, the suspension lug is factory
oriented to cross mount the hoist. This is the recommended
orientation. To rotate the lug 90
° for parallel mounting, follow
instructions below:
(1) On 1/4 through 1 ton hoists, remove the two screws securing
the anti-rotation bracket and remove the bracket. Rotate the
suspension lug in 90
° increments. Reinstall the anti-rotation
bracket and secure with two screws and lock washers.
Page 4
(2) On hoists with two parts of chain: remove hex socket
head screw in lower lock plate. Remove lower lock
plate. Rotate suspension lug to selected position and
replace lock plate and hex socket head screw.
(3) On hoists with three parts of chain: the hanger bracket
must first be removed from the hoist to provide access
to suspension nut per Section VII, Paragraph 7-2.a.(4)
and Figures 7-1 and 7-2.
To removed lug bolt, follow instructions in Section VII,
Paragraph 7-3.b.(3). With bolt removed lift lug from
hanger and reposition as desired. The lug is located and
prevented from turning by integral lugs on adjacent
surfaces of the lug and the hanger. Reinstall lug bolt,
spherical washers and nut. Align hole in nut and lug bolt.
Drive grooved pin through nut and suspension bolt to a
position flush with nut, or not more than 1/8" protruding.
Reassemble hanger bracket to hoist.
Be certain to replace grooved pin through nut and lug
bolt. Grooved pin must be tight.
WARNING
d. On rigid mount trolley suspended hoists, the trolley side
plates must be properly spaced so trolley will fit I-beam
on which hoist will operate. Adjustment for various I-beam
sizes is accomplished by rearrangement of spacer
washers on the through bolts which connect trolley side
plates to suspension lug on hoist. Refer to instruction
sheet furnished with YALE Rigid Mount Trolleys for
complete instructions.
If trolley is mounted on an open-end beam, end stops
must be installed to prevent trolley from running off
the end of the beam resulting in injury to operator and
others and damages to load and other property.
WARNING
e. To connect pendant throttle control, refer to Figure 8-8.
The hose with a straight connection at the top (Ref. No.
10) attaches to the left connection of the supply head as
shown. The hose with the long elbow at the top connects
to the upper right connection and the hose with the short
elbow at the top connects to the lower right connection of
the supply head. Assemble the parts at the upper end of
the strain relief cable as shown. Make the cable tight
enough to support the weight of the handle and hoses
before tightening the wire rope clips.
f. If chain container is to be used on hoist, install it following
instructions furnished with container.
2-3. PRE-INSTALLATION CHECK. Check Oil Level. (Figure
4-1) The gear case has been filled with oil, to the proper level
at the factory. However, the oil level should be checked before
hoist is operated. Remove pipe plug from oil filler on side of
hoist frame. Replace with supplied oil hole cover. Check oil
level by removing oil level plug (side of frame). Observe if oil
level is even with bottom of tapped hole. If it is not, add oil, as
specified in paragraph 4-4c. Also check load chain. Be sure it
is properly lubricated. See paragraph 4-3.
2-4. CONNECTING HOIST TO AIR SERVICE.
a Connect hoist to nearest filtered and lubricated air source
using 3/4" I.D. air hose (see Figure 2-1). Avoid use of
hose assemblies of smaller diameters that will cause air
flow restrictions and reduce hoist performance.
b. If hoist is suspended by trolley, provide sufficient hose to
reach from air source to farthest point of trolley travel.
YALE Hose Trolleys are recommended to keep hose
up out of the way.
Figure 2-1. Connecting Air Hose to Hoist
12424
c. A filter and lubricator unit (Figure 2-2) must be installed
between air source and hoist, as close to hoist as
possible. These keep air flowing to hoist free of dirt and
add lubricant to air so internal parts of motor are
constantly lubricated. Use a good grade of spindle oil,
approximate viscosity 180 ssu at 100° F., air powered
tool oil, or S.A.E. 10W machine oil. YaleLift-Tech
distributors can provide filter-lubricator units.
Figure 2-2. Air Filter and Lubricator Unit
10980
d. The recommended operating air pressure for all capacities
of YALE Air Hoists is 90 psi. When line pressure
exceeds 100 psi (at hoist when hoist is operating), it is
recommended that a pressure regulator valve be provided
in the air supply line to maintain proper pressure. Although
there is a wide range of pressures within which the hoists
will operate, motor efficiency may decrease more rapidly
than the drop in air pressure on a percentage basis.
Refer to "Performance Charts," See Figure 2-3.

SECTION III - OPERATION
3-1. GENERAL. Operation of YALE KALC Air Hoists is controlled
by a pendant throttle control. The Pendant Throttle Control has
a convenient lever type control valve handle (Figure 3-1)
suspended from the control manifold.
3-2. PRE-OPERATION CHECKS. Check the following before
operating hoist with load:
Check limit stops. Make sure the stop on the tail chain side is
securely fastened to the proper link (see chart.)
Never operate hoist with defective or missing limit stops,
defective hooks or load chain. See Paragraph 5-2 for aid in
checking load chain condition.
WARNING
b. When hoist is to be used without a chain container, check
that tail chain anchor screw is secure. When hoist is to be
used with a chain container, tail chain may be left unattached
PROVIDED LIMIT ACTUATOR IS IN PLACE IN ACCORDANCE
WITH ABOVE.
c. Check to see that limit stop is in proper position.
3-3. OPERATING HOIST. With hoist installed and air pressure
turned on, hoist is operated in the following manner:
a.Depress throttle valve lever marked
to raise load. See Figure 3-1.
b. Depress throttle valve lever marked
to lower load.
c. Release lever being depressed to stop
either lifting or lowering.
d.Speed of lifting and lowering is varied
by the position of the throttle valve lever
being depressed.
e.Speed of lowering can be reduced from
the maximum by adjusting a screw in
the upper fitting of the down valve
supply hose.
Figure 3-1.
Pendant Throttle
Control Handle
12425
3-4. UPPER AND LOWER LIMIT STOPS. Upper and lower
limit stops are provided to guard against overtravel of load in
either raising or lowering direction, which can cause damage
to hoist. When highest position is reached, the lower block will
cause the overload clutch to slip. When the lowest block position
is reached, the tail chain stop will cause the overload clutch to
slip. Limit stops are intended as safety devices and should not
be used on a routine basis to stop block travel. Lowering full
rated capacity load at full rated speed Into the limit stop is an
especially severe condition and must not be knowingly done at
any time.
3-5. MAN-GUARD OVERLOAD CLUTCH OPERATION. The
overload clutch is factory preset at assembly so that the hoist
will lift its full rated load but will refuse to lift overloads within a
range of 110 percent rated load to 200 percent rated load. If
the load to be lifted exceeds the clutch factory setting, the
motor will continue to run and will rotate the load brake gear
without lifting the load. Whenever this occurs, immediately
release the "UP" control to prevent overheating of the clutch
friction surfaces and motor.
Type Chain Size Chain
Number of
Chain Links
From End Link
Coil 1/4" Wire Dia. 12 Links (9½")
Coil 5/16" Wire Dia. 10 Links (9")
d. Check hooks. They should not be bent or distorted and
should not be opened beyond the correct opening sizes
given in Figures 5-5 and 5-6. Hook latches should not be
bent or damaged and springs not broken.
e. Check chain to make sure it is not twisted or kinked. Be
sure lower block on double reeved models has not been
capsized. Be sure load chain is lubricated. See Paragraph
4-3.
f. Check suspension bushing keeper. The keeper must
contact a flat on the suspension bushing. Be sure that
suspension bushing is screwed in all the way. Be sure
screw retaining suspension bushing keeper is tight.

3-8. OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
Safe operation of an overhead hoist is the operator's
responsibility. Listed below are some basic rules that can make
an operator aware of dangerous practices to avoid and
precautions to take for his own safety and the safety of others.
Observances of these rules in addition to frequent examinations
and periodic inspection of the equipment may save injury to
personnel and damage to equipment.
a. Personnel not physical fit or properly qualified, shall
not operate hoist.
b. Operate hoist cautiously to become familiar with its
performance.
c. Do not lift loads greater than the hoist rated load.
d. Never lift or transport a load until all personnel are
clear. Never lift people on hook or load.
e. Stand clear of all loads and never travel loads over
people.
f. When lifting load make certain it is free to move and
will clear all obstructions.
g. Do not divert attention from load while operating hoist.
Never leave a suspended load unattended.
h. Do not operate hoist unless upper and lower limit stops
are operating properly.
j. Do not use limit stop as normal operating stop. This is
a safety device only.
k. Take up chain slack carefully to avoid jerking load,
possibly overloading hoist.
I. Never use hoist chain as a lifting sling around a load or
as an electrical ground for welding.
Equipment covered herein is not designed or suitable
as a power source for lifting or lowering persons.
WARNING
m. Always be sure there is no twist in coil load chain. On 2
& 3 line coil chain hoists, check to see that lower block
is not capsized between strands of chain.
n. Avoid operating hoist when hook is not centered under
hoist. Be sure that hoist trolley or other support
mechanism is correctly positioned for handling the load
before lifting.
o. Do not operate hoist with twisted, kinked, badly worn
or damaged chain.
p. Do not operate damaged or malfunctioning hoist.
q. Do not "Jog" unnecessarily.
r. Conduct regular visual inspections for signs of damage
or wear.
s. Observe recommended inspection and maintenance
procedures.
t. Never operate hoist with hooks that have opened up.
See Figure 5-5 and 5-6.
u. Do not remove or obscure warning labels.
v. The supporting structure or anchoring means shall have
a load rating at least equal to that of the hoist
w. Hoists shall not be used in locations that will not allow
operator movement to be free of the load.
x. The operator shall insure that he has firm footing or is
otherwise secured before operating the hoist.
y. The load sling or other approved devices shall be seated
properly in the saddle of the hook and the hook latch
shall be closed before operating hoist.
z. Before lifting a load the operator shall be certain that
load is not caught on any obstructions.
aa.When starting to lift or pull, the load should be moved
a few inches at which time the hoist should be checked
for proper load holding action. The operation shall be
continued only after the operator is assured that the
hoist is operating properly.
ab.The operator should not leave a loaded hoist unattended
at the end of a work shift or for extended periods during
the work shift. Where operations are such that this
condition cannot be avoided the operator must be
assured that the condition does not create a hazard to
personnel or property.
ac.Use common sense and best judgment whenever
operating a hoist. Observe American National Standard
Safety standard, ANSI B30.16, latest issue.
SECTION IV - LUBRICATION
4-1. GENERAL. The lubrication services outlined in Paragraphs
4-2 through 4-5 should be performed at regular intervals to
maintain top hoist performance and insure long life. The
frequency for lubrication services will depend on the type of
hoisting service that hoist is subjected to and should coincide
with periodic preventive maintenance inspection. See Section
V - Maintenance.
4-2. SERVICE AIR LINE LUBRICATOR. Servicing air line filter
and lubricator unit is of primary importance since it's the only
source of lubrication for control valves and air motor. Fill
lubricator with a good grade of light spindle oil or air powered
tool oil, and follow the manufacturer's recommended service
procedure.
NOTICE
Always know load to be lifted. Loads greater than rated
capacity are not to be lifted.
3-6. LOAD CHAIN. Make sure the load chain is lubricated
according to the requirements of Paragraph 4-3 before
operation. For hoists with stainless steel load chain carefully
inspect for unusual chain wear daily during the first week of
operation then return to the regular maintenance schedule of
Section V.
3-7. PULLING AND PIVOTING HOIST AND LOAD.
a. The Pendant Throttle Control handle is supported by a
strain cable that is suitable for pulling trolley suspended
hoists when empty or lightly loaded. Use a tag line or
pole to pull or push loads to traverse heavily loaded hoists.
Observe caution to stay clear of loads.
b. To pivot load, push on one corner of load. Lower hook
will swivel through 360° to permit load to be swung to the
desired position. The upper hook (hook suspension
models) is also designed to rotate so that hoist will swing
to face the load.
Page 7
Figure 4-1. Location of Oil Filler and Plugs
4-4. CHANGE GEARCASE OIL (Figure 4-1).
a. Remove drain plug from bottom of hoist frame and drain
oil from gearcase. Replace plug.
b. Remove oil level plug from side of hoist.
c. Refill gearcase through oil filler to proper level (bottom of
oil level plug hole) using Automatic Transmission Fluid -
DEXRON® Type. This is an all weather oil available from
all major oil companies. 1-1/2 pints of oil are required.
4-5. LUBRICATE UPPER HOOK AND LOWER BLOCK
ASSEMBLY.
a. Apply a few drops of graphite suspension oil on shank of
upper hook where it enters frame.
SECTION V - MAINTENANCE
5-1. GENERAL. Preventive maintenance services required on
YALE KALC Air Hoists are for the most part, simple periodic
inspection procedures to determine condition of hoist
components. Below are suggested inspection procedures,
based on daily average hoist usage.
5-2. THIRTY DAY INSPECTION. Hoist may be left suspended.
a. Inspect Load Chain.
(1) Operate hoist under load and observe operation of
chain over sprocket in both directions of chain travel.
Chain should feed smoothly into and away from the
sprocket. It chain binds, jumps or is noisy, first see
that it is clean and properly lubricated. If trouble
persists, inspect chain as outlined below.
(2) Clean chain for inspection. Examine visually for
gouges, nicks, weld splatter, corrosion or distorted
links. Slacken chain and check bearing surfaces
between links for wear, Figure 5-1. Greatest wear will
often occur at sprocket at high or low point of lift,
particularly when hoist is subjected to repetitive lifting
cycles. Case hardness of chain is about .015" deep.
Chain must be replaced before the case is worn
through. Also check chain for elongation using a vernier
caliper (Figure 5-2). Select an unworn, un-stretched
section of chain (usually at slack or tail end) and
measure and record the length over the number of
chain links (pitches) indicated in Figure 5-2. Measure
and record the same length of a worn section in the
load side of the chain. Obtain the amount of wear by
subtracting the measurement of the unworn section
from the measurement of the worn section. If the result
(amount of wear) is greater than the amount specified
in the "ALLOWABLE CHAIN WEAR" table, the chain
has elongated beyond the maximum allowable length
and must be replaced. Chain with excessively pitted,
corroded, nicked, gouged, twisted or worn links should
be replaced using only factory approved chain. Never
weld or attempt to repair coil chain.
Load chain for spark resistant models is made of
stainless steel. Surface hardness treatment is no more
than .001" deep and the core is lower in hardness
Before performing any internal work on hoist, be
certain air is shut off and pressure is released.
WARNING
4-3. LUBRICATE LOAD CHAIN. A small amount of lubricant
will greatly increase load chain life, therefore, chain should not
be allowed to run without lubricant. Chain should be cleaned
and lubricated as directed in Paragraph a, below. User should
set up a regular schedule for chain lubrication after observing
operating conditions for a few days.
a. Under ordinary conditions only weekly attention will be
necessary. Under hot and dirty conditions it may be
necessary to clean chain at least once a day and lubricate
it several times between cleanings. Thoroughly clean chain
with an oil solvent and relubricate by coating it lightly
with bar and chain oil (LUBRIPLATE or equal). Make
sure that lubricant coats wear surfaces between links.
b. YALE KALC spark resistant air hoist models
use stainless steel load chain that must be well lubricated
at all times and must be inspected daily when in use.
See Paragraph 5-2.a.(2).
b. Apply a few drops of graphite suspension oil on shank of
lower hook where it enters lower block. Hook rotation
bearing may be removed for cleaning and relubricating if
necessary. See Paragraph 7-5.
c. On lower block assemblies with 2 or 3 lines of load chain
also apply a good grade of bearing grease through
pressure fitting in end of sprocket pin to lubricate bearing
in chain sprocket.
d. On models with 3 lines of load chain lubricate sprocket in
hanger bracket with a few drops of graphite suspension
oil in hole provided in center of sprocket hub.

Figure 5-2. Check Coil Chain Using Vernier Caliper
ALLOWABLE CHAIN WEAR - ELONGATION
When replacing coil load chain, use only factory
approved chain conforming to factory specifications
for material, hardness, strength and link dimensions.
Chain not conforming to YALE hoist specifications may
be dangerous as it will not fit in the load sprocket and
chain guide correctly, causing damage to hoist, and it
will wear prematurely, deform and eventually break.

(3) Removing and Replacing Coil Load Chain.
(a) Replacement coil load chain is installed by
attaching it to tail end of old chain, after
disconnecting old chain from side of hoist frame
and removing limit stop. New chain is then run
into hoist as old chain is run out. Use open "C"
links, Figures 5-3 and 5-4, for attaching chains.
Links must be identical in size to hoist chain -
5/16" wire size with .858" pitch length for all models.
Be certain that all welds on links of replacement
chain face away from center of load sprocket.
(b) Remove lower block assembly and actuator from
old chain and attach them to replacement chain at
end which was just run through hoist. Install limit
stop (as noted below) on other end of chain and
anchor chain to side of hoist frame.
Note: Install limit stop as shown in chart on page 5.

than standard alloy steel load chain. For these reasons
the rated capacity of spark resistant models is lower
than that of standard models as follows:
Do not assume that load chain is safe because it
measures below replacement points given herein.
Other factors, such as those mentioned in visual
checks above, may render chain unsafe or ready for
replacement long before elongation replacement is
necessary.
WARNING
Figure 5-3. Open "C" Link for Removing and
Installing Link Load Chain
Use one or two "C" links to orient chain for chain
anchor screw. Position first link of new chain to be flat
against hoist housing without twisting the chain.
NOTICE
Page 9
(4) Check connection of chain to lower block on single
reeved and triple reeved hoists. Replace parts showing
evidence of damage, twisting or elongation.
(5) Check connection of chain to anchor inside hoist frame
on double-reeved hoists. Replace parts showing
evidence of damage, twisting or elongation. (Also see
Section VII, Paragraph 7-2.a.(2).
(6) Lubricate load chain before using hoist. See Paragraph
4-3, Section IV.
b. Inspect Lower Block.
(1) Check for bent or distorted hook. If hook is opened
beyond the dimension given in Figure 5-5, it must be
replaced. Also check to see that hook swivels and is
free to pivot. Lubricate these points if necessary.
When installing coil load chain do not attempt to hand
feed chain into hoist, or use a piece of wire In place of
the method described herein. To do so may result in
serious internal damage to hoist, as coil chain links
must be properly seated in chain sprocket before chain
Is run into hoist.
NOTICE
Note: In the event the old chain is to be removed from the
hoist and reinstalled, a short length of chain (about 18" long)
must be run into hoist when the old chain is removed. This
short length can then be used in the same manner as shown
in Paragraph 5-2.a(3). Be sure to use the proper number of
open "C" links in order to correctly position end link on tail end
of chain to fit anchor at side of hoist frame.

WARNING
C. Inspect Upper Suspension.
All models utilize an upper suspension bushing to
attach the upper suspension to the hoist frame. The
bushing must be threaded all the way into the frame,
and the keeper must contact a flat on the suspension
bushing. The suspension bushing keeper screw must
be kept tight. Failure to do so could result in the
suspension separating from the hoist.

Check to see that lock plate is in place on lug and
screw holding it is tight.
(3) On double reeved hoists, check to see that upper lock
plate securing hook or lug bushing is in place and
screws holding it are tight. Lubricate hook shank.
(4) Check hook latch. Replace damaged or broken parts.
(5) Check suspension bushing, keeper and screw, make
sure bushing is screwed in all the way and keeper
screw is tight.
d. Inspect Motor and Frame.
(1) Check to see that bolts securing motor to frame are
tight. Also check for any visible damage to motor,
supply head or muffler, such as a cracked or dented
housing. Replace damaged parts.
(2) Check hoist frame for signs of visible damage. If frame
shows evidence of fracture, the hoist should be
disassembled and inspected for further signs of
damage from possible overloading. Replace damaged
parts. Also check condition of limit stop.
e. Check Oil Level. Remove oil level plug (Figure 4-1). If oil
level is not even with bottom of tapped hole, add Automatic
Transmission Fluid, DEXTRON® Type, to bring proper
level.
5-3. SIX-MONTH INSPECTION OR 500-750 HOURS OF
OPERATION. Hoist may be left suspended.
a. Check control cable wire strain reliever to see that it is in
good condition and securely attached to supply head
assembly.
b. Change Gearcase Oil. See Section IV, Paragraph 4-4.
c. Relubricate Load Chain. See Section IV, Paragraph 4-3.
d. Lubricate Upper Hook and Lower Block. See Section
IV, Paragraph 4-5.
5-4. ANNUAL INSPECTION. Hoist must be disconnected from
air service and removed from overhead suspension. Hoists
subjected to severe service or to adverse environments
should be examined weekly or as conditions warrant.
a. Hoist should be partially disassembled as necessary to
inspect hoist parts noted in Paragraphs b through e below.
Refer to Section VII for disassembly and reassembly
steps as noted.
b. Inspect Pendant Throttle Control Assembly. Remove
springs and valves (Paragraphs 7-6.a.(3) through 7-6.a.(5).
Check condition of springs and valves. Replace worn or
damaged parts.
c. Inspect Supply Head Assembly. Remove supply head
assembly (Paragraph 7-7.a) and disassemble it as
outlined. Check condition of valves. Replace worn or
damaged parts.
d. Inspect Air Motor. Remove air motor assembly (Paragraph
7-2.d) and disassemble it as outline (Paragraph 7-8).
Check for worn or damaged rotor vanes. Inspect ball
bearings and check condition of rotor, shaft, cylinder and
end plates. Any repairs beyond replacing vanes, springs,
and pins would best be done at an authorized YALE
repair station. Repair or replace defective parts as noted
in following steps:
(1) Rotor. Examine end faces for roughness and vane
slots for wear and burrs. A new vane should move in
and out without binding. Smooth roughness on end
faces and remove sharp edges or burrs at slot corners
using a hone. Replace motor if rotor and shaft
assembly is excessively worn or damaged.
(2) Cylinder. Examine surface of bore diameter for rough
circular grooves from scoring. If the cylinder is badly
scored, it must be replaced. A badly scored cylinder
cannot be restored by honing, since it will only enlarge
bore diameter, widening seal point between rotor and
cylinder, resulting in loss of speed and power. If
cylinder is replaced, new shim gaskets of the proper
thickness are required to maintain the original spacing
of the end plates.
(3) End Plates. Check faces of front and rear end plates
for wear of scoring. If wear depth is greater than .005
inch, end plates should be replaced. Light score marks
can be lapped out with 150-grit abrasive cloth on a
flat surface.
(4) Rotor Vanes and Springs. Inspect the rotor vanes for
wear, scoring, warpage, or other damage. Compare
the width of the old vane with a new one to determine
the amount of wear that has taken place on the width.
(1) On hook suspended models, check for bent or distorted
hook. If hook is opened beyond the dimension given
in Figure 5-6, it must be replaced. Also check to see
that hook pivots. Lubricate if necessary. Single reeved
hoists have a stop pin installed in frame adjacent to
hook to restrict hook rotation. Check to see that pin is
not sheared off and stop lug on hook shank is not
broken.
Page 11
Figure 5-7. Rotor Vane
(5) Motor Bearings. Check motor bearings, especially the
bearing at the extended shaft end of the motor, for
excessive looseness or binding. Do not, under any
circumstances, wash sealed bearings nor blow off with
a high pressure air hose. Replace damaged or worn
bearings. See Paragraph 7-8.
e. Reassemble and Test Hoist. Reassemble hoist as outlined
in Section VII, Paragraph 7-9. After reassembly, test
hoist in accordance with Paragraph 7-10.
5-5. INSPECTION: 5000 HOURS "ON" TIME OR 5 YEARS
ELAPSED TIME. Hoist must be removed from overhead
suspension.
If the old vane is more than 3/64" less than the new
vane (in width), it must be replaced. An old vane that
shows wear on the thickness must also be replaced.
Vanes worn in this manner will eventually, fail, cause
costly repairs, and unexpected down-time on the hoist.
Warped vanes must also be replaced as the vanes
must move in and out of the rotor slot without binding.
Inspect leaf springs and centering pins. Worn areas
on springs can cause eventual spring breakage and
motor lock up. Replace worn springs, particularly when
vanes are replaced.
a. Disassemble Hoist into Subassemblies. Follow procedure
outlined in Section VII, Paragraph 7-2.
b. Motor shaft oil seal and "0" ring, sprocket shaft bearing
and seal, all gaskets should be replaced.
c. Inspect Load Brake and Overload Clutch. Disassemble
load brake and clutch assembly as outlined in Paragraph
7-4. Friction discs should be discarded and replaced with
new discs. Check load brake friction surfaces on flange,
ratchet assembly and gear clutch cone. Replace parts if
badly scored or worn. Check condition of pawl and ratchet
assembly. If pawl, ratchet teeth or pawl spring are broken,
damaged or badly worn, replace complete assembly.
Check contact faces of load brake cam and gear center.
Brake gear and pinion teeth should be inspected for wear
or broken teeth. Clean parts thoroughly with an oil solvent
before reassembly.
Note: The overload clutch assembly should not be
disassembled as it is preset at the factory to provide
proper clutch pressure for a specific hoist capacity range.
If there is evidence of the clutch slipping or wear or
damage to the clutch components, the complete clutch
assembly should be replaced or sent to an authorized
YALE Hoist Repair Station to be rebuilt and properly
adjusted to factory specifications.
d. Inspect Sprocket and Intermediate Gears.
(1) Check condition of gear teeth on intermediate gear
and pinion shaft assembly. Replace worn or damaged
parts.
(2) Check condition of teeth or pockets on chain sprocket.
Replace worn or damaged parts.
e. Reassemble and Test Hoist. Reassemble hoist from
subassemblies following procedure outlined in Paragraph
7-9. After assembly is complete, test hoist as outlined in
Paragraphs 7-10 and 7-11.

SECTION VII - DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY
7-1. GENERAL.
a. The following disassembly and reassembly instructions
apply to all models of YALE KALC Air Hoists. Where
needed, variations to instructions are provided to cover
differences between models (suspensions, load chain,
reeving, capacity sizes) with applicable models specifically
noted.
b. A complete tear down procedure is given. However, if
only certain parts require repair or replacement, a partial
tear down may be performed, using applicable portions
of the instructions.
c. For easier handling during disassembly, the following
disassembly steps may, where conditions permit, be
completed before hoist is removed from its overhead
suspension or disconnected from its air supply: Remove
chain container, if hoist is so equipped. Remove lower
block and load chain assembly, following procedure
outlined in Paragraph 7-2.a. Drain and discard gearcase
oil, by removing plug at bottom of frame.
d. These hoists contain precision machined parts and should
be handled with care at disassembly and at reassembly.
When removing or installing parts with press fits, be
careful to apply pressure evenly. On ball bearings, apply
pressure to face of inner or outer race, whichever is
adjacent to mating part. This will avoid damage to bearing
races from brinelling by pressing through bearing balls.
Apply a thin film of sealant to parts having a press fit
when they are installed.

(3) Remove load brake gear and overload clutch
assembly from output pinion shaft. Pull the spring
from its recess in clutch cone (Figure 7-21) but do
not further disassemble gear and clutch assembly.
See "Note" below.
Note: Disassembly of the load brake gear and
overload clutch assembly (Figure 7-21) is not
recommended. Clutch pressure is preset by the
factory at assembly to provide the correct torque to
allow the clutch to refuse loads within a specified
range (110% of rated load to 180% rated load). It is
suggested whenever there is a need to repair or
readjust the gear and clutch assembly that it be sent
to an authorized YALE Hoist Repair Station where
adequate tools, fixtures and appropriate test
equipment is available.

(4) The load brake pawl and ratchet is a riveted
assembly and is not to be disassembled.
b. Reassembly.
(1) Before assembly, all parts should be cleaned and
inspected to determine their serviceability. Replace
parts that are excessively worn or damaged.
(2) Reassemble load brake parts following a reverse
procedure of the disassembly steps listed above,
observing the assembly steps (3) through (6) below.
(3) Before installing spring in its recess in center of
clutch cone (Figure 7-21) apply a good grade of ball
bearing grease to inside of recess. Spring must be
positioned exactly as illustrated, butted against pin.
(4) When installing pawl and ratchet assembly on load
brake shaft, be certain that teeth on ratchet face are
in the same direction as shown in Figure 7-20. The
ratchet assembly should rotate freely when turned
counterclockwise and the pawl should engage
ratchet teeth when unit is turned clockwise.
(5) When installing brake flange position it with chamfer
facing friction disc, Figure 7-19.
(6) The brake spring must be pre-loaded at assembly to
a torque of from 10 to 14 lb. ft. This is accomplished
using a plumber's strap wrench to wind (rotate) load
brake gear to set up spring (Figure 7-22) while
pressing brake flange into place using an arbor
press. Clamp pinion end of shaft into a portable vise
to keep brake from rotating in press. Use brass or
copper jaw plates on vise to protect pinion gear
teeth. Wind gear counterclockwise (viewing brake
from flange end) with plumber's strap wrench and
press down on flange until snap ring groove in shaft
is exposed allowing snap ring to be installed. Use
extreme care not to over wind spring as yield will
result and final spring torque will be reduced. Do not
wind gear beyond point necessary to install snap
*ring in groove.

7-9. REASSEMBLY OF HOIST FROM SUBASSEMBLIES.
a. General. The procedure to be followed to reassemble the
hoist from subassemblies is in reverse order of the
disassembly steps outlined in Paragraph 7-2. Listed below
are special precautions which should be observed to
assure proper assembly.
b. Assembly of Load Brake Thrust Washers. When
reinstalling load brake assembly be certain thrust washers
are properly installed at both ends of load brake shaft, as
noted below.
(1) A bronze thrust washer with a lug on one side belongs
on pinion end of shaft and must be installed so that
its lug engages the special slot located on spotface
surrounding bearing bore inside gearcase cover. Use
heavy grease to hold washer in proper position in
cover during assembly.
(2) A 5/8" I.D. steel thrust washer is to be installed on the
brake flange end (end opposite pinion) of load brake
assembly.
c. Assembly of Load Chain.
Note: Coil chain must be installed so welds on vertical
links face away from the load sprocket.
(1) Install load chain over sprocket
before load brake
assembly is installed.
Insert anchor end of chain (end
opposite lower block on single reeved models) into
chain guide opening on far side of hoist (viewing frame
from anchor screw side). Rotate sprocket gear by hand
counterclockwise as chain is fed into opening. When
sufficient chain has been run into hoist to reach anchor
position, plus a slack loop, install limit actuator on
anchor end of load chain (see (2) below) and attach
end of chain to frame with special fillister head screw.
Be certain chain is not twisted.
(2) When installing limit actuator on anchor end of load
chain attach it according to chart in Section 3-2.
(3) When installing limit actuator at lower block, single
line models only, actuator slides freely on chain. Place
urethane bumper above the limit actuator.
d. Lubricate Hoist. Lubricate hoist as outlined in Section IV.
7-10. TESTING HOIST.
a. General. After completion of reassembly and before
placing hoist in service, hoist should be tested to insure
safe operation. To test: suspend hoist from an overhead
supporting member of sufficient strength to carry rated
load; connect to an air supply of the specified capacity
and perform the following checks and adjustments.
b. Check that load hook will travel in the correct direction
when up and down levers are depressed. Make correction,
if necessary, by interchanging the two supply hoses at
the pendant station. Upper ends of each supply hose are
made to "nest" one above the other. Down supply hose
has a speed adjustment screw as part of the elbow fitting.
c. Check Upper and Lower Limit Stop Operation. To
determine if upper and lower limit stop functions properly,
make the following checks.
(1) Depress "UP" lever and inch limit actuator (on single
reeved models) or lower block up into limit stop to see
that clutch will slip.
(2) Depress "DOWN" lever and inch limit actuator up into
limit stop to see that clutch will slip.
d. Check Hoist With Capacity Load. Attach rated capacity
load (or load to be handled) to lower hook and check
hoist operation. If hoist does not lift rated load, refer to
Paragraph 7-11.
Page 22
(1) Operate hoist to raise load. When control is released,
hoist should stop and hold load at that level.
(2) Operate hoist to lower load a short distance, then
release control. Hoist should stop and hold load at
that level.
(3) If hoist does not stop or hold load refer to Section VI.
e. Adjust speed of lowering with load to be handled, as
required, by positioning screw in elbow fitting of down
supply hose.
7-11. TEST PROCEDURE FOR CHECKING OPERATION OF
OVERLOAD CLUTCH.
a. General. The overload clutch must be tested using known
weights. The following prerequisites (Paragraphs (1)
through (4)) must be strictly observed in performing this
test.
(1) A qualified person shall determine before testing, that
all structures supporting the hoist are adequately
strong to withstand the test load of 200 percent of
rated hoist load, whether hoist is tested in installed
position or moved to a designated test facility.
(2) Loads used for testing must be accurately known.
(3) Test shall be made only by a qualified operator
thoroughly familiar with the hoist and the purpose of
the test.
(4) Provide adequate and proper rigging to insure test
loads are securely attached, properly balanced, and
will lift level.
b. Test Procedure. With the above prerequisites satisfied
and hoist properly connected to air supply, proceed with
the test as follows:
(1) Using a known load equal to rated load of hoist,
operate hoist to lift load. Raise load high enough to
be certain the entire load is freely suspended. Clutch
should not slip at rated load. If hoist does not lift
rated load, clutch requires adjustment. Refer to Section
V, Paragraph 5-5.c.
(2) Increase load to 200 percent rated load and operate
hoist to lift the load. Clutch must slip, causing the
hoist to refuse to lift the load. If hoist lifts this overload,
the overload clutch is out of adjustment and must be
readjusted. Refer to Section V, Paragraph 5-5.c.
(3) If clutch slips as required in step (2) above, continue
to run hoist (clutch slipping - hoist refusing to lift load)
for no more than five (5) cycles of one (1) second
each.
(4) Remove excess weight to return the load to rated
hoist load. Lift rated load one final time to be certain
that the clutch does not slip and that the hoist lifts the
rated load.
