SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Each Lodestar Electric Hoist is built in accordance with the specifications contained herein and at the time of manufacture com-
plied with our interpretation of applicable sections of the *American Society of Mechanical Engineers Code B30.16 “Overhead
Hoists,” the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70) and the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Since OSHA states the
National Electrical Code applies to all electric hoists, installers are required to provide current overload protection and grounding
[on the branch circuit section] in keeping with the code. Check each installation for compliance with the application, operation
and maintenance sections of these articles.

The safety laws for elevators, lifting of people and for dumbwaiters specify construction details that are not incorporated into the
hoists. For such applications, refer to the requirements of applicable state and local codes, and the American National Safety
Code for elevators, dumbwaiters, escalators and moving walks (ASME A17.1). Columbus McKinnon Corporation cannot be
responsible for applications other than those for which CM equipment is intended.
*Copies of this standard can be obtained from ASME Order Department, 22 Law Drive, Box 2300, Fairfield, NJ 07007-2300, U.S.A.

FOREWORD
This manual contains important information to help you properly install, operate and maintain your hoist for maximum performance,
economy and safety.

Please study its contents thoroughly before putting your hoist into operation. By practicing correct operating procedures and by
carrying out the recommended preventive maintenance suggestions, you will experience long, dependable and safe service.

After you have completely familiarized yourself with the contents of this manual, we recommend that you carefully file it for future
reference.

The information herein is directed to the proper use, care and maintenance of the hoist and does not comprise a handbook on
the broad subject of rigging. Rigging can be defined as the process of lifting and moving heavy loads using hoists and other
information, we recommended consulting a standard textbook on the subject.

ACCESSORIES
HOOK SUSPENSIONS
Swivel and rigid type hook suspensions (see Figure 1) are
available for all Lodestar Electric Hoists. However, rigid type
hook suspensions are normally recommended for most appli-
cation. The hook suspensions are intended for suspending
the hoist from a trolley which has a single load bar (such as
CM’s® Series 632 and 633 Trolleys) or for suspending the
hoist from a fixed structure.

and supplied complete with independent controls and wiring,
including a four directional control station. A rigid lug sus-
pension (see Figure 2) is required to suspend the hoist from
the Motor Driven Trolley. The hoist and trolley are joined elec-
trically by connecting the hoist control and power cords (sup-
plied) into the hoist or trolley. The trolley is adjustable for
operation on a range of American Standard “S” beams as
indicated in Table 1, and it will also operate on flat flanged
beams.

Now install the trolley on the beam by sliding one side frame
out far enough to allow all the trackwheels to clear the beam

the beam, draw the side frames together and tighten the nuts
snugly. Insert the cotter pins through the slotted nuts and
holes in the supension bolts and spread the legs of the cotter
pins to secure.

1. Make temporary connections at the power supply.
2. Operate (UP) control in control station momentarily. If
hook raises, connections are correct and can be
made permanent.
3. If hook lowers, it is necessary to change direction by
interchanging the Red lead and the Black lead of hoist

should the internal wiring of control station or hoist be
changed to reverse hook direction. The wiring is
inspected and tested before leaving the factory.

L
! WARNING
Allowing the hook block to run into the bottom of the hoist
when raising a load or allowing the chain to become taut
between the loose end screw and the frame when lowering a
load may break the chain and allow the load to drop.

TO AVOID INJURY:
Do not allow the hook block to contact the bottom of the hoist
or the loose end chain to become taut.

Also, do not force the Lodestar Protector to compensate for


improperly adjusted limit switches or reverse voltage
phasing.

CHECKING FOR TWIST IN LOAD CHAIN

latch is to help maintain the hook in position while the
chain is slack before taking up slack chain.

L
! WARNING
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.

11. Take up a slack load chain carefully and start load easily
to avoid shock and jerking of hoist load chain. If there is
any evidence of overloading, immediately lower the load
and remove the excess load.
12. Do not allow the load to swing or twist while hoisting.
13. Never operate the hoist when flammable materials or
vapors are present. Electrical devices produce arcs or
sparks that can cause a fire or explosion.
14. 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 dimished control.

Suspension components for damage, cracks, wear and operation. Also
check suspension adapter screws for proper tightness-(see page 5).
j) Inspect the loose end link, loose end screw and dead end block on double
reeved units. Replace worn or distorted parts.
k) Inspect the suspension lug or hook for excess free play or rotation. Replace
worn parts as evidenced by excess free play or rotation.
l) Inspect for signs of lubricant leaks at the gasket between the gear housing
and back frame. Tighten screws holding back frame to gear housing. If leak
persists, repack housing and gears with grease and install a new gasket.
m) On the Models RT, RT-2, RRT and RRT-2:
1. Inspect shackle and lug pins for wear. Replace if worn.
2. Check dead end screw in lower hook block for wear and tighteness*.
Replace if worn.
3. Check shackle pin for proper seating in groove of load bracket.
4. Inspect cloverleaf plate on bottom of sheave hanger for wear or burring.
Replace if worn.
5. Inspect sheave stud nut and seat for wear. Replace if worn or damaged.

*When tightening the special, dead end socket head screw, it should be held firmly in place and torqued from the nut end only to avoid damage
to the screw and/or dead end chain link (Refer to step J on page 49).

ELECTRICAL DATA
TO DETECT OPEN AND SHORT CIRCUITS IN ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.

Open circuits in the coils of electrical components may be detected by isolating the coil and checking for continuity with an ohm-
meter or with the unit in series with a light or bell circuit.

Shorted turns are indicated by a current draw substantially above normal (connect ammeter in series with suspected element
and impose normal voltage) or D.C. resistance substantially below normal. The current method is recommended for coils with
very low D.C. resistance.

Motor current draw in the stator should be measured with the rotor in place and running. Brake, relay and contactor coil current
should be measured with the core iron in operating position.
