WARNING TAG
Each hoist is supplied from the factory with the warning tag
shown. If tag is not attached to your unit, order a new tag and
install it. Refer to the parts list for the part number. Read and obey
all warnings and other safety information attached to this hoist.
Tag may be shown smaller than actual size.
SAFE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The following warnings and operating instructions have been
adapted in part from American National Standard ASME B30.16
and are intended to avoid unsafe operating practices which might
lead to injury or property damage.
13. Never operate a hoist when load is not centered under top
hook. Do not “side pull” or “yard.”
14. Never operate a hoist with twisted, kinked, “capsized” or
damaged load chain.
15. Do not force a chain or hook into place by hammering.
16. Never insert point of hook into a chain link.
17. Be certain load is properly seated in saddle of hook, and hook
latch is engaged.
Ingersoll-Rand recognizes that most companies who use hoists
have a safety program in force in their plants. 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.
18. Do not support load on tip of hook.
19. Never run load chain over a sharp edge. Use a sheave.
20. When using two hoists to suspend one load, select two hoists
each having a rated capacity equal to or more than the load.
This provides adequate safety in the event of a sudden load
shift.
21. Pay attention to the load at all times when operating hoist.
22. Always ensure that you, and all other people, are clear of load
path. Do not lift a load over people.
23. Never use hoist for lifting or lowering people, and never
allow anyone to stand on a suspended load.
24. Ease slack out of chain and sling when starting a lift. Do not
jerk load.
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.
1. Only allow personnel trained in safety and operation to
operate hoist.
2. Only operate a hoist if you are physically fit to do so.
3. When a “DO NOT OPERATE” sign is placed on hoist, do
not operate hoist until sign has been removed by designated
personnel.
25. Do not swing a suspended load.
4. Before each shift, the operator should inspect hoist for wear
or damage.
26. Do not leave a load suspended when hoist is unattended or
not in use.
5. Never use a hoist which inspection indicates is worn or
damaged.
6. Periodically, inspect hoist thoroughly and replace worn or
damaged parts. Refer to “INSPECTION” section.
7. Lubricate hoist regularly. Refer to “LUBRICATION”
section.
8. Do not use hoist if hook latch has been sprung or broken.
9. Check that hook latches are engaged before using.
10. Never splice a hoist chain by inserting a bolt between links.
11. Only lift loads less than or equal to rated capacity of hoist.
Refer to “SPECIFICATIONS” section.
27. Never weld or cut a load suspended by the hoist.
28. Never use hoist chain as a welding electrode.
29. Do not operate hoist if chain jumping, excessive noise,
jamming, overloading or binding occurs.
30. Keep load from hitting load chain.
31. Only operate the hoist with manual power.
32. After use, or when in a non-operational mode, hoist should be
secured against unauthorized and unwarranted use.
12. Never use the hoist chain as a sling.

INSTALLATION
Prior to installing hoist, carefully inspect it for possible shipping
Familiarize operators and personnel responsible for hoist
installation and service with ASME B30.16 specifications and this
manual prior to placing unit into service. All requirements of this
specification, including testing should be met before approving
hoist for operation.
damage. Hoists are supplied fully lubricated from the factory.
Lubrication of the load chain is recommended before initial hoist
operation.
• Depending on model selected, hoist may weigh up to 485 lbs.
(220 kg). If parts of the hoist are dropped, they can cause
injury, death or property damage. Adequately support hoist
during installation.
• Owners and users are advised to examine specific, local or
other regulations, including ASME standards and/or OSHA
Regulations which may apply to a particular type of use of this
product before installing or putting hoist to use.
The VL2 manual chain hoist must be used in a vertical position to
provide a straight line pull from top to bottom hook. The hoist
must be positioned so that it does not contact the support members
when in use. When operating in limited areas suitable lifting
attachments or slings must be used to prevent hoist body and hand
chain from being obstructed.
(Dwg. MHP0436)
Initial Operating Checks
Installing Chain Container
Operate hoist with a test load (10% of rated capacity) by raising
and lowering this load several times. Verify brake operation with
this light load prior to applying heavier loads.
Refer to Dwg. MHP0321 on page 19. Position chain container to
ensure minimum contact with handchain. On larger CC-8 and CC-
9 style chain containers which use S-Hooks to support chain
container, ensure hook ends are bent closed.
• Each time a load is lifted, the operation of the brake should
be checked by raising load slightly and stopping to ensure
brake will hold load before continuing to lift.
OPERATION
The four most important aspects of hoist operation are:
1. Follow all safety instructions when operating hoist.
2. Allow only personnel trained in safety and operation of this
hoist to operate hoist.
3. Subject each hoist to a regular inspection and maintenance
procedure.
Hoist Operation
When facing hand chain side of hoist:
Pull down on right hand chain (clockwise) to raise load.
Pull down on left hand chain (counterclockwise) to lower load.
4. Be aware of the hoist capacity and weight of load at all times.
On 15 and 20 ton hoists, use two operators, one on each of the two
hand chains. To keep the load chain centered in the block
assemblies, operate hoist units simultaneously and at the same
speed. An equal amount of unloaded chain must be maintained
under each hoist body.
• Hoist is not designed or suitable for lifting, lowering or
moving persons. Never lift loads over people.
• Do not allow load chain, on 15 and 20 ton hoists, to
accumulate on one side (under one hoist body). Excessive
loading to load chain anchor may occur resulting in a falling
load which can cause death, injury or property damage.

Storing the Hoist
1. Always store hoist in a no load condition.
2. Wipe off all dirt and water.
3. Oil the chain, hook pins and hook latch pins.
4. Hang in a dry place.
• The clicking sound of the pawl on the ratchet gear is normal
when a load is being raised.
5. Before returning hoist to service follow instructions for
Hoists not in Regular Service in “INSPECTION” section.
INSPECTION
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.
• All new, altered or modified equipment should be inspected
and tested by personnel trained in safety, operation and
maintenance of this equipment to ensure safe operation at
rated specifications before placing equipment in service.
Frequent and periodic inspections should be performed on
equipment in regular service. Frequent inspections are visual
examinations performed by operators or service personnel and
include observations made during routine equipment operation.
Periodic inspections are thorough inspections conducted by
personnel trained in the safety, operation and maintenance of this
equipment. ASME B30.16 states inspection intervals depend upon
the nature of the critical components of the equipment and severity
of usage.
Frequent Inspection
The Manual Chain Hoist should be inspected at the beginning of
each shift. Visual inspections should also be conducted during
regular service for any damage or evidence of malfunction which
appears between regular inspections.
1. OPERATION. Check for visual signs or abnormal noises
which could indicate a potential problem. Do not operate a
hoist unless the chain feeds through the hoist and hook block
smoothly. Listen for “clicking”, binding or malfunctioning.
The clicking sound of the pawl on the ratchet gear is normal
when a load is being raised. If chain binds, jumps, or is
excessively noisy, clean and lubricate the chain. If problem
persists, replace the chain. Do not operate the hoist until all
problems have been corrected. Check that hand chain moves
freely and without binding or excessive drag. Hook should
stop moving when hand chain stops moving.
2. HOOKS. Check for wear or damage, increased throat width,
bent shank or twisting of hook. Replace hooks that exceed
the throat opening discard width (15%) shown in Table 1
refer to Dwg. MHP0040 on page 6, or exceed a 10º twist
refer to Dwg. MHP0111 on page 7. If hook latch snaps past
tip of hook, hook is sprung and must be replaced. Check hook
support bearings for lubrication and damage. Check hooks
swivel easily and smoothly. Repair or lubricate as necessary.
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 trained in
safety, operation and maintenance of this equipment. A
determination as to whether a condition constitutes a safety hazard
must be decided, 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.
• The external placement of coded marks on equipment
identifying completed inspections and operationally certified
equipment is an acceptable method of documenting periodic
inspections in place of written records.

(minute parallel lines) and chain wear, including bearing
surfaces between chain links. Replace a chain that fails any of
the inspections. Check lubrication and lubricate if necessary.
Refer to “Load Chain” in “LUBRICATION” section.
Disassembly may be required for HEAVY or SEVERE usage.
Keep accumulative records of periodic inspections to provide a
basis for continuing evaluation. Inspect all items in “Frequent
Inspection.” Also inspect the following:
1. FASTENERS. Check rivets, capscrews, nuts, cotter pins and
other fasteners on hooks, hoist body and chain bucket, if
used. Replace if missing and tighten or secure if loose.
2. ALL COMPONENTS. Inspect for wear, damage, distortion,
deformation 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 for cracks. Use magnetic particle or
dye penetrant to check for cracks. Inspect hook retaining
parts. Tighten, repair or replace if necessary. Refer to the
latest edition of ASME B30.10 (Hooks) for additional hook
inspection information.
4. CHAIN SHEAVES. Check for excessive wear or damage.
Replace if necessary.
5. BRAKES. Ensure proper operation. Brake must hold hoist
rated capacity. If load test indicates the need, disassemble.
Brake discs must be free of excess oil, any grease, unglazed,
uniform in thickness and at least 5/64 in. (2 mm) thick. Check
all other brake surfaces for wear, deformation or foreign
deposits. Inspect pawl brake. Teeth of ratchet gear should be
undamaged, and should stop gear rotation in the
(Dwg. MHP0111)
counterclockwise direction. Check pawl spring for damage.
Clean and replace components as necessary.
6. SUPPORTING STRUCTURE. If a permanent structure is
used, inspect for continued ability to support load.
7. LABELS AND TAGS. Check for presence and legibility.
Replace if necessary.
8. END ANCHOR. Ensure end anchor on chain hoist is
engaged and unbent. Repair if damaged, replace if missing.
Refer to “Attaching End of Load Chain” in
(Dwg. MHP0102)
“MAINTENANCE” section.
9. LOAD CHAIN. Measure chain for stretching by measuring
across five link sections all along chain. Refer to Dwg.
MHP0041on page 8 and Table 2. When any five links in the

1. Lubricate each link of chain weekly. Apply new lubricant
over existing layer.
Load Chain
2. In severe applications or corrosive environments, lubricate
more frequently than normal.
3. Lubricate hook and hook latch pivot points with same
lubricant used on load chain.
4. To remove rust or abrasive dust build-up, clean chain with an
acid free solvent. After cleaning lubricate chain.
5. Use Ingersoll-Rand LUBRI-LINK-GREEN® or a SAE 50
to 90 EP oil.
• Failure to maintain clean and well lubricated load chain may
result in chain failure causing injury, death or substantial
property damage.
MAINTENANCE
• Never perform maintenance on hoist while it is supporting a
load.
• Before performing maintenance, tag hoist:
WARNING - DO NOT OPERATE -
EQUIPMENT BEING REPAIRED.
• Only allow personnel trained in operating and servicing this
product to perform maintenance.
(Dwg. MHP0042)
• After performing maintenance on the hoist, test to 125% of
its rated capacity before returning to service. Testing to more
than 125% of rated capacity might be required to comply with
standards and regulations set forth in areas outside of the
USA.
5. Remove “C” link and old load chain.
6. Anchor load chain:
a. On 1/2 to 2 ton and 8 ton hoists, load end of load chain
(47) is attached to bottom hook block.
b. On 3, 5 and 10 ton hoists load end of load chain (47) is
attached to top hook frame.
Installing New Load Chain
c. On 15 and 20 ton hoists, load end of load chain (47) to
attached to end anchor (21 and 22) of second hoist body.
For information on connecting unloaded end of load chain
(47) refer to “Attaching End of Load Chain” section.
• To prevent a falling load which can cause death, injury or
property damage, hook (42) must be on left fall of load chain
(47) and right fall must be attached to hoist body with end
anchor (21 and 22). Right and left are designated when viewed
from hand chain side of hoist.
• Do not remove old load chain from hoist. Old load chain can
be used to install new load chain.
1. Remove end of load chain from end anchor (21 and 22).
2. Make a “C” link in new load chain by grinding through one
side of end link. On 1/2 to 2, 8, 15 and 20 ton hoists the load
chain must have an even number of links, not counting the
“C” link, to avoid twisting. On 3, 5 and 10 ton hoists the load
chain must have an odd number of links, not counting the “C”
link, to avoid twisting.
(Dwg. MHP0020)
3. Using a “C” link, join old load chain to new load chain. If old
load chain was installed correctly, the “C” link assures end
link of new load chain will be correctly reeved through the
hoist. Be sure welds of “standing” links on new load chain
are facing away from hoist load sheave(s) (6). Refer to Dwg.
MHP0042 on page 9.
4. Run new load chain to its anchor point. On smaller units, use
hand chain (46) to move load chain. On larger units, load
chain (47) installation can be speeded up by unscrewing U-
nuts (40), removing gear cover (17), support plate (16) and
taking out 2nd gear set (14). With gear set (14) removed, load
chain (47) can be pulled by hand through hoist body and
hook blocks.
7. Check for the following:
a. Load chain did not become twisted, when reeving load
chain (47) between idler sheaves on the bottom and top
hook assembly. Refer to Dwg. MHP0020 on page 9.
b. Load chain (47) is reeved between load sheave (6) and
chain guides (7).

Cleaning
General Disassembly
Clean all hoist component parts in an acid free solvent (except for
brake discs). Use of a stiff bristle brush will facilitate removal of
accumulated dirt and sediments on gears and frames. Dry each
part using low pressure, filtered compressed air.
The following instructions provide necessary information to
disassemble, inspect, repair, and assemble the hoist. Hoist
assembly parts drawings are provided in “PARTS” section.
If a hoist is being completely disassembled for any reason, follow
the order of the topics as they are presented. It is recommended
that all maintenance work be performed on a bench.
Inspection
All disassembled parts should be inspected to determine their
fitness for continued use. Pay particular attention to the following:
1. Inspect all gears for worn, cracked, or broken teeth.
2. Inspect shafts for ridges caused by wear. If ridges caused by
wear are apparent on shafts, replace shaft.
3. Inspect all threaded items and replace those having damaged
threads.
4. Measure thickness of brake discs. If brake discs do not have
uniform thickness or are less than 5/64 in. (2 mm) thick
replace brake discs.
In the process of disassembling the hoist, observe the following:
1. Never disassemble hoist any further than is necessary to
accomplish needed repair. A good part can be damaged
during the course of disassembly.
2. Never use excessive force when removing parts. Tapping
gently around the perimeter of a cover or housing with a soft
hammer, for example, is sufficient to break the seal.
3. Do not apply heat to a part to free it for removal unless part
being heated is already worn or damaged beyond repair and
no additional damage will occur to other parts. In general, the
hoist is designed to permit easy disassembly and assembly.
Use of heat or excessive force should not be required.
4. Keep work area as clean as practical, to prevent dirt and other
foreign matter from getting into bearings or other moving
parts.
5. When grasping a part in a vise, always use leather-covered or
copper-covered vise jaws to protect the surface of the part
and help prevent distortion. This is particularly true of
threaded members, machined surfaces and housings.
6. Do not remove any part which is press fit in or on a
subassembly unless removal of that part is necessary for
repairs or replacement.
Repair
Actual repairs are limited to removal of small burrs and other
minor surface imperfections from gears and shafts. Use a fine
stone or emery cloth for this work.
1. Worn or damaged parts must be replaced. Refer to applicable
parts listing for specific replacement parts information.
2. Inspect all remaining parts for evidence of damage. Replace
or repair any part which is in questionable condition. The
cost of the part is often minor in comparison with the cost of
redoing the job.
3. Smooth out all minor nicks, burrs or galled spots on shafts,
bores, pins and bushings.
4. Examine all gear teeth carefully, remove nicks and burrs.
5. Polish edges of all shaft shoulders to remove small nicks
which may have been caused during handling.
Hoist Disassembly
Brake Disc Replacement
6. Remove all nicks and burrs caused by lockwashers.
1. Unscrew U-nuts (40). Remove wheel cover (38).
2. Lift hand chain guides (35) off stay bolts on side plate 1 (1).
Remove hand chain (46) from handwheel (31).
3. Remove cotter pin (34), unscrew pinion nut (33) and remove
washer (32).
Hoist Assembly
4. Remove handwheel (31) by holding load chain (46) and
rotating handwheel (31) counterclockwise until it can be
lifted off pinion shaft (13).
5. Remove brake cover (30) and brake disc A (27).
6. Remove ratchet gear (29) and brake disc B (28).
• The brake will not operate properly if there is too much oil
on brake discs (27 and 28). Excessive oil or grease on brake
components could cause load to slip.
1. Dip replacement brake discs (27 and 28) in ISO VG32
hydraulic oil or SAE 10 oil for two seconds. Wipe off excess
oil.
Overload Clutch Disassembly
2. Place brake disc B (28) over hub (26). Brake disc B (28) has a
smaller outside diameter than brake disc A (27).
3. Install ratchet gear (29) on hub (26) so recessed face fits over
brake disc B. Teeth of ratchet gear (29) must engage pawl
(24). Ratchet gear (29) should not rotate counterclockwise
and should “click” when rotated clockwise.
4. Place brake disc A (27) on ratchet gear (29).
5. Place brake cover (30) over stay bolts on side plate 1
assembly (1).
1. Refer to previous instructions for removal of wheel cover
(38).
2. Use a small punch to bend tab on washer (81) out of slot in
nut (82).
3. Firmly grip outside of overload clutch assembly then use
clutch adjusting socket part number 71112064 to remove nut
(82) from supporter (78).
4. Separate remaining parts of overload clutch assembly.
6. With brake surface of handwheel (31) towards brake disc A
(27), place handwheel (31) on pinion shaft (13). Rotate
handwheel (31) clockwise until clicking occurs. Hold load
chain (47) if necessary.
7. Place washer (32) over pinion (13). Install pinion nut (33)
and cotter pin (34) using “Brake Adjustment.”
Cleaning, Inspection and Repair
Use the following procedures to clean, inspect and repair
components of the hoist.

8. Install hand chain (46) in handwheel (31). Make sure hand
chain (46) is seated properly.
9. Install “looped” end of a hand chain guide (35) over each of
the two upper stay bolts on side plate 1 (1). Hand chain
guides (35) must be positioned like two “Ls” pointing inward
(“[_ _]”).
10. Place wheel cover (38) over stay bolts. Free ends of chain
guides (35) go on outside of wheel cover (38).
11. Install U-nuts (40).
Gears (14)
On 1-1/2, 3, 5, 8, 10, 15 and 20 ton units, each hoist body must
have one gear without a “circle” and one gear with a “circle.” The
1/2, 1 and 2 ton units do not use gears with a circle. Refer to Dwg.
MHP0044 on page 12.
(Dwg. MHP0014)
2. If you are replacing the hand chain, disconnect it at the “C”
link and carefully remove the hand chain.
3. When replacing a hand chain, cut a length 2 times the
required hand chain drop plus about one foot (305 mm). For
adjustments, remove or add a length of chain twice the
difference in hand chain height. To prevent hand chain from
twisting, maintain an even number of links, by removing or
adding an even number of links.
4. If you are replacing hand chain, run new hand chain up
through left hand chain guide, around handwheel, making
sure hand chain is seated in handwheel pockets, and back
down through right hand chain guide.
(Dwg. MHP0044)
Note: The 1/2 ton hoist has a center pinion gear with only five
teeth.
Hand Chain Adjustment or Replacement
5. Connect hand chain ends with ‘C’ link(s), making total
number of links even, and bend ‘C’ link(s) shut.
6. Make sure hand chain is not twisted. If twisted, untwist or
open a ‘C’ link and remove one hand chain link if necessary.
• When cutting weld side of a hand chain link, do not cut or
nick opposite side. A damaged link must be replaced to
prevent premature failure. A falling hand chain can cause
injury.
Overload Clutch Assembly
1. Install supporter (78) on pinion shaft (13). Set cone wheel
(79) in handwheel (31). Install spring (94) and ball (93) in
hole in handwheel. Position parts on supporter (78) making
sure ball and spring remain in place. Notch in supporter must
line up with ball and spring hole.
2. Install cone spring (80) with dished surface towards brake
discs (27) and (28).
3. Install washer (81) on hub of supporter (78) so tab locates in
supporter slot. Outer tabs on washer (81) must face outward
away from cone spring (80).
4. Install nut (82) on supporter (78) until finger tight.
5. Install washer (32) and nut (33) on pinion shaft (13).
6. Adjust overload clutch as described in the “Overload Clutch
Adjustment” section.
(Dwg. MHP0016)
1. To create a “C” link, cut welded side of link with a hacksaw.
Clamp one side of “C” link in a vise and bend it open by
using a pliers to grip the exposed part of link. Refer to Dwgs.
MHP0014 and MHP0016 on page 12.
Load Test
Prior to initial use, all new, extensively repaired, or altered hoists
shall be load tested by or under the direction of a person trained in
operation and maintenance of this hoist, and a written report
furnished confirming rating of hoist. Test hoist to 125% of rated
hoist capacity. Testing to more than 125% is required to test
overload clutch and may be necessary to comply with standards
and regulations set forth in areas outside of the USA.

VL2 HOIST REVISIONS
VL2 Hoists manufactured prior to 1990 were supplied with a clip which was installed on wheel cover (38) and was held in position by nut
(40). The clip is not required and is no longer offered as a replacement part. Lack of this part will not affect hoist performance.
Overload clutches were supplied as an optional feature (not standard) on older versions of the VL2 hoist. Older hoists that were equipped
with an overload clutch did not use overload clutch ball (93) and spring (94). Supporter (78) and handwheel (31) are completely
interchangeable, between older and newer hoists.
