WARNING
!
!
CAUTION !
WARNING – This emblem is used to warn against hazards and unsafe practice which COULD result in severe personal injury or death if proper procedures are not followed.
CAUTION – This emblem is used to warn against potential or unsafe practices which COULD result in personal injury and product or property damage if proper procedures are not followed.
Safety for operators and ground personnel is of prime concern. Always take the necessary precautions to ensure safety to others as well as yourself. To ensure safety, the prime mover and hoist must be operated with care and concern by the operator for the equipment and a thorough knowledge of the machine’s performance capabilities.
The following recommendations are offered as a general safety guide. Local rules and regulations will also apply.
1 . Be certain equipment (boom, sheave blocks, pendants, etc.) is either lowered to the ground or blocked securely before servicing, adjusting, or repairing hoist.
2 . Be sure personnel are clear of work area BEFORE operating hoist.
3 . Read all warning and caution tag information provided for safe operation and service of hoist.
4 . Inspect rigging and hoist at the beginning of each work shift. Defects should be corrected immediately.
5 . Keep equipment in good operating condition. Perform scheduled servicing and adjustments listed in the “Preventive Maintenance” section of this manual.
6 . An equipment warm-up procedure is recommended for all start-ups and essential at ambient temperatures below +40°F (4°C). Refer to “Warm-up Procedure” listed in the “Preventive Maintenance” section of this manual.
16 . Do not use knots to secure or attach wire rope.
17 . The BRADEN designed wire rope anchors are capable of supporting the rated load when installed properly. For additional safety, ALWAYS maintain a minimum of fi ve (5) wraps of wire rope on the drum.
18 . Never attempt to clean, oil or perform any maintenance on a machine with the engine or prime mover running, unless instructed to do so in this manual.
19 . Never operate hoist controls unless you are properly positioned at the operators station and you are sure personnel are clear of the work area.
20 . Assure that personnel who are responsible for hand signals are clearly visible and that the signals to be used are thoroughly understood by everyone.
21 . Ground personnel should stay in view of the operator and clear of hoist drum. Do not allow ground personnel near hoist line under tension. A safe distance of at least 1-1/2 times the length of the cable should be maintained.
7 . Operate hoist line speeds to match job conditions.
8 . Leather gloves should be used when handling wire rope.
9 . Never attempt to handle wire rope when the hook end is not free. Keep all parts of body and clothing clear of cable rollers, cable entry area of fairleads and hoist drum.
10 . When winding wire rope on the hoist drum, never attempt to maintain tension by allowing wire rope to slip through hands. Always use “Hand-Over-Hand” technique.
11 . Never use wire rope with broken strands. Replace wire rope.
12 . Do not weld on any part of the hoist.
13 . Use recommended hydraulic oil and gear lubricant.
14 . Keep hydraulic system clean and free from contamination at all times.
15 . Use correct anchor for wire rope and pocket in drum.
4
22 . Do not exceed the maximum pressure, PSI (kPa), or fl ow, GPM (LPM), stated in the hoist specifi cations.
23 . Install guarding to prevent personnel from getting any part of body or clothing caught at a point where the cable is wrapped onto the drum or drawn through guide rollers.
24 . “Deadman” controls, which automatically shut off power to the hoist whenever the operator leaves his station, should be installed whenever practicable.
25 . Never allow anyone to stand under a suspended load.
26 . Avoid sudden “shock” loads or attempting to “jerk” load free. This type of operation may cause heavy loads, in excess of rated capacity, which may result in failure of cable and hoist.
THEORY OF OPERATION
DESCRIPTION OF HOIST
The hoist has four basic component parts:
1. Hoist base
2. Hydraulic motor and brake valve
3. Brake cylinder and motor support
4. Drum assembly
The drum assembly consists of three basic assemblies:
1. Drum with integral ring gear
2. Output planetary gear set
3. Primary planetary gear set
The hydraulic motor is bolted to the motor support which in turn is bolted to the brake cylinder and the base. The motor end of the drum, running on a ball bearing, is supported by the brake cylinder. The other end of the drum runs on a ball bearing on the support bolted to the base. The ring gear for both planetary sets is machined into the drum’s inside surface.
The static brake system has three operating components:
1. Spring Applied, Multiple Friction Disc Static Brake
2. Overrunning Brake Clutch Assembly
3. Hydraulic Piston and Cylinder

HOIST OPERATION
The hydraulic motor drives the sun gear of the primary planetary gear set through the splined inner race of the overrunning brake clutch. When driven by the sun gear, the primary planet gears walk around the ring gear in the drum and drive the primary planet carrier.
Pump
The primary planet carrier drives the output planet sun gear which, in turn drives the output planet gears.
The output planet carrier is splined to the bearing support and cannot rotate. Therefore, as the output planet gears are driven by the sun gear, they will drive the ring gear/drum.

DUAL BRAKE SYSTEM - DESCRIPTION
The dual brake system consists of a dynamic brake system and a static brake system.
The dynamic brake system has two operating components:
1. Brake valve assembly
2. Hydraulic motor
The brake valve is basically a counterbalance valve with good metering characteristics. It contains a check valve to allow free fl ow of oil to the motor in the hoisting direction and a pilot operated, spring-loaded spool valve that blocks the fl ow of oil out of the motor when the control valve is placed in neutral. When the control valve is placed in the lowering position, the spool valve remains closed until suffi cient pilot pressure is applied to the end of the spool to shift it against spring pressure and open a passage. After the spool valve cracks open, the pilot pressure becomes fl ow-dependent and modulates the spool valve opening which controls the lowering speed. Refer to fi gures 1, 2, and 3.
Figures 1, 2, and 3.

Control Valve
To Tank determine the amount of oil that can fl ow through it and the speed at which the load will be lowered. Increasing the fl ow of oil to the motor will cause the pressure to rise and the opening in the brake valve to enlarge, speeding up the descent of the load. Decreasing this fl ow causes the pressure to lower and the opening in the brake valve to decrease thus slowing the descent of the load.
When the control valve is shifted to neutral, the pressure will drop and the brake valve will close, stopping the load. The friction brake will engage and hold the load after the brake valve has closed.
When lowering a load very slowly for precise positioning, no oil fl ow actually occurs through the hoist motor.
The pressure will build up to a point where the brake will release suffi ciently to allow the load to rotate the motor through its own internal leakage. This feature results in a very slow speed and extremely accurate positioning.
The friction brake receives very little wear in the lowering operation. All of the heat generated by the lowering and stopping of a load is absorbed by the hydraulic oil where it can be readily dissipated.
The static brake is released by the brake valve pilot pressure at a pressure lower than that required to open the pilot operated spool valve. This sequence assures that dynamic braking takes place in the brake valve and that little, if any, heat is absorbed by the friction brake.
The friction brake is a load holding brake only and has nothing to do with dynamic braking or rate of descent of a load.
The overrunning brake clutch is splined to the primary sun gear shaft between the motor and the primary sun gear. It will allow this shaft to turn freely in the direction to raise a load and lock up to force the brake discs to turn with the shaft in the direction to lower a load. Refer to fi gures 4 and 5.
The hydraulic cylinder, when pressurized, will release the spring pressure on the brake discs, allowing the brake discs to turn freely.
Figure 4
Static Friction Brake Applied
Sprag Cams
Dual Brake System – Operation
When hoisting a load, the brake clutch which connects the motor shaft to the primary sun gear, allows free rotation. The sprag cams lay over and permit the inner race to turn free of the outer race. Figure 4. The friction brake remains fully engaged. The hoist, in raising a load, is not affected by any braking action. Figure 1.
When the lifting operation is stopped, the load attempts to turn the primary sun gear in the opposite direction.
This reversed input causes the sprag cams to instantly roll upward and fi rmly lock the shaft to the fully engaged friction brake. Figure 5.
When the hoist is powered in reverse, to lower the load, the motor cannot rotate until suffi cient pilot pressure is present to open the brake valve. Figures 2 & 3. The friction brake within the hoist will completely release at a pressure lower than that required to open the brake valve. The extent to which the brake valve opens will

2. Because of the design of the mounting base, the direction of line pull should only be as shown in the above illustration. Line pulls in any other direction must be approved by BRADEN Engineering.
3. When mounting the hoist, use all eight (8) mounting holes and grade 8 capscrews and nuts. Tighten to recommended torque.
It is important that the hoist is mounted on a surface that will not fl ex when in use, and cause binding of the gear train. Binding in the gear train will result in accelerated wear and heat. Also, be sure the hoist is mounted on a fl at surface. If necessary, use shim stock to insure the mounting surface is fl at within
0.020 in. (0.5 mm). Use stainless steel shim stock as required.
4. The vent plug must always be located above the horizontal centerline. If the hoist is mounted on a pivoting surface, be sure vent plug remains above the centerline in all positions. If necessary, reposition bearing support and vent plug as follows:
A. Remove bearing support bolts.
B. Rotate bearing support until vent plug
is positioned correctly and bolt holes
are aligned.
C. Evenly tighten bolts to recommended
torque.
5. Hydraulic lines and components that operate the hoist must be of suffi cient size to assure minimum back-pressure at the hoist motor ports. The hydraulic back-pressure measured at the motor work ports must be less than 100 PSI (690 kPa) at full operating fl ow. Back-pressure in excess of 100 PSI (690 kPa) will shorten motor shaft seal life and partially release the load holding brake. The standard hoist is supplied with the gear motor internally drained and connected the drain by-pass port on the Braden brake valve. If high back-pressures are encountered, the motor should be externally drained directly to the reservoir and the “DRAIN” port on the brake valve capped. All piston motors MUST be drained directly to the reservoir. The piston motor case drain port must NEVER be exposed to more than 42 PSI (290 kPa); shaft seal damage will occur.
6. The hoist should be mounted perpendicular to an imaginary line from the center of the drum to the fi rst sheave to insure even spooling. Make certain the fl eet angle does not exceed 1-1/2 degrees.

DO NOT use a control valve with any detents or latching mechanism that would hold the control valve in an actuated or running position when the operator releases the control handle. Use of the wrong type of control valve could lead to unintentional operation of the hoist, which could result in property damage, personal injury, or death.
The directional control valve must be a three position, four- way valve without detents and with a spring centered motor spool such that the valve returns to the centered position whenever the handle is released, and both work ports are open to tank
(open center, open port).
7. High quality hydraulic oil is essential for satisfactory performance and long hydraulic system component life.
Oil having 150 to 330 SUS (30-60 cSt) viscosity at
104°F (40°C) and viscosity index of 100 or greater will give good results under normal temperature conditions. The use of an oil having a high viscosity index will minimize cold-start trouble and reduce the length of warm-up periods. A high viscosity index will minimize changes in viscosity with corresponding changes in temperature.
Maximum cold weather start-up viscosity should not exceed 5000 SUS (1000 cSt) with a pour point at least 20°F (11°C) lower than the minimum temperature.
Under continuous operating conditions the temperature of the oil at any point in the system must not exceed 180°F (82°C). Optimum oil temperature is generally considered to be 120-140°F (49-60°C).
In general terms; for continuous operation at ambient temperatures between 50 and 110°F (10 to
43°C) use ISO 46; for continuous operation between
10 and 90°F (-12 to 32°C) use ISO 32; for applications colder than 10°F (-12°C), contact the BRADEN
Service Department. The use of multi-viscosity oils is generally not recommended.
8. The hydraulic oil fi lter should have a 10 micron nominal rating and be full fl ow type and meet the requirements of the hydraulic pump manufacturer.
8
RECOMMENDED FASTENER TORQUE
Higher or lower torques for special applications will be specifi ed such as the use of spanner nuts, nuts on shaft ends, jam nuts and where distortion of parts or gaskets is critical.
Lubricated torque values based on use of SAE 30wt engine oil applied to threads and face of bolt or nut.
Avoid using thread lubricants (such as anti-seize compound) as the applied torque may vary by 10 - 40%, depending upon the product used.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
A regular program of preventive maintenance for your planetary hoist is strongly recommended to minimize the need for emergency servicing and promote safe, reliable hoist operation.
Field experience, supported by engineering tests, indicate the three (3) service procedures listed below are the
MOST critical to safe, reliable hoist operation and must be observed.
• Regular Gear Oil Changes – every 1000 hours or six (6) months
• Use of Proper Gear Oil – recommended type for prevailing ambient temperature
• Periodic disassembly and inspection of all wear items.
The following minimum service intervals are specifi ed for operating hours of the prime mover.
10
1. OIL LEVEL
The gear oil level should be checked every 500 operating hours or three (3) months, whichever occurs fi rst. To check the oil level, remove the large plug located in the center of the drum support. The oil should be level with the bottom of this opening or approximately half-way up in a sight glass. This is extremely important due to the accelerated wear that can be caused by insuffi cient lubricating oil in the hoist.
If additional oil in needed, refer to “Recommended Planetary
Gear Oil”.
2. OIL CHANGE
The gear oil should be changed after the fi rst one hundred (100) hours of operation, then every 1,000 operating hours or six (6) months, whichever occurs fi rst. The gear oil must be changed to remove wear particles that impede the reliable and safe operation of the brake clutch and erode bearings, gears and seals.
Failure to change gear oil at these suggested minimum intervals may contribute to intermittent brake slippage which could result in property damage, severe personal injury or death.
The gear oil should also be changed whenever the ambient temperature changes signifi cantly and an oil from a different temperature range would be more appropriate. Oil viscosity with regard to ambient temperature is critical to reliable brake clutch operation.
Our tests indicate that excessively heavy or thick gear oil may contribute to intermittent brake clutch slippage.
Make certain that the gear oil viscosity used in your hoist is correct for your prevailing ambient temperature.
Failure to use the proper type and viscosity of planetary gear oil may contribute to brake clutch slippage which could result in property damage, severe personal injury or death. Refer to “Recommended Planetary Gear Oil” for additional information.
3. VENT PLUG
The vent plug is located in the drum support as shown. It is very important to keep this vent clean and unobstructed. Whenever gear oil is changed, remove vent plug, clean in solvent and reinstall.
Do not paint over the vent or replace with a solid plug.
4. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Failure to properly warm up the hoist, particularly under low ambient temperature conditions, may result in temporary brake slippage due to high back pressures attempting to release the brake, which could result in property damage, severe personal injury or death.
7. WARM-UP PROCEDURES
A warm-up procedure is recommended at each start-up and is essential at ambient temperatures below
+40°F (4°C).
The prime mover should be run at its lowest recommended RPM with the hydraulic hoist control valve in neutral allowing suffi cient time to warm up the system. The hoist should then be operated at low speeds, raise and lower, several times to prime all lines with warm hydraulic oil, and to circulate gear lubricant through the planetary gear sets.
8. INSPECTION
A. – Refer to
DISASSEMBLY OF Hoist, page 15; and
PLANET CARRIER SERVICE, page 20.
B. – Refer to MOTOR
SUPPORT – BRAKE CYLINDER SERVICE, pages 22 and 23.
C. – Refer to BRAKE CLUTCH
SERVICE, page 26.
Failure to use the proper type and viscosity of planetary gear oil may contribute to intermittent brake clutch slippage which could result in property damage, severe personal injury or death. Some gear lubricants contain large amounts of EP (extreme pressure) and anti-friction additives which may contribute to brake clutch slippage and damage to brake friction discs or seals. Oil viscosity with regard to ambient temperature is also critical to reliable brake clutch operation. Our tests indicate that excessively heavy or thick gear oil may contribute to intermittent brake clutch slippage. Make certain that the gear oil viscosity used in your hoist is correct for your prevailing ambient temperature.
after the fi rst fi fty (50) hours of operation, then every
500 operating hours or three (3) months, or in accordance with the equipment manufacturer’s recommendations.
5. WIRE ROPE
Inspect entire length of wire rope according to wire rope manufacturers recommendations.
6. MOUNTING BOLTS
Tighten all hoist base mounting bolts to recommended torque after the fi rst one hundred (100) hours of operation, then every 1000 operating hours or six (6) months, whichever occurs fi rst.
9.
RECOMMENDED PLANETARY GEAR OIL
Use of the proper planetary gear oil is essential to reliable and safe operation of the brake clutch and obtaining long gear train life.
For simplicity, BRADEN has listed one (1) readily available product in each temperature range which has been tested and found to meet our specifi cations.

TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTE: Capacities are approximate. Refer to “Oil
Level” earlier in this section
If a hoist ever exhibits any sign of erratic operation, or load control diffi culties (i.e. load creeping or chattering) appropriate troubleshooting tests and repairs should be performed immediately. Continued operation in this manner may result in property damage, serious personal injury or death.
TROUBLE
A
The hoist will not lower the load or not lower the load smoothly.
PROBABLE CAUSE REMEDY
1. The problem could be a plugged or loose pilot orifi ce. The pilot orifi ce is a small pipe plug with a hole drilled through it, located behind the pilot port fi tting on the brake valve.
If it becomes plugged, it will prevent the pilot pressure, from the manifold, from opening the brake valve.
If it becomes loose, it will allow an unregulated amount of oil in to operate the brake valve which cause erratic brake valve operation.
Remove the pilot hose and fi tting from the brake valve, then use a
5/32 inch Allen wrench to remove the pilot orifi ce. The diameter of the orifi ce is approximately .020 inches.
Clean and install the pilot orifi ce tightly in the brake valve.
2. The friction brake may not be releasing as a result of a defective
Check brake cylinder seal as follows: brake cylinder seal.
NOTE: If the brake cylinder seal is defective you will usually fi nd oil leaking from the hoist vent plug.
A. Disconnect the swivel tee from the brake release port. Connect a hand pump with accurate 0-2000 psi gauge and shut-off valve to the
–4 J.I.C. fi tting in the brake relea se port.
12
TROUBLE
A
The hoist will not lower the load or not lower the load smoothly.
PROBABLE CAUSE
1. Friction brake will not release as a result of damaged brake discs.
REMEDY
A. Apply 1000 PSI (6,900 kPa) to the brake. Close shut-off valve and let stand for fi ve (5) minutes.
B. If there is any loss of pressure in fi ve (5) minutes, the brake cylinder should be disassembled for inspection of the sealing surfaces and replacement of the seals. Refer to
“Motor Support-Brake Cylinder Service”.
Disassemble brake to inspect brake discs. Check stack-up height as described in “Motor Support-Brake
Cylinder Service”.
B
Oil leaks from vent plug.
1. Same as A2.
2. Motor seal may be defective as a result of high system back pressure or contaminated oil.
Same as A2.
System back pressure must not exceed 150 PSI (1,035 kPa). Inspect hydraulic system for a restriction in the return line from the control valve to the reservoir. Be sure control valve and plumbing is properly sized to hoist motor.
Oil analysis may indicate contamination has worn motor shaft and seal. Thoroughly fl ush entire hydraulic system and install new fi lters and oil. Install new motor seal.
C
The brake will not hold a load with the control lever in neutral.
1. Excessive system back pressure acting on the brake release port.
The same as Remedy 2 of Trouble
B2.
2. Friction brake will not hold due to worn or damaged brake discs.
Same as Remedy 3 of Trouble A3.
3. Brake clutch is slipping.
Improper planetary gear oil may cause the brake clutch to slip. Drain old gear oil and fl ush hoist with solvent. Thoroughly drain solvent and refi ll hoist with recommended planetary gear oil listed in “Preventive
Maintenance”.
Brake clutch may be damaged or worn. Disassemble and inspect brake clutch as described in “Brake
Clutch Service”.
13
TROUBLE
D
The hoist will not hoist the rated load.
PROBABLE CAUSE REMEDY
1. The hoist may be mounted on an uneven or fl exible surface which causes distortion of the hoist base and binding of the gear train. Binding in the gear train will absorb horsepower needed to hoist the rated load and cause heat.
Reinforce mounting surface.
If necessary, use shim stock to level hoist. Refer to “Hoist Installation”.
First loosen, then evenly retighten all hoist mounting bolts to recommended torque.
2. System relief valve may be set too low. Relief valve needs adjustment or repair.
Check relief pressure as follows:
A. Install an accurate 0-4000 psi
(27,580 kPa) gauge into the inlet port of the brake valve.
B. Apply a stall pull load on the hoist while monitoring pressure.
C. Compare gauge reading to hoist specifi cations. Adjust relief valve as required.
NOTE: If pressure does not increase in proportion to adjustment, relief valve may be contaminated or worn out. In either case, the relief valve may require disassembly or replacement.
3. Be certain hydraulic system temperature is not more than 180 degrees F. Excessive hydraulic oil temperatures increase motor internal leakage and reduce motor performance.
Same as remedies for Trouble D1 &
D2.
Same as remedies for Trouble E2.
4. Hoist line pull rating is based on
1st layer of wire rope.
Refer to hoist performance charts for additional information.
5. Rigging and sheaves not operating effi ciently.
Perform rigging service as recommended by crane manufacturer.
E
The hoist runs hot.
1. Same as D1.
2. Be certain that the hydraulic system temperature is not more than
180 degrees F. Excessive hydraulic oil temperatures may be caused by:
A. Plugged heat exchanger.
Same as remedies for Trouble D1.
Thoroughly clean exterior and fl ush interior.
B. Too low or too high oil level in hydraulic reservoir.
Fill/drain to proper level.
C. Same as D2.
14
Same remedies as D2
TROUBLE
E
The hoist runs hot.
PROBABLE CAUSE REMEDY
D. Hydraulic pump not operating effi ciently.
Same as remedies for Trouble D2.
Prime mover low on horsepower or
R.P.M. Tune/adjust prime mover.
Check suction line for damage.
If pump is belt driven, belts are slipping. Replace/tighten belts.
Pump worn. Replace pump.
Disassemble hoist to inspect/replace worn parts.
3. Excessively worn or damaged internal hoist parts.
F
Hoist “chatters” while raising rated load.
1. Same as D2.
2. Hydraulic oil fl ow to motor may be too low.
3. Controls being operated too quickly.
G
The wire rope does not spool smoothly on the drum.
Same as remedies for Trouble D2.
Same as remedies for Trouble E2.
Conduct operator training as required.
1. The hoist may be mounted too close to the main sheave, causing the fl eet angle to be more than
1-1/2 degrees.
Check mounting distance and fl eet angle. Reposition hoist as required.
2. The hoist may not be mounted perpendicular to an imaginary line between the center of the cable drum and the fi rst sheave.
Refer to “Hoist Installation”.
3. Could possibly be using the wrong lay rope. There is a distinct advantage in applying rope of the proper direction of lay. When the load is slacked off, the several coils on the drum will stay closer together and maintain an even layer.
If rope of improper lay is used, the coils will spread apart each time the load is removed. Then, when winding is resumed, the rope has a tendency to criss-cross and overlap on the drum. The result is apt to be a fl attened and crushed rope.
Consult wire rope manufacturer for recommendation of wire rope that best suits your application.
4. The hoist may have been overloaded, causing permanent set in the wire rope.
Replace wire rope and conduct operator/rigger training as required.
15
DISASSEMBLY OF HOIST
SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
• Before any part is removed from the hoist, all service instructions should be read and understood.
• Work in a clean, dust free area as cleanliness is of utmost importance when servicing hydraulic equipment.
• Inspect all replacement parts, prior to installation, to detect any damage which might have occurred in shipment.
• Use only genuine BRADEN replacement parts for optimum results. Never reuse expendable parts such as oil seals and O-rings.
• Inspect all machined surfaces for excessive wear or damage . . . before reassembly operations are begun.
• Lubricate all O-rings and oil seals with gear oil prior to installation.
• Use a sealing compound on the outside surface of oil seals and a light coat of thread sealing compound on pipe threads. Avoid getting thread compound inside parts or passages which conduct oil.
• Thoroughly clean all parts in a good grade of non-fl ammable safety solvent. Wear protective clothing as required.
After troubleshooting the hoist and its hydraulic system as covered in the “Troubleshooting” section, and the problem is determined to be in the hoist, use the following procedure to disassemble the hoist.
1. Remove the wire rope from the cable drum and align the drain hole in the drum with a hole in the support side plate before removing the hoses and mounting bolts. After the hoist is removed from its mounting, thoroughly clean the outside surfaces. To drain the oil, install a short piece of 1 inch pipe in the larger threads of the drain hole. If necessary, insert a bar into the anchor pocket and manually rotate the drum in the direction to hoist a load until the drain holes are aligned.
3. Begin disassembly by removing the oil level plug or sight glass and standing the hoist on the bearing support end. Tag and remove the hydraulic hoses that connect the brake valve and manifold to the brake cylinder.
4. Remove the capscrews securing the motor, and lift the motor off the hoist. Remove and discard the Oring installed on the pilot of the motor.
2. Use a 5/16 inch Allen wrench to remove the drain plug through the pipe.
16
5. Tag and remove the hoses and fi ttings from the brake cylinder release port.
6. Remove the brake clutch assembly from the motor support. Refer to “Brake Clutch Service” for additional information.
9. Using two heel type pry bars placed between the primary planet carrier and the drum closure, pry upward to remove the drum closure. Remove and discard the O-ring from the outside of the drum closure. Some drum closures have 3/8-16 tapped lifting eye holes that may be used in place of the heel bars
10. Remove the seal and bearing from inside of closure.
7. Remove the motor support capscrews and install two (2) capscrews and a short piece of chain into the motor mounting bolt holes. Using the chain as a handle, lift the motor support out of the brake cylinder being careful to avoid damaging the sealing surfaces. Remove and discard the O-ring and back-up ring from the motor support. Refer to “Motor Support-Brake Cylinder Service” for additional information. Note the location of the brake release port in relation to hoist prior to removing the brake cylinder
11. Remove the primary sun gear and thrust washer from the primary planet carrier.
8. Remove the brake cylinder capscrews and install two (2) capscrews and a short piece of chain into the motor support mounting bolt holes. Using the chain as a handle, lift the brake cylinder out of the drum and base, being careful to avoid damaging the sealing or bearing surfaces. Refer to “Motor
Support-Brake Cylinder Service” for additional information.
For PD15B hoists , the drum closure cannot be removed through the opening in the base. If your hoist has a one-piece cast base, remove the bearing support, as described in step 15, and remove the drum from the base. Then proceed with steps 9 thru 14. If your hoist has a three piece base, remove the motor end side plate and continue with step 9.
12. Remove the primary planet carrier from the drum.
Refer to “Planet Carrier Service” for additional information.
17
13. Remove the output sun gear and thrust washer from the output planet carrier.
14. Remove the output planet carrier from the drum.
Refer to “Planet Carrier Service” for additional information.
15. Stand hoist on motor end with bearing support up; then remove eight (8) bearing support capscrews and bearing support being careful to avoid damaging the sealing or bearing surfaces.
16. Slide drum out of base onto a work bench and remove seal and bearing from support end.
17. Thoroughly clean and inspect drum and base.
Check ring gear (machined into inside surface of drum) teeth for nicks, spalling or excessive wear.
Replace if wear is greater than 0.015 in. (0.4 mm) when compared to unworn area of teeth.

PLANET CARRIER SERVICE
OUTPUT PLANET CARRIER
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove the planet gears by driving the roll pins into the center of the planet shafts.
3. Now you can remove the planet shafts, bearings, spacer, thrust washers and gears. Thoroughly clean all parts and inspect for damage and wear. The bearing rollers should not exhibit any irregularities.
If the rollers show any sign of spalling, corrosion, discoloration, material displacement or abnormal wear, the bearing should be replaced. Likewise, the cage should be inspected for unusual wear or deformation, particularly the cage bars. If there is any damage that will impair the cage’s ability to separate, retain and guide the rollers properly, the bearing should be replaced. The thrust washer contact areas should be free from any surface irregularities that may cause abrasions or friction. The gears and shafts should be inspected for abnormal wear or pitting. Replace if necessary.
ASSEMBLY
2. Use a punch to drive the roll pins from the planet shafts. Do not reuse the roll pins.
1. Place the output planet carrier on workbench with splined coupling side down. Install output thrust plate in center of carrier.
!
CAUTION !
PD17A hoists have an internal retaining ring to hold the thrust plate into the carrier. This retaining ring
MUST be properly installed and fully seated before the planet gears are installed.
20
2. Insert two (2) bearings and a bearing spacer into a gear with the spacer between the bearings. Place a thrust washer on each side of the gear and position in a carrier opening. Slide the shaft through the carrier, thrust washer, bearing-gear sub-assembly and remaining thrust washer. Be careful to avoid damaging thrust washers when installing planet shafts.
PRIMARY PLANET CARRIER
1. To service the primary planet carrier, the steps are the same as for the output carrier except there is only one bearing for each gear and no bearing spacer.
3. Carefully align the pin hole in the carrier with the hole in the planet gear shaft and drive the roll pin into place. Always use NEW roll pins.
4. Note that the roll pin is recessed approximately 1/16 in. (.06 mm) in the carrier when properly installed.
With a center punch, stake the carrier next to the pin hole as shown. This will distort the hole so the pin will not back out. Repeat these steps for each of the three planet gears.
21
MOTOR SUPPORT-BRAKE CYLINDER SERVICE
NOTE: Starting mid-year 1996, Braden changed the steel brake separator discs from a splined tooth design to a lobed design. This required a change to the motor support and brake cylinder and the addition of a spring spacer. A hoist with the lobed discs can be identifi ed by a machined groove on the outside diameter of the motor support. When replacing steel brake discs, the motor support or brake cylinder, care must be taken to properly identify the correct parts. Splined discs will remain available as spare parts.
New lobed steel brake separator plates and motor support. Note groove on outside diameter of motor support.
Although most photos in this section show splined discs, all procedures are the same except where specifi cally noted.
DISASSEMBLY
3. Remove the brake springs.
CLEAN AND INSPECT
1. Thoroughly clean and inspect all parts at this time.
Check brake piston sealing surfaces on brake cylinder and motor support. Be sure brake release port is free of contamination.
1. After removing the motor support and brake clutch assembly, continue brake cylinder disassembly by removing the spacers, friction brake discs and steel brake discs.
2. Check oil seal and bearing surfaces on brake cylinder for damage or wear.
2. Remove the piston back-up ring and pressure plate.
22
!
CAUTION !
Failure to replace brake springs as a set may result in uneven brake application pressure and repeated brake spring failure.
ASSEMBLY
3. Place friction brake disc on fl at surface and check for distortion with a straight edge. Friction material should appear even across entire surface with groove pattern visible. Replace friction disc if splines are worn to a point, disc is distorted, friction material is worn unevenly, or groove pattern is worn away.
4. Place steel brake disc on fl at surface and check for distortion with a straight edge. Check surface for signs of material transfer or heat. Replace steel disc if splines are worn to a point, disc is distorted or heat discolored.
1. Begin assembly by placing motor support on workbench with motor mounting surface down. Install new O-ring and back-up ring as shown.
2. Install a brake spacer into the motor support. (NOT
REQUIRED WITH LOBED DISCS.)
5. Check brake spring free length; minimum free length is 1 3/16 in. (30.2 mm). Check springs for any sign of cracking or failure. If a brake spring must be replaced for any reason, then ALL brake springs must be replaced.
3. Insert fi rst, a steel brake disc against the spacer followed by a friction brake disc then alternate steel and friction discs until seven (7) friction and eight
(8) steel discs have been installed. Finish with a steel brake disc on top.
NOTE: It is a good practice to pre-lubricate the discs in hydraulic oil prior to assembly.
23
4. Install the remaining brake spacer on top of the last steel brake disc. (This is the only spacer used with lobed discs.)
OLDER STYLE BRAKE CYLINDER
7. Install brake springs into brake cylinder
5. To check brake stack height, place pressure plate on top of brake spacer. Hold pressure plate down fi rmly by hand and measure clearance in three places between motor support and pressure plate. Average gap must measure between .153 in. (4 mm) maximum and .080 in. (2 mm) minimum. If the gap exceeds the maximum limit, there are too many brake discs in stack-up or the discs are distorted. If the gap is less than the minimum, there are too few discs in stack-up or the discs are worn out. When stack height is correct, remove pressure plate and continue assembly.
NEW STYLE BRAKE CYLINDER
7A.When using the new style brake cylinder without milled spring pockets, install the spring spacer, then the brake springs.
Always use the molded spring spacer with the new brake cylinder. The brake springs must be properly positioned by the spring spacer. Failure to install the spring spacer may allow the springs to contact each other and become damaged. This could result in loss of load control, property damage, injury or death.
8. Install pressure plate into brake cylinder followed by the piston back-up ring. The close-fi tting piston back-up ring may be depressed slightly to one side to lodge the back-up ring in the brake cylinder bore and temporarily hold the pressure plate and springs in place while you lower the brake cylinder over the motor support.
6. Lubricate the brake piston seal and motor support sealing surface with petroleum jelly or hydraulic oil.
Install new piston seal to motor support, seal lip down.
24
BRAKE CYLINDER PRESSURE TEST
1. Install the –4 J.I.C. fi tting into the brake release port.
Connect a hand pump with accurate 0-2000 psi (0-
13,800 kPa) gauge and shut-off valve to this fi tting.
Apply 1000 psi (6,900 kPa) to the brake. Close shut-off valve and let stand for fi ve (5) minutes. If there is any loss of pressure in fi ve (5) minutes, the brake cylinder should be disassembled for inspection of the sealing surfaces and brake piston.
9. Apply petroleum jelly to the entire sealing surface of the brake cylinder and to the piston seal. Install the brake cylinder over the motor support being careful to avoid damaging the piston seal or motor support
O-ring. (A press may be necessary to avoid cocking the brake cylinder during installation.)
10. Install motor support capscrews and evenly tighten to recommended torque.
2. WHILE PRESSURE IS APPLIED AND THE BRAKE
RELEASED, install the brake clutch assembly in the brake pack, short end of the inner race toward motor. Turn the clutch back and forth as you align the outer race splines with the brake disc splines.
3. Release the pressure on the brake cylinder then remove the brake clutch assembly. The brake cylinder assembly is now complete and ready to be installed in the hoist.
25
BRAKE CLUTCH SERVICE
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove the snap ring and sprag bushing retainer from one end only.
NOTE: The brake clutch on PD17A hoists use a stepped inner race, which eliminates one retaining ring and bushing retainer. The larger end of the inner race is toward the motor.
4. Next, slide the sprag clutch out, inspect the sprag clutch closely for abnormal wear, cracks, pitting or corrosion. Check small clips for breakage or bright spots; the signs of excessive wear. Unless the outer race or remaining sprag bushing is damaged or shows excessive wear, there is no need for further disassembly. If disassembly is necessary, remove the bushing according to the procedure covered in
Step No. three (3). All brake clutch assembly parts should be thoroughly cleaned and inspected before assembly.
2. Pull the inner race out. Examine the race for scoring, wear or indentations caused by the sprag cams.
The polished surfaces of the races and sprag cams must be perfectly smooth to insure positive engagement of the clutch. The slightest defect may reduce brake clutch effectiveness, which may lead to loss of load control and result in property damage, personal injury or death. It is generally recommended to replace the entire brake clutch assembly if any component is defective.
ASSEMBLY
3. Use a screwdriver and mallet to remove the sprag bushing from one end of the outer race. There are four special cut-outs in the bushing for this purpose.
Be careful not to damage the bushing inside surface. If a bushing’s inside surface is damaged or shows wear, replace it.
26
1. Press a sprag bushing into the outer race, using a mechanical or hydraulic press. A fl at plate of approximately the same diameter as the bushing fl ange outside diameter should be placed between the press and bushing during assembly to protect the bushing. Be certain the bushing fl ange is against the shoulder in the outer race.
2. Turn the assembly over and install the sprag clutch in the bore of the outer race.
3. Press the remaining bushing into the race. Again, make sure the bushing is against the shoulder.
6. Turn the assembly over with the snap ring down. Install the second retainer and snap ring. Make certain the snap ring is seated in the groove properly.
4. Next, install a sprag bushing retainer, then a snap ring on the inner race. Be sure the snap ring is seated in the snap ring groove. NOT necessary on
PD17A due to stepped design.
7. This is a completed brake clutch assembly.
5. Slide the inner race through the bushings and sprag clutch (the race will have to be rotated in the free-wheeling direction to start it through the sprag clutch). If the inner race will not go through the bushings, the bushings have probably been damaged and should be replaced.
Be certain the snap ring is seated in the groove in the splined bore of the inner race. This snap ring will keep the brake clutch assembly correctly positioned in the center of the friction brake pack. Binding of the brake or brake failure may occur if this snap ring is omitted.
27
HOIST ASSEMBLY
NOTE: PD15B HOISTS ONLY
The drum closure will not fi t through the opening in the base. For hoists with a three piece base, fi rst assemble the bearing support side plate (91) to the base plate (90). Go to step 1 and follow the assembly procedure. Install the motor end side plate and tie bar(s) after installing the drum closure in step 10.
For hoists with a one piece cast base, use the following assembly procedure. With the drum horizontal, install the output planet carrier assembly, output sun gear (34), thrust washer (43), primary planet carrier assembly, thrust washer (31) and drum closure. (Apply a light coat of grease to the thrust washer to hold them in position.) Position the drum in the base and install the bearing support. (Refer to step 3 for two caution statements.) You may have to rotate the bearing support or planet gears to engage the bearing support with the output planet carrier. Install and hand tighten the bearing support capscrews. Stand hoist on bearing support end and visually check to verify the primary thrust plate is properly positioned. (Refer to caution and drawings in step 16.) Install the primary sun gear and proceed to step 11 to complete hoist assembly. Tighten bearing support capscrews to recommended torque after motor is installed.
!
CAUTION !
Hoists with a three piece fabricated base use special shoulder capscrews to fasten side plates to the base plate. DO NOT use standard capscrews in their place.
PD12C, PD15B, PD17A
!
CAUTION !
Make certain the snap ring is installed on the bearing support. This snap ring will keep the output planet carrier correctly positioned in the hoist. Gear train damage may occur if this snap ring is omitted.
1. Place hoist base on side with bearing support end up.
2. Install a new bearing in the drum if replacement is necessary. Apply a non-hardening sealant on the outside diameter of the new seal. Install the spring side of the seal next to the bearing, then press into the drum, using a fl at plate to avoid distortion. Be sure drain plug is installed securely.
3. Center the drum in the opening of the base. Lubricate the bearing support with petroleum jelly or gear oil and install in base and drum.
28
!
CAUTION !
Be sure the vent plug is located above the horizontal centerline for the intended application. Oil leakage may occur if vent is positioned incorrectly.
4. Tighten the bearing support capscrews to the recommended torque.
5. Stand hoist on bearing support end. Install the output sun gear and thrust washer into output planet carrier.
8. Install the primary planet carrier, meshing the planet gears with the ring gear and the planet housing with the output sun gear.
6. Install the output planet carrier into the drum while meshing the planet gears with the ring gear and the planet housing with the bearing support.
7. Install the primary sun gear and thrust washer into the primary planet carrier.
9. Install a new bearing in the drum closure as required. Use sealant on the outside surface of the oil seal. Install with spring side of the seal toward bearing, using a fl at plate to avoid distortion.
Install a new O-ring in the groove on the O.D. of the drum closure.
29
10. Lubricate the O-ring and drum opening with petroleum jelly or gear oil and install the drum closure into the drum.
11. Lubricate the pilot, oil seal and bearing surfaces of the brake cylinder and carefully install brake cylinder into base and drum. Locate the brake release port toward the lower rear corner of the base. Tighten brake cylinder capscrews to recommended torque.
13. If the brake discs are misaligned, preventing the installation of the clutch, then with a hand pump, apply 750-1000 psi to the brake release port. The brake discs will move freely with the brake released, permitting alignment of the discs, brake clutch and input sun gear.
12. Install the brake clutch assembly with the short end of the inner race toward motor.
When installed correctly, the inner race should turn freely in the opposite direction the drum turns to pull wire rope in. An easy way to check the rotation is to hold the outer race in one hand, and rotate the inner race.
If the clutch free wheels in the wrong direction, disassemble the clutch and reverse the inner race.
Refer to “Brake Clutch Service” for additional information.
14. Install the hoses and fi ttings to the brake cylinder release port.
15. Install a new O-ring on the motor pilot then lubricate with petroleum jelly or gear oil.
NOTE: The following caution DOES NOT apply to
PD17A hoists. Proceed to step 16.
!
CAUTION !
Care must be taken to assure the primary thrust plate remains properly located in its counterbore when the motor is installed for the fi rst time, or is being reinstalled on the hoist. It is possible for the primary thrust plate to drop out of its counterbore and become wedged between the planet gears and the planet carrier. If the hoist is operated with the primary thrust plate wedged between primary gears and the planet carrier, or with a thrust washer out of position, severe damage to internal hoist components could result.
Be certain the snap ring is seated in the groove in the splined bore of the inner race. This snap ring will keep the brake clutch assembly correctly positioned in the center of the friction brake pack. Binding of the brake or brake failure may occur if this snap ring is omitted.
30
Measure the distance from the motor mounting surface to the inner brake race. With all components properly installed, this distance should be 11/16 in. (17.5 mm) to
3/4 in. (19.1 mm). If this distance is less than 9/16 in.
(14.3 mm), the primary spacer may be positioned as shown below and should be checked.
17. Install the hoses that connect the manifold and brake valve to the brake cylinder.
18. After the hoist assembly is complete, check all capscrews and fi ttings to make certain they have been tightened correctly.
Refi ll the hoist with the recommended oil listed under
“Preventive Maintenance”, and install the oil level plug.
The Primary Thrust Plate is shown wedged between the planet gears and the planet carrier. Note that the Primary Sun Gear and the entire Brake Clutch Assembly have moved to the right (toward the hydraulic motor).
16. Engage the motor shaft with the brake clutch inner race and lower motor into place. Tighten capscrews to recommended torque.

(7/16-20 THD)
The BRADEN brake valve is a reliable hydraulic valve with internal components manufactured to close tolerances. Due to the close tolerances and mating of components, the valve housing, spool, piston and check poppet are not available as replacement parts.
Before disassembling the brake valve, be sure you have conducted all applicable troubleshooting operations and are certain the brake valve is causing the malfunction.
Thoroughly clean the outside surfaces of the valve and work in a clean dust free area, as cleanliness is of utmost importance when servicing hydraulic components.
DISASSEMBLY
2. Remove the elbow fi tting, motor drain check ball and spring.
3. Remove the spool spring retainer and spool spring.
Check spring free length. Replace spring if less than 1 15/16 in. (49.2 mm) long.
1. Remove the pilot orifi ce from the brake release (BR) port using a 5/32 in. Allen wrench.
4. Remove spool plug and carefully remove spool assembly.
32
5. Remove the damper piston from the spool. The piston will come out slowly, because of a partial vacuum formed as it is removed. Use extreme care to avoid damaging the polished surfaces of the piston or spool.
ASSEMBLY
1. Install new O-rings on the plug and spring retainers.
6. Remove the check valve spring retainer, spring and check valve poppet. Check spring free length. Replace spring if less than 1-1/2 in. (38.1 mm) long.
CLEAN AND INSPECT
2. Install new O-rings and back-up rings on the spool and damper piston as shown. It is important that each back-up ring is on the correct side of its O-ring.
Take care not to cut the O-rings during assembly.
Let the spool and damper piston set for ten minutes before installing them in their respective bores. This will allow the O-rings to return to their original size after being stretched.
1. Discard all O-rings and back-up rings. Clean all parts in solvent and blow dry. Inspect polished surfaces of spool and damper piston for damage that may cause binding or leakage. Inspect spool bore in valve housing for damage or scoring. Inspect check valve seat in valve housing and check valve poppet. If the spools, bores or valves are damaged, the entire valve must be replaced as these parts are not serviced separately.
3. Lubricate the spool and damper piston O-rings with hydraulic oil. Carefully install the damper piston into the spool.
2. Inspect the .020 inch (.5 mm) orifi ce in the end of the spool and the pilot orifi ce to be certain they are open.
4. Lubricate the spool bore and spool O-rings with hydraulic oil. Carefully install the spool into the valve housing. Always install the spool from the plug end as shown to minimize the possibility of damaging the O-ring. Install the plug, spool spring and spring retainer.
5. Install the check valve poppet, spring and check valve spring retainer.
6. Install the motor drain check ball, spring and elbow fi tting.
7. Install the pilot orifi ce into the valve housing.
8. The brake valve is complete and ready to be installed on hoist motor.

In order to change the direction of rotation and brake operation, 2 components must be changed on the hoist. First, the motor must be made to rotate in the opposite direction. This is done by exchanging positions of the brake valve and manifold block on the motor. Secondly, the brake clutch assembly must be made effective for the opposite direction of rotation. This is done by reversing the inner race of the brake clutch assembly.
Figures “A” and “B” above show typical PD12C motor installations. Note that the only difference between the two drawings is the motor is rotated 180° (the “belly” of the motor moves to the opposite side). If the motor shaft rotates clockwise in fi gure ‘A” when the hoisting port is pressurized, it will rotate counterclockwise in fi gure “B”.
1. Remove the four capscrews securing the brake valve to the motor. Remove the four capscrews securing the manifold block to the motor. Disconnect the motor case drain hose at the motor. NOTE: Some installations have the brake release hose connected directly to the motor, instead of to the manifold block.
In this case, disconnect the brake release hose at the motor port. Stand hoist up on drum support with the motor end up and secure in this position.
2. Before removing the motor, it is a good idea to note or mark the position of the motor in relation to the hoist, since it will be rotated 180° when reinstalled.
Remove the capscrews securing the motor to the hoist and carefully remove the motor.
4. Remove the snap ring and sprag bushing retainer from one end only of the brake clutch assembly.
3. Remove the brake clutch assembly from the motor support.
34
5. Pull the inner race out. Examine the race for scoring, wear or indentations caused by the sprag cams.
If the inner race is not completely smooth, the assembly should be replaced.
7. Before installing the brake clutch, be sure the inner race turns free in the opposite direction the drum will turn to haul-in wire rope. An easy way to check the rotation is to hold the outer race in one hand and rotate the inner race. Install the brake clutch with the short end of the inner race toward the motor.
6. Turn the sprag assembly around and slide the inner race (with 1 snap ring and bushing retainer) through the bushings and sprag clutch (the race will have to be rotated in the free-wheeling direction to start it through the sprag clutch). Install the remaining bushing retainer and snap ring. Make certain the snap ring is properly seated in the groove.
8. Install a new O-ring on the motor pilot. Rotate the motor 180° from its original position and install it onto the hoist. Install and tighten motor capscrews to recommended torque.
9. Install new O-rings in the brake valve and manifold block. Attach the brake valve and manifold block to the motor using the original capscrews and tighten to recommended torque.
10. Connect the motor case drain hose to the motor case drain port. NOTE: On two speed motors, the case drain and shift drain should be connected directly to tank. DO NOT use the drain connection on the brake valve. See “TWO SPEED MOTOR CASE
DRAIN PLUMBING” for additional information.
Be certain the snap ring is seated in the groove in the splined bore of the inner race. This snap ring will keep the brake clutch assembly correctly positioned in the center of the friction brake pack. Binding of the brake or brake failure may occur if this snap ring is omitted.
11. If your hoist had the brake release hose connected directly to the motor, the original motor port must be plugged and the hose connected to the motor pressure port near the manifold block (lowering port).
12. Operate the hoist slowly in both directions and check for oil leaks and/or unusual sounds. The hoist should operate smoothly in both directions.
Refer to “WIRE AND BRAIDED ROPE INSTALLA-
TION” and properly install rope onto the hoist drum.
13. Before returning the hoist to full service, a light load should be lifted and held three feet (1 meter) off the ground to be sure the static brake is functioning properly. The hoist should also be able to slowly lower the load in a smooth and controlled manner.
If the hoist does not perform either of these functions, refer to “TROUBLESHOOTING” for additional information.

PD17A ROTATION INDICATION PROXIMITY SENSOR
Early PD17A models have a rotation indicator proximity sensor and hub between the motor and the hoist. If the sensor is removed or replaced, use the following procedure for adjustment and testing. Refer to the drawing below for item numbers.
Install a new O-ring (item 108) onto motor pilot. Install sensor hub (item 123) onto motor shaft, positioning the sensor hub so that one of the lobes will be directly under the sensor port. Install the motor onto the hoist. Install capscrews and lockwashers (items 101 & 102) securing the motor to motor adapter.
!
CAUTION !
If sensor hub is not correctly positioned with a lobe directly under the sensor port, proper adjustment may not be possible and severe damage to the sensor and internal hoist components may result.
Install fl atwasher (item 121) and O-ring (item 122) onto new sensor (item 120). Apply a small amount of silicone sealant to the threads just below the washer and O-ring. DO NOT apply sealant to the end of the sensor or to the threads of the sensor port where it could be pushed into the hoist. Install the sensor into the motor adapter until it contacts the sensor hub. Back sensor out of the port 2 complete turns. Attach wire harness to sensor to verify proper sensor operation. IT IS NOT necessary to operate the hoist motor. If sensor light is on, hold sensor from turning and tighten jam nut against motor adapter. If light is off or blinks intermittently, adjust sensor inward toward sensor hub until light remains on, then tighten jam nut.
