INTRODUCTION The following service instructions have been prepared to provide assembly, disassembly, and maintenance information for the Gearmatic Model GH30B with FreeFall option. It is suggested that before doing any work on these units, all assembly and disassembly instructions should be read an understood. Some illustrations in this manual may show details or attachments that are different from your hoist.
EXPLANATION OF MODEL NUMBER GH30 B - FF - SPL - 40 000 - GH30 - DESIGNATES GEARMATIC 30 SERIES HOIST FAMILY - EVOLUTIONARY DESIGNATION - FULL RELEASE FREE FALL EQUIPPED - SPECIAL ORDER DESIGNATION - TOTAL GEAR REDUCTION (40:1) - MOTOR CODE, 000 WITHOUT MOTOR, ISO = MOTOR MOUNT &...

GENERAL INSTALLATION 1. The hoist must be mounted with the centerline of the CAUTION WARNING drum in a horizontal position. 2. When mounting the hoist, use SAE grade 8 (ISO class DO NOT use a control valve with any detents or latch- 10.9) capscrews or bolts and nuts using both mount- ing mechanism that would hold the control valve in an ing holes in each end plate.
WIRE ROPE INSTALLATION CAUTION WARNING THE CABLE ANCHORS ALONE ON HOISTS ARE NOT INTENDED TO HOLD RATED LOADS. Hoist loads applied directly to the wire rope anchor may cause the wire rope to pull free and result in the sudden loss of load control and cause property damage, personal injury or death.
If you have any questions concerning the safe operation of this hoist or the equipment it is mounted on, contact the equipment manufacturer that installed the hoist, or the PACCAR Winch Division Product Support Department at 1-918-251-8511, Monday through Friday, 0800 to 1630 hours CTZ, by fax at 1-918- 259-1575, or via the internet at www.paccarwinch.com.

The gear oil should be changed whenever the ambient drum drain plug. Rotate the drum until the drain plug is at temperature changes signifi cantly and an oil from a dif- the lowest point. ferent viscosity range would be more appropriate. Our tests indicate that excessively heavy or thick gear oil may To change the gear oil, remove the drain plugs shown on contribute to intermittent brake slippage.
Recommended Planetary Gear Oil Failure to use the proper type and viscosity of planetary gear oil may contribute to intermittent brake 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 slippage and damage to brake friction discs or seals.

HOIST DISASSEMBLY CAUTION The GH30B-FF weighs approximately 1650 lbs (750 kg). Make certain lifting equipment has adequate capacity. Using NOTE undersized or poorly maintained lifting equipment may result in a dropped load, property damage injury or death. DRAIN PLUGS 1. Remove the wire rope from the hoist. Drain the gear 5.

CAUTION The complete freefall assembly must be removed to service the internal parts, because the bearing support (802) cannot be removed without fi rst removing the freefall assembly at the support end-plate (3). This is done by removing the bolts and lockwashers (35 & 16). See Warning on page 15 10.
FREE FALL ATTACHMENT DISASSEMBLY CAUTION The GH30B freefall assembly weighs approximately 250 lb (114 kg). Make certain lifting equipment has ad- equate capacity. Using undersized or poorly maintained lifting equipment may result in a dropped load, property damage, injury or death. Refer to Winch disassembly to remove the freefall assem- bly from the winch.

FREE FALL ATTACHMENT 4. Remove the two spacers (815), ten divider plates (814), and seven friction plates (813). Clean and Inspect 1. Thoroughly clean and inspect all parts. Check sealing surfaces on the free fall housing, bearing support, and piston. Ensure the free fall release port is clean and free of debris.
Page 17
FREE FALL ATTACHMENT ASSEMBLY 1. Place the freefall housing (801) on a clean work sur- face with the bearing support (802) side facing up. Coat the friction plates with gear oil prior to installa- tion. 2. Place a spacer (815) in the freefall housing. The sev- en (7) friction discs and ten (10) divider plates must be installed in the proper order.
BRAKE CYLINDER DISASSEMBLY 1. A hydraulic press or spring compressor tool is re- quired to disassemble the brake subassembly. Place the brake subassembly on the press with the primary housing cover (201) down. Place a heavy steel bar across the large diameter of the pressure plate (210) and compress the springs until spring force is removed from the retaining ring (209).

PRIMARY PLANET CARRIER SERVICE ASSEMBLY 1. Install a bearing into a planet gear and place a thrust washer on each side of the gear. Position this assem- bly into an opening in the carrier. Slide a planet gear shaft through the carrier, thrust washer, bearing and remaining thrust washer.
OUTPUT PLANET CARRIER SERVICE DISASSEMBLY ASSEMBLY 1. Place the output carrier on a clean work surface with the splined end up. 2. Apply a liberal coat of oil soluble grease to a thrust washer and center it on one side of a planet gear. Place the planet gear on a clean work surface with the thrust washer down.
