PERATION
The load lifting attachment is used for quickly providing an attachment point, redirecting
a rope or, when further pulley blocks are used, for building a pulley system.
Any different or exceeding use is considered incorrect. Columbus McKinnon Industrial
Products GmbH will not accept any liability for damage resulting from such use. The
risk is borne by the user or operating company alone.
The load capacity indicated on the unit is the maximum working load limit (WLL) that
may be attached. In addition, the load capacity is the result of the data of the pulley
blocks used and the individual types of attachment.
The use and maintenance of the wire rope must be monitored with the help of DIN
15020 Sheet 2.
The selection and calculation of the appropriate supporting structure are the
responsibility of the operating company.
The attachment point and its supporting structure must be designed for the maximum
loads to be expected (deadweight of the unit + load capacity).
The load lifting attachment must be arranged on the attachment point in such a way that
it can freely align between incoming and outgoing rope fall.
The operator must ensure that the hoist is suspended in a manner that makes it
possible to operate the unit without exposing himself or other personnel to danger by
the unit itself, the suspension or the load.
The operator may start moving the load only after it has been attached correctly and all
persons are clear of the danger zone.
Do not allow personnel to stay or pass under a suspended load.
A lifted or clamped load must not be left unattended or remain lifted or clamped for a
longer period of time.
The hoist may be used at ambient temperatures between –10° and +50°C. Consult the
manufacturer in the case of extreme working conditions.
Prior to operation of the hoist in special atmospheres (high humidity, salty, caustic,
alkaline) or handling hazardous goods (e.g. molten compounds, radioactive materials),
consult the manufacturer for advice.
The rope must only be returned by means of fully functional and sufficiently
dimensioned rope pulleys (return pulleys).
When hooks and/or rope slings or chains are used, it must be ensured that they are
correctly dimensioned.
For attaching a load, only approved and certified lifting tackle must be used.
Correct operation involves compliance with the operating instructions and in addition
also compliance with the maintenance instructions.
In case of functional defects or abnormal operating noise, stop using the hoist
immediately.

PERATION
(List not complete)
Do not exceed the rated load capacity (WLL) of the unit.
Do not allow the load to fall into the slack rope – danger of rope rupture!
The load lifting attachment must only be operated with wire ropes with a diameter that
matches the data on the identity plate.
Removing or covering labels (e.g. by adhesive labels), warning information signs or the
identity plate is prohibited.
When transporting loads ensure that the load does not swing or come into contact with
other objects.
The load must not be moved into areas which are not visible to the operator. If
necessary, he must ensure he is given help.
Welding work on the unit is prohibited. The unit must never be used as a ground
connection during welding.
Side pull, i. e. side loading of the housing and/or the hook is forbidden.
A unit changed without consulting the manufacturer must not be used.
Do not use the load lifting attachment for the transportation of people.
Do not tie knots in the rope or extend or shorten it by using rope clamps, screws or
similar. Ropes must not be repaired.
Removing the safety latch from the hook is forbidden.
Never attach the load to the tip of the hook. The lifting tackle must always be seated in
the saddle of the hook.
The load must not be allowed to revolve around its own axis, since the rope and the
load hook of the unit have not been designed for turning attached loads. If loads must
be turned in normal operation, an anti-twist swivel must be used or the manufacturer
must be consulted. The rope must not twirl since this may cause malfunctions in the
unit and damage to the rope.
It must be ensured that the hook safely locks the movable side plate.
When ropes are used, it must be ensured that they are correctly dimensioned. The
principles laid down in DIN 15020 for rope drive arrangements must be complied with.
Only one individual load may be suspended in the hook of the load lifting attachment.
Never reach into moving parts.
Do not allow the unit to fall from a large height. Always place it properly on the ground.
The unit must not be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.

SSEMBLY
Inspection of the attachment point
The attachment point for the hoist must be selected so that the supporting structure to
which it is to be fitted has sufficient stability and to ensure that the expected forces can
be safely absorbed.
The unit must align freely also under load in order to avoid impermissible additional
loading.
The selection and calculation of the appropriate supporting structure are the
responsibility of the operating company.
ATTENTION: When the hoist is used in combination with return pulleys (pulley
block principle), a multiple of the load weight may act on the supporting
structure!

PERATION
Prior to initial operation, before it is put into operation again and after substantial
changes, the product including the supporting structure must be inspected by a
competent person*. The inspection mainly consists of a visual inspection and a function
check. These inspections are intended to establish that the hoist is in a safe condition,
has been set up appropriately and is ready for operation and that any defects or
damage are detected and eliminated, as required.
*Competent persons may be, for example, the maintenance engineers of the
manufacturer or the supplier. However, the company may also assign performance of
the inspection to its own appropriately trained specialist personnel.
Attention: Always wear protection gloves for handling wire ropes.

Before starting work, inspect the unit including the suspension, equipment and
supporting structure for visual defects, e. g. deformations, superficial cracks, wear and
corrosion marks. In addition also test the brake and check that the hoist and the load
are correctly attached.
Inspection of the attachment point
The attachment point for the hoist must be selected so that the supporting structure to
which it is to be fitted has sufficient stability and to ensure that the expected forces can

ATTENTION: When the hoist is used in combination with return pulleys (pulley
block principle), a multiple of the load weight may act on the supporting
structure!
Inspection of the rope
ATTENTION: Always wear protection gloves for handling wire ropes.
Check the rope for outer defects, deformations, kinks, broken individual wires or
strands, crushing, swelling, rust damage (e.g. corrosion marks), strong overheating and
heavy wear of the rope end connections (e.g. pressure sleeve). Rope damage may
result in malfunctions and lasting damage to the cable puller. Protruding, broken wires
may cause injuries.
If slight damage (not yet resulting in discarding of the rope) is determined, the
inspection intervals must be shortened.
Inspection of the hook
The top resp. load hooks must be checked for cracks, deformations, damage, wear and
corrosion marks. The safety latch must move freely and be fully functioning.
Function check
Before start-up, check that the rope drive is working in the unloaded condition.
O
PERATION
Installation, service, operation
Operators delegated to install, service or independently operate the hoist must have
had suitable training and be competent. Operators are to be specifically nominated by
the company and must be familiar with all relevant safety regulations of the country of
use.
Inserting a wire rope
Before inserting a wire rope, make sure that the rope diameter matches the rope pulley.
Turn the hook of the load lifting attachment by 90° to the side so that the locking tab of
the hook faces the rope pulley and the movable side part can be opened. After inserting
the wire rope, close the movable side part again and turn the hook back in the pulling
direction so that the movable side part is safely locked.

According to national and international accident prevention and safety regulations load
lifting attachments must be inspected:
• in accordance with the risk assessment of the operating company
• prior to initial operation
• before the unit is put into service again following a shut down
• after substantial changes
• however, at least once per year, by a competent person.
ATTENTION: Actual operating conditions (e.g. operation in galvanizing facilities)
can dictate shorter inspection intervals.
Repair work may only be carried out by a specialist workshop that uses original Yale
spare parts. The inspection (mainly consisting of a visual inspection and a function
check) must determine that all safety devices are complete and fully operational and
cover the condition of the unit, suspension, equipment and supporting structure with
regard to damage, wear, corrosion or any other alterations.
Initial operation and recurring inspections must be documented (e.g. in the CMCO
works certificate of compliance).
If required, the results of inspections and appropriate repairs must be verified. If the
hoist (from 1 t lifting weight) is fitted on or in a trolley and if the hoist is used to move a
lifted load in one or several directions, the installation is considered to be a crane and
the further inspections must be carried out, as required.
Paint damage should be touched up in order to avoid corrosion. All joints and sliding
surfaces should be slightly greased. In the case of heavy contamination, the unit must
be cleaned.
The unit must be given a general overhaul after 10 years, at the latest.
In particular, check the dimensions of the wire rope and the suspension.
ATTENTION: After the replacement of components, a subsequent inspection by a
competent person is obligatory!
Inspection of the wire rope
DIN 15020 sheet 2 “Principles Relating to Rope Drives; Supervision during Operation”
and the relevant international and national regulations of the country of use are
definitive for the maintenance and inspection of wire ropes.
Maintenance of the wire rope
At the end of the working day, clean the wire rope from coarse dirt over its entire length
(i.e. including the part which is in the hoist or in the load lifting attachment) and slightly
regrease it in order to prevent corrosion.
Inspection of the load hook
Inspect the hook for deformation, damage, surface cracks, wear and signs of corrosion,
as required, but at least once a year. Actual operating conditions may also dictate
shorter inspection intervals.
Hooks that do not fulfil all requirements must be replaced immediately. Welding on
hooks, e.g. to compensate for wear or damage is not permissible. Hooks must be
replaced when the mouth of the hook has opened more than 10% or when the nominal
dimensions have reduced by 5% as a result of wear. Nominal dimensions and wear
limits are shown in table 2. If the limit values are reached, replace the components.
Repairs may only be carried out by authorized specialist workshops that use
original Yale spare parts.
After repairs have been carried out and after extended periods of non-use, the hoist
must be inspected again before it is put into service again.
The inspections have to be initiated by the operating company.
