in 1 position in accordance with DIN 45635 precision class 2.
2 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 CORRECT OPERATION
Capacity / max. safe working load
The Yale pneumatic chain hoist CPA is designed to lift and lower
loads up to the rated capacity. The lifting capacity indicated on the
hoist is the maximum safe working load which must not be ex-
ceeded.
Danger zones:
Do not lift or transport loads while
personnel are in the danger zone.
Do not allow personnel to pass
under a suspended load.
After lifting or tensioning, a load
must not be left unattended for a
longer period of time.
Start moving the load only after it
has been attached correctly and
all personnel are clear of the
danger zone.
