6. SERVICE
• Service and inspections may only be carried out by a
competent person.
• The inspection must determine that all safety devices
are present and fully operational and covers the condition
of the hoist, lifting gear , accessories and supporting con-
structions.
• The service intervals and inspections noted are for
normal working conditions. Adverse working conditions,
e.g. heat or chemical environments, can dictate shorter
periods.
•The Yale electric chain hoists conform to FEM group 1Am
resp. 1Bm in accordance with FEM 9.511. This results in a
theoretical service lifetime of 800 resp. 400 operating
hours under full load. This is equivalent to 10 years under
normal operating conditions. After this period the hoist
requires a general overhaul. Further information is con-
tained in VBG 9 resp. FEM 9.755.
6.1 Daily checks
1.) Visually check the pendant control switch and cable for
damage.
2.) Check that the brake funtions correctly.
3.) Check that the overload safety device functions correctly.
4.) Electric chain hoists with trolley:
- Check that the trolley runway is free from obstructions
- Check that the end stops on the trolley runway are
fitted and secure.
6.2 Regular inspections, service, testing
According to national and international safety regulations
hoisting equipment must be inspected at least annually by
a competent person. Adverse working conditions, e.g. heat
or chemical environments, can dictate shorter periods.
The commissioning and inspection details can be noted
on the test certificate delivered with the hoist or on page 30
of this manual.
Repairs may only be carried out by specialist workshops
that use original Yale spare parts.
Attention: Tests must - as far as possible - be carried out
in an unloaded condition and the hoist / trolley
currentless.
