2. CORRECT OPERATION
Maximum capacity
The Yale electric chain hoist series CPE/F has been designed to lift
and lower loads up to the rated capacity. The lifting capacity indicated
on the hoist/trolley is the maximum safe working load which must not
be exceeded.
Danger zones
• Do not allow personnel to pass under a
suspended load (see Fig. 2).
• 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.
Attaching the hoist / trolley
• The operator must ensure that the hoist / trolley is attached in a
manner that does not expose himself or other personnel to danger by
the hoist, trolley, chain(s) or the load.
