Repairs may only be carried out by authorized specialist workshops that use original
Yale spare parts.
Pulling the hand chain in clockwise direction will raise the load.
Attention: Depending on the type of load picked up, note that the lifting height may be
reduced for models with chain container!
The inspections have to be initiated by the operating company.
Pulling the hand chain in anticlockwise direction will lower the load.
Yale overload protection device (optional)
The overload protection device is set to approx. 25% (±15%) overload. Its adjustment must
only be carried out by a competent person.
When the load limit is exceeded, the overload protection device is activated and prevents
further lifting of the load, lowering is still possible.

According to national and international accident prevention and safety regulations hoisting
equipment 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 load chain, the load hook and the top hook.
ATTENTION: After the replacement of components, a subsequent inspection by a
competent person is obligatory!
Inspection of the load chain (acc. to DIN 685-5)
Load chains must be inspected for mechanical damage at annular intervals, however after 50
operating hours, at the latest. Inspect the load chain for sufficient lubrication and check for
external defects, deformations, superficial cracks, wear and corrosion marks.
