Replacing the hand chain
ATTENTION: Chains must only be replaced by chains of the same material, with the
same quality and the same dimensions.
• An open load chain link is required as a tool. It can be obtained by using an abrasive wheel
to cut a section from an existing link with the same dimension. The length of the cut section
must at least correspond to the thickness of the link.
• Open the old hand chain (preferably on the connection link) and suspend the open link into
the loose end of the hand chain which lies "in front of" the hand chain wheel.
• Suspend the new hand chain also in the open link and pull it through the chain guides and
over the hand chain wheel.
• Do not fit a twisted chain. The welds must face outwards.
• Separate the old hand chain including the open connection link from the new hand chain and
connect the two loose ends of the new hand chain by means of a new hand chain connection
link.
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.

Observe the following for transporting the unit:
• Do not drop or throw the unit, always deposit it carefully.
• Hand chains and load chains must be transported in a way to avoid knotting and formation of
loops.
• Use suitable transport means. These depend on the local conditions.
Observe the following for storing or temporarily taking the unit out of service:
• Store the unit at a clean and dry place.
• Protect the unit incl. all accessories against contamination, humidity and damage by means
of a suitable cover.
• Protect hooks against corrosion.
• A light lubricant film should be applied to the chains.
• Since the brake disks may freeze at temperature below 0 °C, the unit should be stored with
closed brake. Turn the hand chain wheel clockwise to this effect and hold the load fall at the
same time.
• If the unit is to be used again after it has been taken out of service, it must first be inspected
again by a competent person.
Disposal
After taking the unit out of service, recycle or dispose of the parts of the unit in accordance
with the legal regulations.
