funKtIon / BetrIeB
heben der Last
Durch Ziehen an der Handkette (Fig. 11) im
Uhrzeigersinn wird die Last angehoben.
Die Last stets in der Hakenmitte einhängen.
Hakenspitze nicht belasten (Fig. 8).
Senken der Last
Durch Ziehen an der Handkette (Fig. 11)
entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn wird die Last
abgesenkt.
Yale überlastsicherung (optional)
Die Überlastsicherung ist auf ca. 25% (±15%)
Überlast eingestellt. Die Einstellung der
Überlastsicherung darf nur durch einen
Sachkundigen erfolgen.
Bei Überschreiten der Lastbegrenzung tritt die
Überlastsicherung in Funktion und verhindert
ein Anheben der Last, während ein Senken
weiterhin möglich ist.
Prüfung / Wartung
Die Prüfung ist mindestens einmal jährlich,
bei schweren Einsatzbedingungen in kürzeren
Abständen, durch einen Sachkundigen
vorzunehmen. Die Prüfungen sind im
Wesentlichen Sicht- und Funktionsprüfungen,
wobei der Zustand von Bauteilen hinsichtlich
Beschädigung, Verschleiß, Korrosion oder
sonstigen Veränderungen beurteilt sowie
die Vollständigkeit und Wirksamkeit der
Sicherheitseinrichtungen festgestellt werden
muss.
reparaturen dürfen nur von fachwerk-
stätten, die original YaLe ersatzteile
verwenden, durchgeführt werden.
Die Prüfungen sind vom Betreiber zu
veranlassen.

IntroDuctIon
All users must read these operating
instructions carefully prior to the initial
operation. These instructions are intended to
acquaint the user with the product and enable
him to use it to the full extent of its intended
capabilities. The operating instructions contain
important information on how to handle the
product in a safe, correct and economic way.
Acting in accordance with these instructions
helps to avoid dangers, reduce repair cost
and down time and to increase the reliability
and lifetime of the product. Apart from the
operating instructions and the accident
prevention act valid for the respective country
and area where the product is used, also the
commonly accepted regulations for safe and
professional work must be adhered to.
correct oPeratIon
- The unit is used for lifting of loads.
- The capacity indicated on the product is the
maximum safe working load (W L L) that may
be attached.
- The load and suspension hook of the hoist
during lifting operations, must be perpen-
dicular to the center of the load to prevent
pendle motion of the load (Fig. 1).
- 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.
- The operator must ensure that the load is
attached in a manner that does not expose
himself or other personnel to danger by the
hoist, chain(s) or the load.
- The hoists can be operated in ambient
temperatures between -10° C and + 50° C.
Consult the manufacturer in case of extreme
working conditions.
Note: At ambient temperatures below 0° C
the brake should be checked for freezing.
- The accident prevention act and/or safety
regulations of the respective country for us-
ing manual hoists must be strictly adhered
to.
- In order to ensure correct operation, not
only the operation instructions, but also
the conditions for maintenance must be
complied with.
- lf defects are found stop using the hoist
immediately.

Incorrect oPeratIon

- Do not exceed the rated capacity of the hoist.
- Welding on hook and load chain is strictly
forbidden. The load chain must never be
used as ground connection during welding
(Fig. 2).
- Avoid side pull, i. e. side load on either
housing or bottom block (Fig. 3).
- The load chain must not be used for lashing
purposes (sling chain) (Fig. 4).
- It is forbidden to use this product for the
transportation of people (Fig. 5).
- Do not knot or shorten the load chain by
using bolts/screws/screwdrivers or other
devices (Fig. 6). Do not repair load chains
installed in the hoist.
- Do not remove the safety latch from the top
or bottom hooks (Fig. 7).
- Never attach the load on the tip of the hook.
This also applies to the top hook (Fig. 8).
- Do not use the chain stop as an operational
limit device (Fig. 11).
- Turning of loads under normal operating
conditions is not allowed, as the bottom
blocks of the hoists are not designed for
this purpose. If turning of loads is required
as standard, the bottom blocks have to be
provided with swivel hooks supported by
axial bearings. In case of queries consult
the manufacturer.
- Do not throw the hoist down. Always place
it properly on the ground.
InSPectIon PrIor to InItIaL
oPeratIon
Each unit must be inspected prior to initial
operation by a competent person. The inspec-
tion is visual and functional. This inspection
shall establish that the unit is safe and has
not been damaged by incorrect transport
or storage. Inspections should be made by
a representative of the manufacturer or the
supplier although the company can assign its
own suitably trained personnel.
InSPectIon Before StartIng
WorK
Before starting work inspect the hoist, chain(s)
and all load bearing constructions every time
for visual defects. Furthermore test the brake
and make sure that the load and hoist are
correctly attached. For this purpose a short
work cycle of lifting/pulling or tensioning and
releasing should be carried out.
Load chain inspection
Inspect the load chain for sufficient lubrica-
tion and visually check for external defects,
deformations, superficial cracks, wear or
corrosion marks.
