Incorrect Operation - Columbus McKinnon Yalelift 360 Traduction De Mode D'emploi

English
INTRODUCTION
Products of CMCO Industrial Products GmbH
have been built in accordance with the state-
of-the-art and generally accepted engineering
standards. Nonetheless, incorrect handling
when using the products may cause dangers
to life and limb of the user or third parties
and/or damage to the hoist or other property.
The operating company is responsible for
the proper and professional instruction of
the operating personnel. For this purpose, all
operators must read these operating instruc-
tions carefully prior to the initial operation.
These operating 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 operate the
product in a safe, correct and economic way.
Acting in accordance with these instructions
helps to avoid dangers, reduce repair costs
and downtimes and to increase the reliability
and lifetime of the product. The operating
instructions must always be available at the
place where the product is operated. Apart
from the operating instructions and the
accident prevention act valid for the respec-
tive country and area where the product is
used, the commonly accepted regulations
for safe and professional work must also be
adhered to.
The personnel responsible for operation,
maintenance or repair of the product must
read, understand and follow these operating
instructions.
The indicated protective measures will only
provide the necessary safety, if the product
is operated correctly and installed and/or
maintained according to the instructions. The
operating company is committed to ensure
safe and trouble-free operation of the product.
CORRECT OPERATION
- The unit is used for vertical lifting and lower-
ing of loads up to the indicated max. load
capacity. In combination with trolleys, loads
can also be moved horizontally.
- Any diff erent or exceeding use is con-
sidered incorrect. Columbus McKinnon
Industrial Products GmbH will not accept
any liability for damage resulting from
such use. The risk is borne by the user
or operating company alone.
- The load capacity indicated on the unit is the
maximum working load limit (WLL) that may
be attached.

- If the hoist is to be used for frequent lowering
from large heights or in indexed operation,
fi rst consult the manufacturer for advice
because of possible overheating.
- The top hook and the load hook of the unit
must be in a vertical line above the load
centre of gravity (S) when the load is lifted,
in order to avoid load sway during the lifting
process (Fig. 1).
- The selection and calculation of the appropri-
ate supporting structure are the responsibil-
ity of the operating company.
- The operator must ensure that the hoist is
suspended in a manner that makes it pos-
sible to operate the unit without exposing
himself or other personnel to danger by the
unit itself, the suspension or the load.
- The operator may start moving the load only
after it has been attached correctly and all
persons are clear of the danger zone.
- Do not allow personnel to stay or pass under
a suspended load.
- A lifted or clamped load must not be left
unattended or remain lifted or clamped for
a longer period of time.
- The hoist may be used at ambient tempera-
tures between –10 °C and +50 °C.
Consult the manufacturer in the case of
extreme working conditions.
ATTENTION: Before use at ambient tem-
peratures of less than 0°C, check the brake
for freezing by lifting and lowering a small
load 2 - 3 times.
- Prior to operation of the hoist in special
atmospheres (high humidity, salty, caustic,
alkaline) or handling hazardous goods (e.g.
molten compounds, radioactive materials),
consult the manufacturer for advice.
- Always transport the load in the horizontal
direction slowly, carefully and close to the
ground.
- When the unit is not in use, position the
suspension (e.g. bottom block, load hook)
above normal head height, if possible.
- For attaching a load, only approved and
certifi ed lifting tackle must be used.
- Correct operation involves compliance with
the operating instructions and in addition
also compliance with the maintenance
instructions.
- In case of functional defects or abnormal
operating noise, stop using the hoist im-
mediately.

INCORRECT OPERATION

(List not complete)
- Do not exceed the rated load capacity (WLL)
of the unit and/or the suspension and the
supporting structure.
- The unit must not be used for pulling free
fi xed loads. It is also prohibited to allow loads
to drop when the chain is in a slack condition
(danger of chain breakage).
- Removing or covering labels (e.g. by adhe-
sive labels), warning information signs or the
identity plate is prohibited.
- When transporting loads ensure that the load
does not swing (Fig. 2) or come into contact
with other objects.
- The load must not be moved into areas which
are not visible to the operator. If necessary,
he must ensure he is given help.
- Driving the unit with a motor is not allowed.
- The unit must never be operated with more
than the power of a person.
- Welding on hook and load chain is strictly
forbidden. The load chain must never be
used as a ground connection during welding
(Fig. 3).
- Side pull, i. e. side loading of either the hous-
ing or the bottom block (Fig. 4) is forbidden.
- The load chain must not be used as a chain
sling (Fig. 5).
- A unit changed without consulting the
manufacturer must not be used.
- Do not use the hoist for the transportation
of people (Fig. 6).
- Do not knot the load chain or connect it by
using pins, bolts, screw drivers or similar. Do
not repair load chains installed in the hoist
(Fig. 7).
- Removing the safety latches from top and/
or load hooks is forbidden (Fig. 8).
- Never attach the load to the tip of the hook
(Fig. 9). The lifting tackle must always be
seated in the saddle of the hook.
- Do not use the chain stop (Fig. 11) as an
operational limit device.
- Turning of loads under normal operating
conditions is not allowed, as the bottom
blocks of the hoists are not designed for this
purpose. If loads must be turned in normal
operation, an anti-twist swivel must be used
or the manufacturer must be consulted.
- Only one load lifting attachment may be
suspended in the load hook of the hoist.
- Never reach into moving parts.
- Do not allow the unit to fall from a large
height. Always place it properly on the
ground.
- The unit must not be used in potentially
explosive atmospheres (special models on
request).
