Yale Electric Wire Rope Winch
3.3 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Attention!
Work on electrical equipment may only be carried out by
trained and certified tradesmen. The local regulations
e.g. DIN 7100/VDE 0100 and DIN 57113/VDE 0113 resp.
VDE 0105 and IEC 364 apply.
• Before beginning work on electrical components the main
current switch must be switched off and secured against
unintentionally being switched on. Test and ensure that
the system is electrically dead.
• Before connecting the winch ensure that the electrical
data on the nameplate match the local specifications.
Mains supply
The mains supply cable must be an insulated cable with 4
flexible leads. The ground (earth) lead must be longer than
the live leads. For wire cross-section and fusing see bottom
table. Use sleeves on the lead ends.
Connections are to be made according to the wiring
diagram in the terminal box or as shown in the operating
instructions.
Attention: The winch must be completely wired before it
is connected to the mains supply.
Connecting the pendant control
The length of the pendant control cable is determined by
the working conditions. Use sleeves at the lead ends.
Attach the support wire in a manner that the pendant control
cable hangs load-free.
Check the motor's direction of rotation
The wiring diagram included has been drawn for a normal,
clockwise rotating installation. Should the user's mains
supply not fulfil these requirements, e.g. winch lowers when
lift is selected (or vice versa) switch the unit off immediately
and exchange two of the three phase connections in the
mains connection.
Under no circumstances may the wiring in the pendant
control be tampered with!
3.4 FITTING THE WIRE ROPE
• Only unsheated wire ropes with a minimum breaking
strength of 1770 N/mm² in accordance with DIN 3051 may
be used. If the load will be free to rotate use a low-twist wire
rope e.g. in accordance with DIN 3069-SE.
• Before fitting the wire rope unreel it completely so it lies
straight and uncoiled on the floor. This will prevent the
wire rope from being pinched or twisted open when it is
reeled onto the rope drum.

• To connect the wire rope enter the rope end into the bore
in the rope drum and push it through to the end. Enter
copper washers (item 25, page 9) between screws and
rope and tighten the retaining screws to the torque shown
in the table below.

• The rope must be fitted so that it will not kink when unreeled
(see Fig. 9).
• Wind the wire rope tightly onto the rope drum. Ensure that
it is not kinked or interwinded.
• Wire length should be such that at least 2,5 turns of rope
always remain on the drum.
• Lubricate the wire rope over its complete length with a
suitable lubricant.
3.5 FUNCTION TEST AFTER ASSEMBLY
Before operating the winch check following items:
• Are all connections and retaining screws tight and secure?
• Is the wire rope wound tightly and evenly, without kinks
and interwinds, onto the drum?
Then unwind and rewind the wire rope over its complete
length unloaded.
