NSPECTION EFORE
Inspection of the lifting tackle
Check the complete lifting tackle for damage, cracks, deformations, wear and corrosion marks.
Ensure that the surface of the load is free from paint, contamination and scale and is not
coated, so that the clamping jaws can make good contact with the surface of the load.
Check the clamping jaws for wear and defects. Both jaws must have clean profiles.
Check the spring tension. The clamping jaw must have a clearly noticeable pressure force
already without any tensile forces acting on the eye.
The lifting tackle must open and close easily and freely.
O
PERATION
Installation, service, operation
Operators delegated to install, service or independently operate the hoist must have had
suitable training and be competent. Operators are to be specifically nominated by the
company and must be familiar with all relevant safety regulations of the country of use.

NSPECTION ERVICE
According to national and international accident prevention and safety regulations load lifting
attachments 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.
ATTENTION: After the replacement of components, a subsequent inspection by a
competent person is obligatory!
