I
NTRODUCTION
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 instructions 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 respective 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.

ERMANENT OUND
The equivalent permanent sound pressure level at the workplace of the operating staff is ≤ 70 dB. It was determined with the use of the
measurement surface sound pressure level method (distance from lifting device 1 m, 9 measuring points, precision class 2 DIN 45635).
T
HEORETICAL SERVICE LIFE
The Yale electric chain hoist CPV/F is classified in accordance with FEM 9.511 in the FEM Group 1Am /M4. This theoretically results in
a service life of 800 operating hours under full load.
Basic principles for the calculation of the theoretical remaining service life are given in BGV D8. When the theoretical remaining service
life has been reached, the hoist should be subjected to a general overhaul.
R
EGULATIONS
Before the initial start-up, a check must be performed by a competent person as per the mandatory accident prevention rules applicable
in the user's country, as well as in accordance with the recognised rules for safety and proper working.
In Germany, these are the accident prevention specifications of the Trade Association BGV D6, BGV D8, BGR 500 and VDE 0113-
32/EN 60204-32:2008.
C
ORRECT OPERATION
The Yale CPV/F electric chain hoist production series has been designed to lift and lower loads up to the rated capacity. In combination
with a trolley, the device is also ideal for the horizontal movement of overhead loads.
Any different or exceeding use is considered incorrect. Columbus McKinnon Industrial Products GmbH will not accept any liability for
damage resulting from such use. The risk is borne by the user resp. operating company alone.
The lifting capacity indicated on the hoist/trolley is the maximum safe working load which must not be exceeded.
ATTENTION: The unit may be used only in situations in which the load carrying capacity of the device and/or the supporting
structure does not change with the load position.
ATTENTION: Note that depending on the type of load, the lifting height may be reduced for models with chain container!
The attachment point and its supporting structure must be designed for the maximum loads to be expected.
The selection and calculation of the appropriate supporting structure are the responsibility of the operating company.
The suspension bracket (or the optional trolley) as well as the load hook of the unit must be in a vertical line above the load centre of
gravity (S) when the load is lifted, so that load sway can be avoided during the lifting process.
The following are applicable to devices in a trolley:
The hoist is suitable for a wide range of beams as well as various profiles (e.g. INP, IPE, IPB, etc.) with a maximum inclination of the
beam flange not exceeding 14°.
The runway must only have a deflection of maximum 1/500 of the span even under maximum load.
The longitudinal gradient of the travel path surface may not exceed 0.3%.
The air gap between the wheel flange and the beam flange ("dimension A") must be 2.0 mm on either side of the trolley.
Always transport loads in the horizontal direction slowly, carefully and close to the ground.
In manual trolleys without a winch drive, the suspended load must be pushed. It cannot be pulled.
Under no circumstances can a device or unit with an attached load be pulled via control cable!
If the area in front of the load is not sufficiently visible, the operator must make sure that he is given help.
