Incorrect Operation - Columbus McKinnon Yale CPV Series Translated Operating Instructions

24
Do not allow personnel to pass under a suspended load.
After lifting or tensioning, a load must not be left unattended or remain lifted for a longer period of time.
The operator may start moving the load only after it has been attached correctly and all persons are clear of the danger zone.
The operator must ensure that the hoist/trolley is attached in a manner that does not expose himself or other personnel to danger by the
hoist, trolley, chain(s) or the load.
The units can be operated in ambient temperatures between -20 °C and +50 °C. Consult the manufacturer in case of extreme working
conditions.
ATTENTION: Before using the device at ambient temperatures of less than 0°C, make sure that the brake is not frozen by
lifting and lowering a small load 2-3 times.
Prior to operation of the load lifting attachment in special atmospheres (high humidity, salty, caustic, alkaline) or handling hazardous
goods (e.g. molten compounds, radioactive materials) consult the manufacturer for advice.
When the unit is not in use, position the suspension above the normal head height, if possible.
Only use safety hooks with safety latches.
If the lifting device is used in a noise-intensive environment, it is recommended that the operator as well as maintenance staff wear ear
protection.
In order to ensure correct operation, not only the operating instructions, but also the conditions for inspection and maintenance must be
complied with.
If defects are found or abnormal noise is to be heard stop using the hoist/trolley immediately.
ATTENTION: Disconnect the power supply without failure before performing repair and maintenance work, even if the type of
check rules this out!
Maintenance work and the annual inspection of the units must not be carried out in explosive environments.

NCORRECT OPERATION
(List is not complete)
Do not exceed the rated load capacity (nominal load) of the trolley (if applicable) as well as the load of the supporting structure.
The unit must not be used for pulling free fixed loads. It is also prohibited to allow loads to drop when the chain is in a slack condition
(danger of chain breakage).
The hoist must not be used for pulling loads at an angle.
Removing or covering labels (e.g. adhesive stickers), warning information signs or the rating plate is prohibited. Removed or illegible
labels and instructions must be immediately replaced.
When transporting loads ensure that the load does not swing or come into contact with other objects.
Excessive inching operation by short and frequent actuation of the control switch should be avoided.
Do not use the hoist/trolley for the transportation of people
