Criteria for evaluating the discarding status of a wire rope
Wire ropes must be replaced immediately if at least one of the following defects (see also DIN 15020-2 and ISO 4309) is detected
during the weekly check:
• More than 6 wire breaks over a length of 3.9 cm or more than 13 wire breaks over a length of 19.5 cm
• Reduction of the outer diameter at one point to less than 5.9 mm
• Severe rust formation on the surface or inside
• Heat damage (recognisable by tempering colours)
• One of the following types of external damage to wire ropes (DIN 15020):
- corkscrew-like deformation
- birdcaging
- the formation of loops on wires
- flattening as a result of the cable being driven over
- kinks
- buckling
Lubricating the wire rope
• Make sure that the load chain is lubricated over its entire length, including the part of the chain in the housing of the hoist.
• In case of a constant lifting path of the chain, the change-over area from lifting to lowering movement must be carefully checked.
Use simple multi-purpose oil or grease for lubrication. Molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) or PTFE containing
lubricants are not to be used.
• During lubrication, the wear condition of the wire rope must also be checked.
Maintenance of the rope drive
The rope drive is almost maintenance-free. Regular lubrication of the wire rope gives the rope drive sufficient lubrication, which
significantly increases the life time. The drive capacity of the rope drive is not influenced by correct lubrication.
Maintenance Of Gearbox
The gear is provided with a permanent lubrication and is practically maintenance-free. Service is therefore restricted to checking the oil
level and checking for oil losses.
Servicing of motor and motor brake
The motor is maintenance-free under normal conditions, and it does not require any special inspection. Under more difficult conditions,
make sure that sufficient volume of air is provided to the motor at all times. For this, the unit must be regularly cleaned.
The motor brake is maintenance-free.
ATTENTION: Do not allow the brake friction pads to come into contact with lubricant or similar.
General maintenance of continuous winch
In particular check following parts:
• Threaded connections in general
Check all nuts, screws and locking devices for tightness.
Repairs may only be carried out by authorized specialist workshops that use original Yale spare parts.
CMCO Industrial Products does not accept liability for damages resulting from the use of non-original parts or alterations and
modifications made to the devices delivered by CMCO Industrial Products.
What is more, CMCO Industrial Products GmbH does not accept any liability and warranty for damages and operational faults
that occur due to the non-observance of this operating instructions manual.

ISPOSAL
Observe the following for transporting the unit:
• Do not drop or throw the unit, always deposit it carefully.
• Do not bend control switch cables and power supply cables.
• Wire ropes must be transported in a way to avoid knotting and formation of loops (e.g. on a reel).
• Use suitable transport means. These depend on the local conditions.
Observe the following for storing or temporarily taking the unit out of service:
• Store the unit at a clean and dry place where there is no frost.
• Protect the unit (including all attached parts) against contamination, humidity and damage by means of a suitable cover.
• Do not bend control switch cables and power supply cables.
• Protect the rope against corrosion by greasing.
If the unit is to be used again after it has been taken out of service, it must first be inspected again by a competent person.
Disposal:
After taking the unit out of service, recycle or dispose of the parts of the unit in accordance with the legal regulations.
