UNPACKING INFORMATION
After removing the hoist from the carton, check to
be sure there has been no damage in shipment.
Before cutting the cord ties on multiple-reeved
units, be sure that all strands of chain are straight
with no twist (due to a capsized hook block). If
length of lift is to be modified, follow disassembly
and assembly instructions for correct procedure.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
After mounting and before placing in service,
check the hoist for proper operation. On multi-
reeved units, be sure that all strands of chain are
straight with no twist (due to a capsized hook
block).
The Yale Hand Hoist must always be rigged to lift
in a straight line from hook to hook (see Figure 4).
The hoist must always be free to swivel on the
upper hook. Under no condition should the hoist
be allowed to bear on any support when in use as
this would cause bending of the hook or frame
and damage the unit.
HOOKS
Type of hooks supplied on the Yale Hoists are shown
in Figure 3.
YALE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT POLICY

tested prior to shipment. If any properly maintained
Yale Hoist develops a performance problem due to a
material or workmanship defect, as verified by Yale or
an authorized service station, repair or replacement
of the unit will be made to the original purchaser
