1.  Important safety information for assembly and operation 

• Installation and maintenance of Yale endless winches may only be 

carried out by persons who are familiar with this work and have been 
assigned to these tasks by the operating company.

• These persons must know the relevant accident prevention regula-

tions, for example “Winches, lifting and towing devices” (BGV D8), 
“Cranes – Power driven winches and hoists” (EN14492-1), etc. and 
must have received appropriate relevant instructions; furthermore they 
must have read and understood the operating and assembly instruc-
tions of the manufacturer.

• Yale endless winches are only intended for transporting material and 

exclusively approved for this purpose. Any other applications must be 
agreed with the manufacturer and, if applicable, licensing authorities.

• The load capacity indicated on the unit is the maximum working load 

limit (rated load) that must not be exceeded.

• The use of Yale endless winches in areas with an explosion hazard 

is prohibited.

• Yale  endless  winches  may  only  be  used  at  ambient  temperatures 

between -40°C and +70°C.

• Do not lift or transport loads, as long as persons are in the danger 

zone of the load.

• Do not allow personnel to stay or pass under a suspended load.
• A lifted or clamped load must not be left unattended or remain lifted 

or clamped for a longer period of time.

• The operator may start moving the load only after he has checked 

that it has been attached correctly and all persons are clear of the 
danger zone.

• When attaching the unit, the operator must ensure that during opera-

tion of the hoist neither the hoist, the supporting equipment nor the 
load pose a danger to himself or other personnel.

• Fixed or obstructed loads must not be lifted.
• Loads must not be turned during operation. If it is necessary to turn 

loads during operation, anti-twist swivels must be provided and/or the 
manufacturer must be consulted.

• Avoid excessive inching operation by frequent, brief actuation of the 

control switch.

• For lifting the load from the ground, always use the lowest available 

lifting speed. The rope must first be tensioned at this speed; it must 
not be slack when the load is lifted from the ground. If the winch has 
two speeds, the low speed must only be used for short distances.

• It is forbidden to use the hoist for the transportation of persons.
• Welding work on the hook and the rope is strictly forbidden. The rope 

must not be used as earth conductor for welding work.

• Before starting assembly, check all parts for completeness and fault-

less condition.

• Only use perfect Yale endless winches, ropes, electrical cables and 

lifting tackle.

• Only use the original Yale wire rope in appropriate condition. Only use 

common multi-purpose oil or grease for lubricating the winch and wire 
rope. Do not use any lubricants which contain molybdenum disulphide 
(MoS

2

) or PTFE! Using any other wire rope voids all warranty claims 

against Yale Industrial Products.

• Yale endless winches and Yale safety lock systems must only be fas-

tened at the fixing bore holes provided for this purpose.

• Yale endless winches must be fastened in such a way that the loaded 

suspension rope enters vertically from all directions.

• Overloading Yale endless winches is strictly forbidden.
• Inspections or repairs must only be carried out by Yale Industrial Prod-

ucts or by a hoist service company authorised by the manufacturer.

• The electrical connection of Yale endless  winches  and of electrical 

accessories must be carried out by qualified electricians in accord-
ance with EN60204-1 or -32. Inspections and repairs of the electrical 
equipment must only be carried out by qualified electricians or by a 
hoist service company authorised by the manufacturer. 

• Yale Industrial Products does not accept any liability for damage result-

ing from the use of other than the original parts or caused by conversion 
and modification of units supplied by Yale Industrial Products.
