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 continuous winches of the Mtrac Mini type are classified in accordance with ISO 4301-1 / DIN 15020 in the FEM Group M3 /
1Bm. This results in a theoretical service lifetime of 400 operating hours under full load.
Basic principles for the calculation of the theoretical remaining service life are given in DGUV Vorschrift 54. 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 DGUV Vorschrift 54, DGUV Vorschrift 54, DGUV
Regel 100-500 and VDE 0113-32/EN 60204-32:2008.
S
AFETY EQUIPMENT
The following safety devices are integrated to guarantee the safety of the Yale devices:
• EMERGENCY Stop
By pressing the EMERGENCY Stop button, the total control is deactivated.
ATTENTION: The device is not free of tension!
Turn the button in the direction of the arrow and pull it to unlock.
• Motor brake
All Yale winches have an electromagnetically ventilated spring action brake, which closes automatically upon releasing the push button
for UP or DOWN movement, as well as in case of a power failure.
• Overload protection
The included slip clutch will be activated if there is an overload.
If the reason is a too big load, the load has to be reduced till WLL. Is the reason a stuck during the upward moving the load has to be
lowered and the obstacle has to be removed.
C
ORRECT OPERATION
Yale continuous winches are provided for material transport and should only be used for this purpose. All other types of use are to be
agreed with the manufacturer and any applicable regulatory authorities.
The wire rope is not stored by the Yale electric winch but transported through it at a constant speed. This means that, the rope length,
i.e. the lifting height is practically unlimited.
If the load capacity of the Yale continuous winch is not sufficient for direct hoisting, it can be increased in accordance with the pulley
block principle.
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.
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 Yale continuous winch may only be hung on the designated hook provided for it.
The Yale continuous winches must be fastened so that the loaded rope is positioned vertically when viewed from any direction.
