Inspection Before Initial Operation; Inspection Before Starting Work - Yale HTP Serie Manual De Instrucciones

• Look for the non-welded link of the hand chain, bend to open and discard it.
• Shorten or extend the chain to the required length.
ATTENTION: Always remove or add an even number of chain links.
• Use a new link to close the loose chain ends by bending it (for extending the hand chain, two
new chain links are required).
ATTENTION: Make sure that hand chains are not twisted while they are fitted.
Fitting the hand chain (model HTG only and models with locking device)
To fit the hand chain, position the slot on the outer edge of the hand chain wheel below the
chain guides. Place one chain link of the endless hand chain vertically into the slot and turn
the hand chain wheel until the chain has passed the chain guides on both sides.
ATTENTION: Do not twist hand chains while fitting.

NSPECTION EFORE
Prior to initial operation, before it is put into operation again and after substantial changes, the
product including the supporting structure must be inspected by a competent person*. The
inspection mainly consists of a visual inspection and a function check. These inspections are
intended to establish that the hoist is in a safe condition, has been set up appropriately and is
ready for operation and that any defects or damage are detected and eliminated, as required.
*Competent persons may be, for example, the maintenance engineers of the manufacturer or
the supplier. However, the company may also assign performance of the inspection to its own
appropriately trained specialist personnel.

NSPECTION EFORE
Before starting work, inspect the unit including the suspension, equipment and supporting
structure for visual defects, e. g. deformations, damage, cracks, wear and corrosion marks.
In addition also check that hoist and/or load are correctly attached.
Inspection of the supporting structure
The supporting structure has to be selected to ensure that it has sufficient stability and the
expected forces can be safely absorbed.
Make sure that no impermissible additional loading may occur as a result of fitting the hoist
(e.g. by side pull).
The selection and calculation of the appropriate supporting structure are the responsibility of
the operating company.
Inspection of the trolley
• The clevis of the load bar must be exactly in the middle between the side plates so that the
side plates are evenly loaded.
• Check the adjustment of the anti-tilt device (only type B), the adjustment of the trolley width
and the correct assembly of the clevis load bar.
• The side plates must be parallel to each other.
• All wheels must be in contact with the beam flange.
ATTENTION: The trolley must never be used on beams with flange widths that exceed
the maximum adjustable width of the trolley.
