HOIST SAFETY IS UP TO YOU...
CHOOSE THE RIGHT HOIST FOR
THE JOB...
Choose a hoist with the capacity for the job.
Know the capacities of your hoists and the
weight of your loads.
Then match them.
The application, the size and type of load,
the attachments to be used and the period
of use must also be taken into consideration
in selecting the right hoist for the job.
Remember, the hoist was designed to ease
our burden and carelessness not only endangers
the operator, but in many cases, a valuable load.
INSPECT
All hoists should be visually inspected before
use, in addition to regular, periodic maintenance
inspections.
Inspect hoists for operations warning notices
and legibility.
Deficiencies should be noted and brought to the
attention of supervisors. Be sure defective hoists
are tagged and taken out of service until repairs are made.
Under no circumstances should you operate a malfunctioning hoist.
Check for gouged, twisted, distorted links
and foreign material. Do not operate hoists
with twisted, kinked, or damaged chain links.
Load chain should be properly lubricated.
Hooks that are bent, worn, or whose
openings are enlarged beyond normal throat
opening should not be used. If latch does not
engage throat opening of hook, hoist should
be taken out of service.
Chains should be checked for deposits of
foreign material which may be carried into
the hoist mechanism.
Check brake for evidence of slippage
under load.
DO NOT LIFT MORE THAN RATED LOAD.
DO OPERATE WITH MANUAL POWER ONLY (ONE OPERATOR)
DO NOT OPERATE DAMAGED OR MALFUNCTIONING HOIST.
DO NOT OPERATE WITH TWISTED, KINKED, OR DAMAGED CHAIN.
DO NOT PULL AT AN ANGLE. BE SURE HOIST AND LOAD ARE
IN A STRAIGHT LINE.
DO NOT USE LOAD CHAIN AS A SLING.
USE HOIST PROPERLY
Be sure hoist is solidly held in the uppermost
part of the support hook arc.
Be sure hoist and load are in a straight line.
Do not pull at an angle.
Be sure load is hooked securely. Do not tip load
the hook. Do not load hook latch. Hook latch
is to prevent detachment of load under slack
chain conditions only.
Do not operate with hoist head resting against
any object. Lift the load gently. Do not jerk it.
PRACTICE CAUTION ALWAYS
Do not lift co-workers with a hoist.
Make sure everyone is clear of the load when you lift.
Do not remove or obscure operational warning notices.
OPERATOR SERVICE
CLEANING
Hoists should be kept clean and free of dust, dirt, moisture, etc.,
which will in any way affect the operation or safety of the equipment.
LUBRICATION
Chain should be properly lubricated.
AFTER REPAIRS
Carefully operate the hoist before returning it to full service.
DO NOT LIFT PEOPLE OR LOADS OVER PEOPLE
VIOLATIONS OF ANY OF THE WARNINGS LISTED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY TO THE OPERATOR
OR NEARBY PERSONNEL BY NATURE OF RELEASED LOAD OR BROKEN HOIST COMPONENTS.

4P/N 10001646 Rev. AA
June 2015
Improper operation of a hoist can create a potentially
hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result
in death, or serious injury. To avoid such a potentially
hazardous situation, the operator shall:
1. NOT operate a malfunctioning or unusually performing hoist.
2. NOT operate the hoist until you have thoroughly read and
understood this manual.
3. NOT operate a hoist which has been modified.
4. NOT lift or pull more than rated load for the hoist.
5. NOT use damaged hoist or hoist that is Not working properly.
6. NOT use hoist with twisted, kinked, damaged,

the hoist.
13. NOT allow the hoist to be subjected to sharp contact with
other hoists, structures, or objects through misuse.
14. NOT adjust or repair the hoist unless qualified to perform
such adjustments or repairs.
The hoists are intended for general industrial use
for moving loads within their load ratings. Prior
to installation and operation, the user should
review the application for abnormal environmental
or handling conditions.
The following applies for all models with integrated trolleys
(YLITP/YLITG):
Loads must not be turned in normal operation, since the
trolley has not been designed for this purpose and the
wheel flanges may be pressed against the beam flange
(danger of spark formation!). If loads must be turned in
normal operation, an anti-twist swivel must be used or the
manufacturer must be consulted.
1. Enlarging the adjusted trolley width, e.g. to enable the trolley to
negotiate smaller curve radii, is forbidden.
2. Only one load lifting attachment may be suspended in the load
hook of the hoist.
ATTENTION: The load lifting attachment must also be suitable
for the ATEX area.
3. Never reach into moving parts.
4. Do not allow the unit to fall from a large height. Always place it
properly on the ground.
5. The unit may be used in potentially explosive atmospheres
(note identification!).

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
(CONTINUED)
MOVING HAZARDOUS LOADS
The hoists are not recommended for lifting materials that could
cause widespread damage if dropped. The lifting
or moving of materials that could explode or cause
chemical or radioactive contamination requires fail-safe,
redundant supporting devices that are not incorporated
into these hoists.
TEMPERATURE LIMITS IN EXPLOSIVE
ATMOSPHERES AND DUSTS
In order to determine the maximum surface temperature,
several tests have been performed with nominal load under
extreme conditions. The maximum surface temperature has
been determined at a room temperature of 68°F (20°C) to 72°F
(22°C) without dust deposit and without safety factors!
Based on these tests, the Yalelift range has been classified
in temperature class T4 (275°F/135°C maximum surface
temperature) for gases. The relevant values for dusts can be
found on page 2.
These values refers to a lowering process of up to 10 m without
disruption. For longer lowering processes, e.g. 15 m or more,
breaks must be made for cooling.
The hoist may be used at ambient temperatures between -4°F
(–20 C°) and 104°F (40°C). Consult the manufacturer in the case
of extreme working conditions.
The temperature range refers to -4°F (–20°C) up to 104°F
(40°C). In case of deviating loading or temperature ranges
consult the manufacturer.
Units for operation in areas with potentially explosive
gases/air resp. steam/air atmospheres or inflammable
mist
The temperatures of all equipment, protective systems
and components surfaces which can come into contact
with explosive atmospheres must not exceed the ignition
temperature of the combustible gas or liquid during normal
operation and in the case of malfunctions. However, where it
cannot be excluded that the gas or vapor can be heated to the
temperature of the surface, this surface temperature must not
exceed 80% of the ignition temperature of the gas measured
in °C. This value may only be exceeded in the case of rare
malfunctions.
Units for operation in dust /air atmospheres
In areas, which are explosive by inflammable dusts, the surface
temperature must not exceed 2/3 of the minimum ignition point
in degrees Celsius (°C) of the dust/air mixture. Temperatures
of surfaces, which can be subject to dangerous deposits of
ignitable dusts, must be one safety margin lower than the
minimum ignition temperature of the layer which can possibly
be generated by the respective dust. This requires a safety
margin of 75 K between the minimum ignition point of a dust
deposit (ignition temperature) and the surface temperature of
the unit. If the dust deposit exceeds a thickness of 5 mm, larger
safety margins are required.
Combustion and explosion characteristics of dusts:
Starch / milk powder / gelatine
Ignition temperature 390 °C x 2/3 = 260 °C max. permissible
surface temperature.
Wood / grinding dust
Ignition temperature 290 °C - 75 °C = 215 °C max. permissible
surface temperature.
Classification of the hoists
After intensive testing under extreme conditions the hoist series
Yalelift can be classified for correct operation in the general
industry as follows on page 2. The documents have been
checked by a nominated body and deposited at
TÜV Rheinland Industrie Service GmbH, Haumannplatz 4,
45130 Essen.

SPARK FORMATION
Materials subject to danger of friction and impact
Individual sparks can be generated as a result of frictional
and/or impact processes and, as a consequence, can be the
cause dangers of ignition in gases or impact-sensitive dusts.
Increased danger of ignition may emanate from clashing of
special material pairings. These are non corrosion-resistant
steel or cast iron against magnesium or pertinent alloys. This
applies especially in case of rust (e.g. surface rust).
Especially at the friction points of the chain and load hook
rust (surface rust) may occur. For correct operation of the
product it must therefore be ensured that there is no rust at
these wear points and that in the application area there are
no material combinations of the above-mentioned aluminium
alloys and steel (exception: antirust steel) at possible friction,
impact or grinding points; thus spark formation by these
material combinations as a result of mechanical impact can be
excluded.
Hand and load chain
Always ensure that the hand chain, load chain and the load are
guided to exclude grinding and/or sliding contact with external
constructions or components. Depending on the degree of
corrosion, the conductive discharge capability of hand chains
and/or load chains can worsen to an effect that it is not
adequate any longer. For operation this means that rusty hand
chains and/or load chains must no longer be used.
Attention: The user has to operate the unit to avoid sparking from the
hand chain as well as from the load chain. YLITP/YLITG models must
always be operated from below.
For additional safety and to avoid sparking by impact or friction
during operation, the units are equipped with stainless steel
hand chains.
Units have copper-plated top and bottom hooks and are fitted
with stainless steel load chain.
Trolleys are always provided with buffer and solid bronze
wheels. Geared trolleys are equipped with stainless steel hand
chain.
Attachment points
Attachment points have to be selected to ensure that the
expected forces can be safely absorbed. The unit must align
freely under load in order to avoid impermissible additional
loading.
STATIC ELECTRICITY
In order to avoid electrostatic charging on plastic parts, the
user should wear suitable protective clothing, e. g. conductive
footwear, clothes and gloves. It is also advised that the product
is used on a conductive floor.
Cleaning only with a damp cloth (when cleaning these
components, make sure to apply only materials which do not
allow electrostatic charging).
Special feature of hydrogen (explosion group IIC): Hydrogen
only requires an extremely small energy for ignition. For this
reason, we recommend that prior to application of the unit a
release measurement be carried out. The spark for ignition may
be generated electrostatically or mechanically by handling of a
tool, for example.

Yale Yalelift 360™ ATEX hand chain hoists are highly
versatile materials handling equipment that can be used to
effectively lift loads. The frame and covers are made from steel
stampings. Internal gears are made of high grade, heat treated
steel. Shielded ball bearings or bushings support the heat treated
steel liftwheel. Latch type, forged steel upper and lower hooks are
standard. A dry type friction brake that does not include pawls and
ratchet found in similar hoists provides positive load control and will
suspend the load at any point.
Hoists with load ratings of ¼, ½, 1, 1½, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 & 12 ton
are available and this manual applies to all of these units. Standard
lift is 10 feet. Hoists with longer lifts are available on a special, per
order basis. Stainless steel hand chain is provided with a drop that is
1 foot less than the lift of the hoist.
Yale Yalelift 360™ ATEX hand chain hoists are built in accordance
with the specifications contained herein and at the time of
manufacture complies with our interpretation of the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Standard B30.16,
“Overhead Hoists.” Copies of this standard can be obtained from
ASME Order Department, 22 Law Drive, Box 2300, Fairfield, NJ
07007-2300, USA.
This manual contains important information to help you properly
install, operate and maintain your hoist for maximum performance,
economy and safety.
Please study its contents thoroughly before putting your hoist
into operation. By practicing correct operating procedures and by
carrying out the recommended preventive maintenance suggestions,
you will be assured of long, dependable and safe service.
After you have completely familiarized yourself with the contents
of this manual, we recommend that you carefully file it for future
reference.
REPAIR/REPLACEMENT POLICY
All Yale Yalelift 360™ ATEX hand chain hoists are inspected and
performance tested prior to shipment. If any properly maintained
hoist develops a performance problem, within one one year of
shipment, due to a material or workmanship defect, as verified by
Columbus McKinnon, repair or replacement of the unit will be made
to the original purchaser without charge. This repair/ replacement
policy applies only to Yale Yalelift 360™ ATEX hand chain hoists
installed, maintained and operated as outlined in this manual,
and specifically excludes hoists subject to normal wear, abuse,
improper installation, improper or inadequate maintenance, hostile
environmental effects and unauthorized repairs/modifications.
We reserve the right to change materials or design if, in our
opinion, such changes will improve our product. Abuse, repair
by an unauthorized person, or use of replacement parts not
supplied by Columbus McKinnon voids the guarantee and could
lead to dangerous operation. For full terms of sale, see sales order
acknowledgement. Also, refer to the back cover for Limitations of
Warranties, Remedies and Damages, and Indemnification and Safe
Operation.
UNPACKING
After opening the carton, the hoist should be carefully inspected
for damage which may have occurred during shipment or handling.
Check the hoist frame for dents or cracks and inspect the load chain
for nicks and gouges. If shipping damage has occurred, refer to the
packing list envelope on the carton for claim procedure.
Operating a unit with obvious external damage may cause load
to drop and that may result in personal injury and/or property
damage.
TO AVOID INJURY:
Carefully check unit for external damage prior to installation.
The unit must only be assembled in atmospheres without an
explosion hazard, since it cannot be excluded that during
assembly spark formation caused by handling of tools may occur.
Non-sparking explosion-protected tools must be used.
It is recommended that a verification measurement be carried out!
Attaching the hoist to an inadequate support may allow the hoist
and load to fall and cause injury and/or property damage.
TO AVOID INJURY:
Make sure the structure has sufficient strength to hold several
times the hoist and its rated load.
INSTALLATION
Before installing the hoist:
1. Determine the weight of the load that is to be lifted or moved
and make sure it does not exceed the rated load of the hoist.
2. Make sure the support or sling to which the upper hook is
attached is strong enough to hold several times the weight of
the load to be lifted or moved. Be sure the hoist is solidly held
in the uppermost part of the upper hook and the latch is closed
and not in contact with the support or sling.
3. The area in which the hoist is installed must provide sufficient
room for:
– The operator to operate the hand chain.
– The operator and other personnel to stand clear of the load
at all times.
– Firm footing for the operator.
– Clearance between the hoist frame and any object.
– The frame to be free to swivel on the upper hook.
GENERAL INFORMATION

9P/N 10001646 Rev. AA
June 2015
After mounting and before placing in service, check the hoist
for proper operation. To operate the hoist, pull on the hand chain
as indicated below.
Operate the hoist with no load and then a light load of approximately
50 pounds per load-supporting parts of chain, to make sure it
operates properly and the brake holds the load when the hand
chain is released, then operate with a rated load as shown on the
nameplate.
GENERAL
1. The hoist must always be rigged to lift in a straight line from hook
to hook. The hoist must always be free to swivel on the upper
hook. Under no condition should the hoist frame be allowed to
bear on any support when in use, as this would cause bending of
the hook or frame and damage the unit.
2. When preparing to lift or move a load, be sure that the
attachments to both hooks are firmly seated in the saddles
of the hooks. Avoid off center loading of any kind especially
loading on the tip of the hook. Also, observe that the chain hangs
straight (without twist) from hoist to lower hook. The lower hook
should be free to swivel as well.
3. When lifting, raise the load only enough to clear the floor or
support, and check to be sure brake will hold load and that
attachments to the load are firmly seated. Continue the lift
only after you are assured the load is free of all obstructions.
4. Do not load beyond the rated capacity of the hoist. Rated
capacity can be achieved with the following hand chain pulls:

Since these hand chain pulls can easily be applied by one person,
under no circumstances should more than one person operate the
hoist hand chain.
This hoist is equipped with a load limiting device. The presence
of this device does not authorize the application of overloads.
Always select a hoist whose load rating is in excess of the load
to be handled. If the handwheel slips while operating, reduce load
or use correct capacity hoist.
NOTE:
The load limiting device incorporated in this hoist is effective only
when the overload is being lifted or pulled through the operation
of the handwheel. It will not protect against externally applied
overloads.
5. Do not wrap load chain around the load or bring the load in
contact with the hoist. Doing this will result in the loss of the
swivel effect of the hook which could mean twisted chain and
a jammed liftwheel. The chain could be damaged at the hook.
6. Stand clear of all loads and avoid moving a load over the heads of
other personnel. Warn personnel of your intention to move
a load in their area.
7. Do not leave the load in the air unattended.
8. Do not lower the hook to a point where the chain becomes
taut between the liftwheel and loose end connector
9. Do not run the lower hook block into the hoist frame. Frame
and/or chain guide damage may result.
10. The hoist has been designed for manual operation only.
11. Do not use this or any other overhead materials handling
equipment for lifting persons.
12. Do not allow the load to bear against the hook latch. The latch
is to help maintain the hook in position while the chain is slack
before taking up slack chain.
13. Never operate the hoist when flammable materials or vapors are
present. Sharp contact between metal parts can produce sparks
that can cause a fire or explosion.
14. STAY ALERT! Watch what you are doing and use common
sense. Do not use the hoist when you are tired, distracted
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication causing
diminished control.
If not used as directed, hoist may cause injury.
TO AVOID INJURY:
Use only as directed below. Read all instructions before
operating the Yale Yalelift 360™ ATEX hand chain hoist.
Power operation may result in structural damage or premature
wear that may cause a part to break and allow the load to fall.
TO AVOID INJURY:
Operate Yale Yalelift 360™ ATEX hand chain hoist
using hand power only.
Allowing the load to bear against the hook latch and/or hook tip
can result in loss of load.
TO AVOID INJURY:
Do not allow the load to bear against the hook latch and/or hook
tip. Apply load to hook bowl or saddle only.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: The minimum load must be 10% of the rated load

MAINTENANCE
INSPECTION
To maintain continuous and satisfactory operation, a regular
inspection procedure must be initiated so that worn or damaged
parts can be replaced before they become unsafe. The intervals of
inspection must be determined by the individual application and are
based upon the type of service to which the hoist will be subjected.
The inspection of hoists is divided into two general classifications
designated as “frequent” and “periodic.”
Frequent Inspections:
These inspections are visual examinations by the operator or other
designated personnel. The frequent inspections are to be performed
daily and shall include the following items (no records required):
a. Braking mechanisms for evidence of slippage daily.
b. Load Chain for lubricant, wear, damaged links or foreign
material-daily (See pages 11, 12 & to 15).
c. Cracks or damage to housing, abnormal noises or operation,
damaged hooks (see Hook Inspection below).
d. All capacity and warning labels legible and present.
Any deficiencies noted are to be corrected before the hoist
is returned to service.
Periodic Inspections:
These are inspections by an appointed person who makes records
of apparent external conditions to provide the basis for a continuing
evaluation. For normal service, the periodic inspections are to be
performed yearly and for heavy service, the periodic inspections
are to be performed semi-annually.
Due to the construction of the hoist, it will be necessary to partially
disassemble the unit to perform the periodic inspections. The
periodic inspections are to include those items listed under frequent
inspections as well as the following:
a. Chain for excessive wear or stretch (See pages 11 to 12).
b. Worn, cracked or distorted parts such as hook blocks, hand
chain guides, chain guide, stripper, loose end connector, shafts,
gears, bushings and bearings.
c. Inspect for wear on the tip of the driver, stops on handwheel
and pockets of the liftwheel and handwheel.
d. Loose or missing screws, nuts, pins or cotter pins.
e. Inspect brake components for worn, glazed or contaminated
brake disc and scoring of the brake hub and brake plate. If the
thickness of the friction washer is less than 1/32 inch, it should
be replaced.
f. Replace missing or damaged warning labels.
g. Corroded, stretched or broken brake spring.
h. Hooks-dye penetrant, magnetic particle or other suitable crack-
detecting inspections should be performed at least once a year,
if external conditions indicate there has been unusual usage.
Any deficiencies noted are to be corrected before the hoist is
returned to service. Also, the external conditions may show the need
for more detailed inspection which, in turn, may require the use of
nondestructive-type testing.
Any parts that are deemed unserviceable are to be replaced with new
Columbus McKinnon parts before the unit is returned to service. It is
very important that the unserviceable parts be destroyed to prevent
possible future use as a repair item and properly disposed of.
Hook Inspection
Hooks damaged from chemicals, deformation or cracks, or that have
a twist, excessive opening or seat wear, must be replaced. Also,
hooks that are opened to the extent that the latch does not engage
the tip must be replaced. Any hook that is twisted or has excessive
throat opening indicated abuse or overloading of the hoist. Other
load sustaining parts should be inspected for damage.
Check to assure the latch is not damaged or bent and that it operates
properly. It should have sufficient spring pressure to keep it tightly
against the tip of the hook and allow it to spring back to the tip when
released. If the latch does not operate properly, replace the latch.
LOAD CHAIN
Chain should feed smoothly into and away from the hoist. If chain
binds, jumps or is noisy, first clean and lubricate it (See next page). If
trouble persists, inspect chain and mating parts for wear, distortion
or other damage.
Chain Inspection
First clean chain with a non-caustic/non-acid type solvent and make
a link by link inspection for nicks, gouges, twisted links, weld spatter,
corrosion pits, striations (minute parallel lines), cracks in weld areas,
wear and stretching. Chain with any one of these defects must be
replaced.
Slack the portion of the chain that normally passes over the
liftwheel. Examine the interlink area for the point of maximum wear
(polishing). Measure and record the stock diameter at this point of
the link. Then measure stock diameter in the same area on the link
that does not pass over the liftwheel (use the link adjacent to the
loose end connector
for this purpose).
Compare these two
measurements. If the
stock diameter of the
worn link is 0.010 inch,
or more, less than the
stock diameter of the
unworn link, the chain
must be replaced.
TROLLEY (YLITP/YLITG MODELS)
Check to make sure the side plates are parallel to each other.
Also, 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.
Check the travel path before starting work to allow for unit to run
faultless on the beam. Any existing obstacles must be removed.
In addition, check the correct fastening and position of the end stops.

Hooks shall swivel freely under no load conditions. If there is any
binding, the hooks must be replaced. Also, replace hook if opening
is greater than “C” or if the thickness at “B”, “N”, “W”, or “V” is less
than the dimensions listed in the chart (see Figure 3).

12 P/N 10001646 Rev. AA
June 2015
Using other than Columbus McKinnon supplied load chain may
cause the chain to jam in the hoist and/or allow the chain to break
and the load to drop.
TO AVOID INJURY:
Due to size requirements and physical properties, use only
Columbus McKinnon supplied load chain in the Yale Yalelift 360™
ATEX hand chain hoist.
Used motor oils contain known carcinogenic materials.
TO AVOID INJURY:
Never use used motor oils as a chain lubricant. Only use Lubriplate®
Bar and Chain Oil 10-R as a lubricant for the load chain.
Worn chain can be an indication of worn hoist components. For
this reason, the hoist’s chain guide, stripper and liftwheel should be
examined for wear and replaced as necessary when replacing worn
chain (See “DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY”).
Also, the load chain is specially heat treated and hardened and
should never be repaired.
IMPORTANT: Do not use replaced chain for other purposes such
as lifting or pulling. Load chain may break suddenly without visual
deformation. For this reason, cut replaced chain into short lengths to
prevent use and then dispose of it.
NOTE: The above method of inspecting load chain can also be used
to inspect the hand chain for stretch and wear.
Chain Lubrication
A small amount of lubricant will greatly increase the life of load chain.
Do not allow the chain to run dry. Keep it clean and lubricate at
regular intervals with Lubriplate®Bar and Chain Oil 10-R (Fiske Bros.
Refining Co.) or equal lubricant. Normally, weekly lubrication and
cleaning is satisfactory, but under hot and dirty conditions, it may
be necessary to clean the chain at least once a day and lubricate it
several times between cleanings.
When lubricating the chain, apply sufficient lubricant to obtain
natural run-off and full coverage, especially in the interlink area.
Also check chain for stretch and wear using a vernier caliper as
shown in Figure 5. Select an unused, unstretched section of chain
(usually at the loose end) and measure and record the length over 11
chain links (pitches). Measure and record the same length on a worn
section of chain. If the result (amount of stretch and wear) is greater
than 0.145 inch, the chain must be replaced.
Figure 5 - Chain Inspection
Use only a “Knife-Edge” caliper to eliminate the possibility of a false
reading by not measuring full pitch length.
LUBRICATION
Hoist normally requires no additional lubrication except when it had
been disassembled for cleaning or repairs.
IMPORTANT: Brake is designed to operate dry. Do not use any
grease or lubricant on the braking surfaces. When lubricating parts
adjacent to the brake, do not use an excessive amount of lubricant
which could seep onto the brake surfaces.
MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED)
If hoist is disassembled for service, repair or inspection, remove and
clean existing grease from unit and replace with approximately 1
oz. of Poliplex 2 (Century Lubricants Co.) grease or equal lubricant
to the exterior surface of the drive shaft, gears, internal thread of
brake hub, surface of liftwheel bushings (1/2 ton unit), bushings in
the gear side plate and gear cover, internal and external surfaces of
handwheel bushings and rim of handwheel cover.
IMPORTANT: To assure long life and top performance, be sure to
lubricate the various parts of the hoist using the lubricants specified
above. If desired, these lubricants can be purchased from Columbus
McKinnon (See Figure 7, page 15).
REPLACING LOAD CHAIN
To replace the load chain, remove the lower hook block from the
chain. Disconnect the chain from the loose end connector and
operate the hoist in the lowering direction to run the chain out of the
hoist. Feed a length of soft wire up and over the liftwheel. Attach
the wire to the new load chain so that the chain will be entering the
center of the hoist frame. Position the chain so that the first link
to engage the liftwheel is an upstanding link and the weld on all
upstanding links will be away from the liftwheel. Pull on the wire until
the chain engages the liftwheel. Rotate the handwheel until the chain
comes out on the loose side of the hoist. Attach the chain to the
loose end connector and attach the lower hook block assembly to
the chain so that the lower hook is directly below the upper hook.
DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY
The parts list and exploded view on pages 15 to 27 show the general
arrangement and name of the parts of the Yale Yalelift 360™ ATEX
hand chain hoist. These should be used when disassembling and
reassembling the hoists so that all parts are properly installed.
1. To inspect or replace parts of the load brake system, it is
necessary to partially disassemble the hoist. Remove the hand
chain wheel cover and slide it down the hand chain . Lift the hand
chain out of the hand chain wheel pockets. Remove the cotter
pin, castle nut and washer from the drive shaft. Remove hand
chain wheel by turning hand chain wheel counter clockwise.
Inspect the friction surface of the brake hub and replace it if
the surface excessively scored. (see page 13, “HANDWHEEL
OVERLOAD CLUTCH ASSEMBLY”). Slide front brake disc, ratchet
disc assembly and rear brake disc from pressure disk. Remove
retaining ring and remove pressure disc by turning counter
clockwise. Inspect both brake discs and replace if excessive wear,
scoring, glazing or contamination is found. If brake discs are worn
down to the following thickness, replacement is required:
Capacity Thickness Min.
in. (mm)
¼, ½, 1, 1½ & 2 .043 (1.09)
3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 & 12 .063 (1.60)
Inspect ratchet disc assembly and pressure disc
friction surfaces, replace if excessively scored.
After the brake discs are inspected or replaced, reassemble
the hoist in reverse to the order given above.
Using any grease or lubricant on the braking surfaces will cause
brake slippage and loss of load control which may result in injury
and/or property damage.
TO AVOID INJURY:
Do not use any grease or lubricant on braking surfaces. The brake is
designed to operate dry.

or damaged, reassemble the hoist in reverse to the order given
above. If the liftwheel is to be replaced, continue to disassemble
the hoist.
NOTE: Two points of caution to be observed in disassembly and
assembly of the gears:
a. Loose rollers are used in various locations in some units.
Care must be taken so as to not lose or misplace these.
b. For proper operation, the correct number of rollers must
be installed at the rotating points. Applying grease to the
rollers will help hold them in position during assembly.
Remove the gear cover, end covers and gears. Remove drive
shaft by sliding it out and remove locking ring. Remove washer
and liftwheel gear. Remove the liftwheel and replace it. The
liftwheel may require pressing out of liftwheel bearings. Check
the gears and other parts for excessive wear, cracks and
distortion. Replace parts as necessary and then reassemble the
unit in reverse to the order in which it was disassembled. Install
the load chain per manual section “REPLACING LOAD CHAIN”,
on previous page. After the hoist is completely reassembled, it
must be tested for proper operation (See “TESTING”, page 15).
3. HANDWHEEL OVERLOAD CLUTCH ASSEMBLY:
NOTE: Slip clutch is an option on Yale Yalelift 360™ ATEX hoist (not standard)
To inspect or replace handwheel overload clutch assembly,
it is necessary to partially disassemble the hoist. Remove the
handwheel cap and the handwheel cover support. Lift off the
handwheel cover and slide it down the hand chain. Lift the hand
chain out of the handwheel pockets. Remove cotter pin,
castle nut and washer from the drive shaft. Remove handwheel
overload clutch assembly by turning handwheel counter
clockwise. Use spanner socket tool (available from Columbus
McKinnon) to remove groove nut from handwheel brake hub.
Slide Belleville spring washer, pressure plate front brake disc,
handwheel and rear brake disc from handwheel brake hub.
Inspect both brake discs and replace if excessive wear, scoring,
glazing or contamination is found. If brake disc is worn down
to the following thickness, replacement is required:

friction surfaces, replace if excessively scored.
Replace parts as necessary and then reassemble the unit
in reverse to the order in which it was disassembled. Once
the handwheel overload clutch is assembled, tighten/torque
the groove nut with the spanner socket tool (available from
Columbus McKinnon).
The handwheel overload clutch should be adjusted to
approximately 125% of rated capacity. This setting must be
checked with the handwheel overload clutch assembled into
the hoist (See “ADJUSTMENT OF LOAD LIMITER”).
4. To inspect or replace the pawl or pawl spring, it is necessary
to partially disassemble the hoist. Remove the hand chain wheel
cover and slide it down the hand chain. Lift the hand chain out of
the hand chain wheel pockets. Remove the cotter pin, castle nut

After the hoist is completely reassembled, it must be tested for
proper operation (See “TESTING”, page 15).
5. To replace hook latch, grind off head of rivet and drive it out.
Remove and discard the latch and spring. Attach the new latch
and spring using the roll pin provided in the latch kit.
ADJUSTMENT OF LOAD LIMITER
NOTE: Slip clutch is an option on Yale Yalelift 360™ ATEX hoist (not standard)
To adjust the load limiter:
1. Remove the hoist from the supporting structure and lay it on
a flat working surface with the handwheel facing up.
2. Remove the three screws securing the plastic center cap and
remove the cap from the handwheel cover.
3. Block the load chain by inserting a screwdriver or pin through the
load chain just below the hoist frame. Operate the handwheel in
the up direction to remove the slack from the load chain, closing
and locking the brake.
4. Change the adjustment of the load limiter by tightening
the groove nut with the spanner socket tool (available from
Columbus McKinnon.) to increase the setting or by loosening the
groove nut to decrease the setting.
5. Perform required load tests after adjustment. (See “TESTING”,
page 15). Revise the adjustment if necessary. NOTE: The hoist
should not be able to lift 150% of the rated capacity load if the
load limiter has been properly adjusted.

YALELIFT 360™ ATEX ITP/ITG, UP TO 5 TON
The trolleys are built to fit beam range A or B which is indicated on
the identity plate. Before installation, make sure that the track beam
width is within this beam range.
The further procedure for assembly of the unit on the track beams
depends on whether the track beam has an accessible open end
or not. If this is the case, it is recommended that the unit be pre-
assembled on the ground and then be pushed onto the open end of
the beam.
1. Unscrew locking nuts and hexagonal nuts from the suspension
bolt and remove both side plates from the trolley.
2. Measure flange width “b” of the track beam.
3. Adjust or pre-adjust dimension “B” between the outer flanges of
the round nuts on the four free threaded ends of the suspension
bolts. Make sure that the four drill holes in the round nuts face
outwards. Select dimension “B” between the outer flanges of
the round nuts on the suspension bolts in such a way that it
corresponds to flange width “b” plus 4 mm. Ensure that the
suspension bar is centered between the round nuts.
4. Assembly of one side plate: The roll pins fitted to the side plate
must be seated in one of the four drill holes of the round nuts.
If necessary the position of the round nuts must be slightly re-
adjusted.
5. Position the washer and tighten the hexagonal nuts. Finally
screw on the locking nuts by hand and tighten by ¼ to ½
rotation.
ATTENTION: The locking nuts must always be fitted!
6. Place the second side plate onto the suspension bolts without
tightening. Then screw on washers, hexagonal nuts and locking
nuts without tightening to facilitate assembly.
7. Place the entire pre-assembled unit onto the beam.
ATTENTION: For Yalelift ITG models, pay attention to the
position of the gear drive.
8. Insert the roll pins driven into the second side plate in one of the
appropriate four drill holes of the round nuts. If necessary the
round nuts must be slightly re-adjusted.
9. Tighten the hexagonal nuts on the second side plate. Finally
screw on the locking nuts by hand and tighten by ¼ to ½
rotation.
ATTENTION: The locking nuts must always be fitted!
10. Check the fitted unit:
a) The lateral play dimension “A” must not exceed 2mm between
the wheel flange and the outer edge of the beam.
b) The suspension bar must be positioned centrally between the
side plates.
c) All nuts and locking nuts must be firmly tightened.
YALELIFT 360™ ATEX ITG 5 & 6 TON
1. Measure the flange width of the beam.
2. Evenly distribute the spacer sleeves and spacer washers
on both sides of the suspension bolt accordingly. A clearance
("A") of 2mm between the wheel flange and the beam flange
must be maintained (inner dimension = flange width + 4mm).
3. After adjustment of the inner dimension, evenly distribute the
remaining spacer sleeves and spacer washers on the outside of
the side plates on the suspension bolt. In each case, at least 3
spacer washers and 1 spacer sleeve must be mounted between
the side plates and the castle nut.
Tip: For easier assembly, tighten one side plate. Observe the
required position of the drive side. Only slide on the other side
plate without tightening.
4. Then lift the entire unit onto the track beam and firmly tighten all
castle nuts.
5. Secure all castle nuts with cotter pins.
ATTENTION: A trolley must never be used on a beam with a flange
width that exceeds the maximum adjustable width of the trolley
(observe total clearance of 5 mm, depends on model) or with a
profile which does not correspond to the profile the trolley has been
designed for.
SHORTEN OR EXTEND THE HAND CHAIN
Adjust the length of the hand chain so that the distance of the lower
end to the floor is between 20 to 40 in. (500 to 1000mm).
NOTE: For safety reasons, hand chain links may only be used once.
1. Look for the non-welded link of the hand chain, bend to open
and discard it.
2. Shorten or extend the chain to the required length.
ATTENTION: Always remove or add an even number of chain links.
3. 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: Do not twist hand chains while fitting.

*** See page 19 for ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS.
Figure 7 - Recommended Lubrication Schedule
LUBRICATION
If hoist is disassembled for service, repair or inspection, remove
and clean existing grease from unit and replace with approximately
1 oz. of Poliplex 2 (Century Lubricants Co.) grease or equal lubricant
to the exterior surface of the drive shaft, gears, internal thread
of brake hub, surface of liftwheel bushings (1/2 ton unit), bushings
in the gear side plate and gear cover, internal and external surfaces
of handwheel bushings and rim of handwheel cover.
GEARS
The gears do not have to be timed and as a result, they do not have
to be oriented in a certain position during assembly. However, for
proper operation of the ¼, ½, 1, 1½, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12 ton
units, one gear marked “A” and one gear marked “B” must be used.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
In addition to the inspection procedures, a preventative maintenance
program should be established to prolong the useful life of the hoist
and maintain its dependability and continued safe use. The program
should include the periodic inspections with particular attention
being paid to the lubrication of various components using the
recommended lubricants (See Figure 7).
TESTING
OPERATIONAL TEST: Prior to initial use, all repaired or used hoists
that have not been operated for the previous 12 months shall be
tested by the user for proper operation.
Test the unit first in the unloaded state and then with a light load
of 50 lbs. times the number of load supporting parts of load chains
to be sure it operates properly and the brake holds the load when
the hand chain is released. A load test is not required.
LOAD TEST: In addition, hoists in which load sustaining parts have
been replaced must be tested with 125% of rated capacity by or
under the direction of a designated person and a written report
prepared for record purposes.
If the hoist was disassembled, Columbus McKinnon recommends
performing a load test and an operational test.
NOTE: Because this hoist is equipped with a load limiting device
occasional slipping of the handchain wheel may occur when testing
with 125 percent of rated load.
NOTE: For additional information on Inspection and Testing
refer to ASME B30.16,“Overhead Hoists”, obtainable from
