YALE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT POLICY
All Yale RS2 Lever Hoists are inspected and performance
tested prior to shipment. If any properly maintained hoist
develops a performance problem, due to a material or
workmanship defect, as verified by Yale, repair or
replacement of the unit will be made to the original
purchaser without charge. This repair/replacement policy
applies only to 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 non-Yale
replacement parts voids the guarantee and could lead to
dangerous operation. For full Terms of Sale, see Sales
Order Acknowledgment. Also, refer to the back cover for
Limitations of Warranties, Remedies and Damages, and
Indemnification and Safe Operation.
OPTIONS
Load Limiter
®
The Load Limited is a friction device that is designed and
factory calibrated to prevent lifting excessive overloads. An
excessive overload is indicated by lever movement without
corresponding movement of the lower hook or load when the
hoist is operated in the up direction. Should this occur,
operate the lever in the down direction to remove the
overload. Reducing the load to rated capacity or less will
automatically restore normal operation. The Load Limiter
can be ordered as part of a new lever hoist or in kit form that
can be added to units now in service.
Latchlok
®
Hooks
Latchlok hooks are available to replace the standard latch
type hooks. The unique design of the Latchlok hook assures
that it will stay locked until the operator releases it by
depressing the release button. It will not open accidentally-
even if the load chain goes slack. Once opened, it can be
shut with one hand or by the weight of the load when it is
lifted. Latchlok hooks can be supplied with the hoist or it can
be provided in kit form for lever hoists already in service.
Anchor Sling (for 3/4 and 1-1/2 ton units only)
Anchor Sling is an upper hook extender that simplifies
attachment when application or space limitation makes it
impossible to pull in a straight line from hook to hook. A
swiveling hook block is securely anchored to the housing
and the upper hook swivels through a full 360°. Anchor
Sling may be ordered as a feature of your new hoist or in kit
form for simple installation on units now in use.
INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
After removing the hoist from the carton, check it for damage

The RS2 Lever Hoist is designed for operation at ambient
temperatures of 0° to 100° F (-17° to 38° C). It can be used
in any position for pulling a load at an angle, horizontal
pulling or vertical lifting, provided it is rigged to pull in a
straight line from hook to hook and the frame is free to
swivel on the upper hook.
