Imported Weld On Hook
Warning and Welding Instructions

To avoid injury:

• Inspect hook before each use.
• Do not exceed the WLL noted on hook
• Do not tip load hook or apply load to hook latch. Latch is provided to retain slack slings and chains only during hook-up.
• Apply load smoothly. Do not jerk or impact load hook.

Operating Instructions

• Inspect hook as noted below before each use.
• Connect load to hook load zone. See diagram for hook load zone. Do not jerk load.
• Do not apply load near hook tip or latch. Note that latch advises “Latch not to carry load”. Make certain latch operates properly and is closed.
• Do not side load hook. Apply load in line with hook.

Hook Inspection
Inspect hook components before each use and periodically as follows:

• Inspect for wear. Discard if worn more than 10% of the original dimension at any location.
• Inspect for distortion. Discard if throat opening is more than 15% of original opening or hook latch does not close properly.
• Inspect for twisting and bending. Discard if bent or twisted more than 10° from the plane of unbent hook.
• See catalog for dimensions.
• Inspect for cracks and excessive corrosion. Discard hooks that display these conditions.
• Inspect for proper operation and engagement of hook latch and closure of hook opening. Also check hook, nut, and screw for security. Replace latch as necessary and correct noted deficiencies before using hook.
