Important Safety Information Read and Follow

A visual periodic inspection for cracks, nicks, wear, gouges and deformation as part of a comprehensive documented inspection program, should be conducted by trained personnel in compliance with the schedule in ASME B30.10.
For hooks used in frequent load cycles, pulsating loads, or severe duty as defined by ASME B30.10, the hook and threads should be periodically inspected by Magnetic Particle or Dye Penetrant (Note: Some disassembly may be required).
Never use a hook whose throat opening has been increased 5%, not to exceed 1/4″,(6mm) or shows any visible apparent bend or twist from the plane of the unbent hook, or is in any other way distorted or bent. NOTE: A latch will not work properly on a hook with a bent or worn tip.
Never use a hook that is worn beyond the limits shown in Figure 1.
Remove from service any hook with a crack, nick, or gouge. Hooks with a nick, or gouge shall be repaired by grinding lengthwise, following the contour of the hook, provided that the reduced dimension is within the limits shown in Figure 1. Contact Crosby Engineering to evaluate any crack.
Never repair, alter, rework, or reshape a hook by welding, heating, burning, or bending.
Never side load, back load or tip load a hook. Side loading, back loading and tip loading are conditions that damage and reduce the capacity of the hook (See Figure 2).
S-1326A can be used for limited rotations under load (infrequent, noncontinuous).
Efficiency of synthetic sling material may be reduced when used in eye or bowl of hook.
Always make sure the hook supports the load (See Figure 3). Do not use hook tip for lifting (See Figure 4).
