WARNING

Crosby ELIMINATOR ® Definitions
The Crosby ELIMINATOR ® consists of a bail, hinge bolt, latch pin, and lower
body with cradle slot/slots.
The Crosby ELIMINATOR® incorporates markings forged into the product which
address a QUIC-CHECK® feature:
Deformation Indicators – Two strategically
placed marks on each leg of the bail, which allows for a QUICCHECK®
measurement to determine if the bail opening has changed, thus indicating
abuse or overload. To check, use a measuring device (i.e. tape measure) to
measure the distance between the marks. The marks should align to either an
inch or half-inch increment on the measuring device. If the measurementdoes
not meet criteria, the Crosby ELIMINATOR ® bail should be inspected further
for possible damage.
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 ANSI B30.9. -
Remove from service any Crosby ELIMINATOR ® components with a crack, nick, or gouge. The bail and body of a Crosby ELIMINATOR ® with nick or gouge shall be repaired by a qualified person. The qualified person shall repair by grinding longitudinally following the contour of the forging, provided that the reduced dimension is within the limits shown in (Fig. A).
