8) INSTALLATION – ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Fit the rope or the part to connect into the hook hole.
Insert one rope or one part for each hook.
Fit the system for hooking the part to connect into the hook seat, pushing the mouth locking system
inwards; the mouth locking system will automatically be restored to the closing position after being fitted
in, as the result of the spring force.
Do not allow the hooking point of the part to connect to be suspended between the hook tip and the mouth
locking device, and check that it fits into the seat.
Make sure that, following connection, the mouth locking system is restored to the rest position.
While connecting, make sure that the hook can freely move and position itself; hence no forcing or
interference should occur, to prevent any lateral force components from being produced.
Do not allow any forces to be released or any loads to be applied to the mouth locking system.
Tensile stress should be checked, to prevent the working force limit (WFL, see Table “A”) from being
exceeded.
9) USING ACCESSORY – GRIP AND HANDLING
The hook is designed to be used in static situations; periodically check tensile stress and the state of
preservation of the parts, according to the Table “Maintenance jobs and inspections”.
10) NONPERMISSIBLE USE
Using the accessory for any purposes other than the purposes it has been designed for, using it under
extremely dangerous conditions and performing poor maintenance may pose a severe hazard to the
safety of the people being exposed and cause severe damage to the working environment, while
affecting the actual serviceability and safety of the product. The precautions mentioned below, which,
obviously enough, cannot cover the whole spectrum of potential “misuses” of the accessory, should be
“reasonably” deemed to be the most common steps to take. Therefore:
• DO NOT use the accessory for lifting purposes;
• DO NOT use the accessory for safety slings;
• DO NOT connect the accessory to any apparatus which does not match its specifications in
terms of size, temperature, hook-up point and shape;
• DO NOT stretch any apparatus that may change its static configuration, centre of gravity or
chemical and physical state;
• DO NOT use the accessory to lift or carry people or animals;
• DO NOT use the accessory to pull restrained loads;
• DO NOT work in areas where any explosion/spark-proof parts are expected to be used or in
the presence of big magnetic fields;
• DO NOT weld any metal parts to the accessory; do not use any filling welds; do not use the
accessory as mass for any welder.
11) FITNESS FOR USE
The accessory was subjected to spot check in order to test serviceability and performance at the
manufacturer’s. However, before starting working, the user should test the installed accessory for
serviceability and performance, to prove the entire system is fit for use.
