Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.

| Maintenance Tips | Clean after use, lubricate the chain and moving parts according to the manufacturer's instructions, and store dry. Inspect regularly for stretched or damaged links, corrosion, bent hooks, worn pawls, rope damage, and illegible markings. |
| Safety Notes | Do not use for personnel lifting, shock loading, side loading, or unattended suspended loads. Keep personnel clear of the load and line of pull. Use appropriate PPE and remove defective equipment from service immediately. |
