RETAIN SAFETY INFORMATION
3
Be aware that a cable puller may exert up to twice its rated capacity on any
component in the pulling set-up.
ALWAYS inspect the structural integrity of any supporting conduit,
anchoring system, etc. that will hold the EZ Sheave™Radius Sheave
during the pull. These supports should be able to withstand twice the
maximum pulling force of the cable puller.
Rope must ALWAYS be pulled over a rotating sheave. If a sheave does
not rotate, turn cable puller off immediately and determine the cause
before continuing pull.
All instructions and safety information supplied with the cable puller being
used must be read and understood. Failure to understand how to safely
operate and service the cable puller could result in serious injury or death.
EZ Sheave™Radius Sheave are for use in cable pulling only. DO NOT use
for lifting personnel or equipment. Failure to observe this warning could
result in serious injury or death.
Before removing spring clip and lowering the connector bar, ALWAYS
relieve any tension on the EZ Sheave™.
DO NOT use the EZ Sheave™ Radius Sheave without the connector bar in
place and properly secured with the spring clip.
The angle of the pulling rope over the EZ Sheave™ Radius Sheave will help
you calculate the load being applied to the radius sheave and its support
structure. Be sure to determine this load prior to making a pull, and be
certain the hook sheave and support structure can handle the load.
Read and understand the cable manufacturer's specifications for
minimum bending radius for the cable being pulled. Using incorrect size
sheaves can damage the cable.
ALWAYS wear safety glasses. Failure to wear eye protection could result
in eye injury from flying debris.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Follow ALL safety information provided by the manufacturer.

EZ SHEAVE™RADIUS SHEAVE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. To unload the EZ Sheave™Radius Sheave, remove the spring clips (Part #406-3) from
the tabs located at the top of the yoke frames near the hooks. (See Figure 4a).
2. Pull the connector bars out far enough to clear the top tab and lower connector
bar out of the way (See Figure 4b).
3. Unload the cable. Raise the connector bars back into position (See Figure 4c ). Insert
the spring clips into the tabs to secure the connector bars (See Figure 4d).
DO NOT operate the EZ Sheave™Radius Sheave without the
connector bars in place and properly secured.

• Loads may disengage from hook if proper procedures
are not followed.
• A falling load may cause serious injury or death.
• Hook must always support the load. The load must
never be supported by the latch.
• Read and understand these instructions before using hook.
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 ANSI B30.10. Refer to ANSI B30.10 –
hooks for additional information.
• Never use a hook whose throat opening has been
increased, or whose tip has been bent more than 10
degrees out of plane from the hook body, 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 trained personnel 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.)
• Always make sure the hook supports the load. (See
Figure 3). The latch must never support the load (See
Figure 4).
• When placing two (2) sling legs in hook, make sure
the angle from the vertical to the outermost leg is
not greater than 45 degrees, and the included angle
between the legs does not exceed 90 degrees (See
Figure 5). For two legged slings with angles greater
than 90 degrees, use an intermediate link such as a
master link or bolt type shackle to collect the legs of
the slings. The intermediate link can be placed over
the hook to provide an in-line load on the hook. This
approach must also be used when using slings with
three or more legs.

WARNING AND APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION –
READ AND FOLLOW
• Always inspect hook and latch before using.
• Never use a latch that is distorted or bent.
• Always make sure spring will force the latch against
the tip of the hook.
• Always make sure hook supports the load. The latch
must never support the load. (See Figure 1 & 2.)
• When placing two (2) sling legs in hook, make sure
the angle between the legs is less than 90° and if
the hook or load is tilted, nothing bears against the
bottom of the latch. (See Figure 3 & 4.)
• Latches are intended to retain loose sling or devices
under slack conditions.
• Latches are not intended to be an anti-fouling device.
• Loads may disengage from hook if proper
procedures are not followed.
• A falling load may cause serious injury or death.
• Hook must always support the load. The load must
never be supported by the latch.
• DO NOT use this latch in applications requiring
non-sparking.
• Read and understand these instructions before
using hook and latch.
