SetuP & oPeRation
McCoy Drilling & Completions recommends following an industry-accepted standard such as OSHA, ASME B30.9-2006, or manu-
facturer’s guidelines when performing any rigging and overhead lifting. Use by untrained persons is hazardous. Improper use will
result in serious injury or death. Do not exceed rated capacity. Slings will fail if damaged, abused, misused, overused, or improperly
maintained.
• Only grade 80 or grade 100 alloy chain should be used for overhead lifting applications.
• Working Load Limit (WLL) is the maximum allowable load in pounds which may be applied to the load-bearing device, when the

1. Inspection Of Slings
McCoy Completions & Drilling strongly recommends the following practices:
A complete inspection of new load-bearing devices and attachments shall be performed by a qualified, designated person prior
to initial use. Each link and component shall be examined individually, taking care to expose and examine all surfaces including
the inner link surface. The sling shall be examined for conditions such as those listed in the removal criteria below. In addition,
daily inspection of slings, fastenings and attachments shall be performed by a designated person. If damage or defects are found
at either inspection, the damaged or defective component shall be quarantined from service until it can be properly repaired or
replaced.
Removal Criteria:
A load-bearing device shall be removed from service if conditions such as the following are present:
• Missingorillegibleslingidentication.
• Cracks or breaks
• Evidenceoftamperingisseen-slingtaghasbeenmodiedorobscured,ortamper-proofnutsaremissing.
• Signs of impact on load-bearing components, including spreader bars, lifting lugs, rigid slings & rigid sling weldments, and
legs & leg mounts.
• Broken or damaged welds.
• Excessive wear, nicks, or gouges. Refer to the chart below to ensure minimum thickness on chain links supplied is not be
below the values listed:

Refer To ASME B30.9
• Stretched, bent, twisted, or deformed chain links or components.
• Evidence of heat damage.
• Excessive pitting or corrosion.
• Lack of ability of chain or components to hinge (articulate) freely.
• Weld splatter.
• For hooks, removal criteria as stated in ASME B30.10
• Other conditions, including visible damage, that cause doubt as to the continued use of the sling.
Inspect all lugs and fixing points for signs of elongation and/or bending, or for material build-up around the hole. Repair or
replace components that appear distorted. Ensure all hardware is tight and in good condition. Replace missing hardware if
necessary. All hardware must be free of rust and corrosion.
Additional inspections shall be performed during sling use where service conditions warrant. Periodic inspection intervals shall
not exceed one year. The frequency of periodic inspections should be based on:
• Frequency of use of the load-bearing device.
• Severity of service conditions
• Nature of lifts being made
• Experience gained on the service life of load-bearing devices used in similar circumstances.
Guidelines for the interval are:
• Normal Service - yearly
• Severe Service - monthly to quarterly
• SpecialService-asrecommendedbyaqualiedperson

4. For the purposes of this standard, a substantial repair or modification is defined as any repair and/or
modification that has been carried out which may, in the opinion of the inspection body, affect the load-
bearing elements of the container or lifting device, or elements that contribute directly to its structural
integrity.
IF MECHANICAL DAMAGE IS SEEN OR SUSPECTED ON A LOAD-BEARING DEVICE, OR
IF THE LOAD-BEARING DEVICE HAS BEEN OVERLOADED, IT MUST BE REMOVED FROM
SERVICE AND QUARANTINED UNTIL RECERTIFIED
Written records of the most recent periodic inspection shall be maintained, and shall include the condition of the sling.
2. Proper Use Of Load-Bearing Devices
Whenever any load-bearing device is used, the following practices shall be observed.
• Load-bearing devices that are damaged or defective shall not be used.
• Slings shall not be shortened with knots or bolts or other makeshift devices.
• Sling legs shall not be kinked.
• Load-bearing devices shall not be loaded in excess of their rated capacities.
• Slings shall be securely attached to their load.
• Load-bearing devices shall be protected from snagging, and shall not be further obstructed by any object.
• Suspended loads shall be kept clear of all obstruction.
• All employees shall be kept clear of loads about to be lifted and of suspended loads.
• Handsorngersshallnotbeplacedbetweentheslinganditsloadwhiletheslingisbeingtightenedaroundtheload.
• Shock loading is prohibited.
• Do not stand directly under a load during lifting.
3. Storage Of Load-Bearing Devices
Proper storage of out-of-service load bearing devices is important to ensure full integrity of the device once it is returned to
service. Farr® recommends observing the following practices:
• Wipe off all excess grease. Use a solvent-based cleaner on rags to wipe all external surfaces to remove residual grease or
hydraulicuid.Oncetheoutsidesurfaceshavebeende-greased,wipeallexternalsurfaceswithcleanwatertoremovere-
sidual solvent.
• Farr® recommends that an anti-corrosive agent such as Tectyl®506 be applied to all external surfaces. Refer to manufacturer
data sheets for proper application and safety information. Allow the anti-corrosive coating ample time to dry - refer to manufac-
turer data sheets for drying times at room temperature.
• Store in a clean, dry location. When returning to service, note that a full inspection of the device must be performed.
