WARNINGS
ANY REPLACEMENT FASTENER (BOLTS, NUTS, CAP SCREWS, MACHINE SCREWS, ETC.) USED
DURING MAINTENANCE OR OVERHAUL MUST BE GRADE 8 OR EQUIVALENT UNLESS OTHERWISE
SPECIFIED.
WHEN RE-ASSEMBLING LOAD-BEARING DEVICES (CHAIN SLINGS, RIGID SLINGS, BACKUP LEGS,
ETC.) NOTE THAT THE ASSOCIATED FASTENERS MUST BE TIGHTENED TO THE CORRECT TORQUE
SPECIFIED FOR THAT SIZE OF FASTENER (SEE SECTION 3 - OVERHAUL). ANY THREADED FASTENER
IN A LOAD-BEARING DEVICE MUST BE SECURED WITH RED OR BLUE LOCTITE™.
A “LOAD-BEARING DEVICE” IS A CHAIN SLING, RIGID SLING, SPREADER BAR ASSEMBLY, FRAME, OR
ANY OTHER DEVICE THAT BEARS THE PARTIAL OR TOTAL WEIGHT OF THE EQUIPMENT FOR WHICH
THIS MANUAL HAS BEEN PRODUCED
THE LOAD-BEARING DEVICE SUPPLIED BY MCCOY DRILLING & COMPLETIONS IS DESIGNED TO SUP-
PORT THE EQUIPMENT DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL. MCCOY DRILLING & COMPLETIONS WILL NOT
GUARANTEE THE ABILITY OF THE LOAD-BEARING DEVICE TO SUPPORT ANY OTHER PART, ASSEM-
BLY OR COMBINATION OF PARTS AND ASSEMBLIES. MCCOY DRILLING & COMPLETIONS WILL NOT
GUARANTEE THE ABILITY OF THE LOAD-BEARING DEVICE TO LIFT OR SUPPORT THE EQUIPMENT
DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL IF THERE ARE ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE LOAD-BEARING DEVICE,
OR ANY ADDITIONS TO THE EQUIPMENT DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL THAT ADD WEIGHT TO THE
EQUIPMENT, UNLESS SUPPLIED BY MCCOY DRILLING & COMPLETIONS.

1. Inspection Of Slings
Farr Canada Corp. strongly recommends the following practices:
Acompleteinspectionofnewload-bearingdevicesandattachmentsshallbeperformedbyaqualified,designatedpersonprior
toinitialuse.Eachlinkandcomponentshallbeexaminedindividually,takingcaretoexposeandexamineallsurfacesincluding
theinnerlinksurface.Theslingshallbeexaminedforconditionssuchasthoselistedintheremovalcriteriabelow.Inaddition,
dailyinspectionofslings,fasteningsandattachmentsshallbeperformedbyadesignatedperson.Ifdamageordefectsarefound
ateitherinspection,thedamagedordefectivecomponentshallbequarantinedfromserviceuntilitcanbeproperlyrepairedor
replaced.
RemovalCriteria:

● Weldsplatter.
● Forhooks,removalcriteriaasstatedinASMEB30.10
● Otherconditions,includingvisibledamage,thatcausedoubtastothecontinueduseofthesling.
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.Allhardwaremustbefreeofrustandcorrosion.

2. Proper Use Of Load-Bearing Devices
Wheneveranyload-bearingdeviceisused,thefollowingpracticesshallbeobserved.
● Load-bearingdevicesthataredamagedordefectiveshallnotbeused.
● Slingsshallnotbeshortenedwithknotsorboltsorothermakeshiftdevices.

3. Storage Of Load-Bearing Devices
Properstorage of out-of-serviceload bearingdevices isimportant toensure full integrityof thedevice onceit isreturned to
service.Farrrecommendsobservingthefollowingpractices:
