LIMITED WARRANTY – PADEYES ARE FOR SINGLE-USE, ONE-TIME PLACEMENT APPLICATION ONLY, SUBJECT TO END-USER EVALUATION OF FITNESS FOR PURPOSE AND QUALIFIED INSTALLATION WITHIN RECOMMENDED TOLERANCES. UNDER NORMAL USE AND SERVICE, ALL PADEYES ARE WARRANTED TO BE FREE FROM DEFECTS IN MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP FOR A PERIOD OF THREE (3) YEARS FROM THE DATE OF SALE. THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE DISCLAIMED.

Inspect all Padeyes prior to each use for cracks or damage;
Do not exceed the working load limit (WLL) of any Padeye (see WLL Summary Table);
The WLL of each Padeye may be less than the WLL of the shackle used, depending on Category and Class;
In-Line load limit is equal to the shackle WLL for Category A Class 0;
Shackles must be Crosby G-2130, or equivalent;
Shackle pins must be allowed to rotate in the shackle pin holes;
All welding to AWS D1.1 or D14.1;
Do not cold bend the lug;
Do not hammer on the lug;
Do not use for Fall Protection (See 29 CFR §1926.502)
Use the appropriate size shackle pin and capacity to match the lug hole diameter and capacity;
Do not use any undersized shackle pins;
Temperature limit +10 degrees F to 200 degrees F;
Weld only onto acceptable base metal;
Weld only onto a flat surface;
Weld must be on the same surface/plane;
Do not allow out of plane weld returns;
Fillet weld sizes are minimum requirements for WLL;
Show welding symbols on instruction/warning tag;
Ensure base metal thickness and weld size comply with Table 3-3.4.3-1;
The lug and base metal must not exceed the thickness requirements of the thicker part;
Use a qualified welding procedure to weld lug onto equipment;
Welding procedures shall be qualified to meet minimum strengths required per end-user design;
No welding of lugs onto equipment that is stress relieved for environmental reasons or per code, for that alloy, without end-user’s review and approval.

Sample two (2) lugs or 5% (whichever is greater) of every lot produced for destructive testing;
Perform metallography;
The sample is split down the middle and examined for dendritic structure in middle of material, and excessive flow and cracking at flashing at edge of forging;
After metallography, take both tensile and Charpy tests to confirm it meets A36 specification;
Charpy samples are cut to test for both outer and inner material on lifting lug;
10-20% of each lot will be magnetic particle tested to look for cracking;
Visual inspection for cracking on all lugs produced.
