STEP 1 : Place sling into bowl of measuring hook. Make
sure there are no kinks or twists in chain legs. If the sling is
equipped with shortening hooks / clutches, make sure they
are disengaged and legs hang free.

STEP 2 : Insert your tape measure into the slotted section
of the hook. Make sure the tape sits into the groove and is
hanging parallel with the chain legs. Do not allow the tape
measure to become kinked or rest at an angle.

STEP 3 : Perform your daily, link-by-link inspection of the chain
sling while raising the hoist hook. This can easily be done at eye
level with no stooping or kneeling on the floor.
Required under OSHA 1910.184(d) : Each day before be-
ing used, the sling and all fastenings and attachments shall be
inspected for damage or defects by a competent person desig-
nated by the employer. Additional inspections shall be performed
during sling use, where service conditions warrant. Damaged or
defective slings shall be immediately removed from service.

STEP 4 : Measure the bearing of the sling. This can easily
be done at eye level by raising the hoist hook. Because the
sling is hanging vertically, the measurement will be more
accurate than those taken while the sling is laying on the
ground. Also, the measurement can be easily done by a
single person in a short time.
