maintained in a manner consistent with part design. Barco products must be used in a manner consistent with their design and
inspected on a routine basis for security, wear, deformation, corrosion and any other circumstances that may affect the load handling
capability of the part.

Barco recommends inspections at regular intervals for all installations and increasing in frequency for more critical installations. If
a part is found to have damage, which may cause a decrease in load capability, the part must be removed for service or replaced
immediately.

Under no circumstances are Barco parts repairable by anyone other than Barco.
