•
Do not use force when mounting/positioning the hooks.
•
No one including you (operator) must be in the way of the
moving load (hazard area).
•
Do not tip-load a hook.
•
Hooks shall have well-functioning safety latches.
•
Avoid bending loads to act on chain links and hooks.
•
Only lift loads that are freely movable and not attached or
fastened.
•
Always monitor a suspended load.
•
During lifting your hands or other body parts must not come
into contact with lifting means. Only remove lifting means
manually (use your hands).
•
Avoid impacts, e.g. due to abruptly lifting loads with chain in
slack condition.
•
Avoid sharp edges.
•
Usage without working safety elements (cotter pins, dowel
pins) is not permissible.
•
Make sure the load can take the forces to be applied without
suffering deformation.
•
Hooks must be allowed to move freely in all tensile
directions.
•
Put the load only down in flat places/sites where it can be
safely deposited.
•
Assume for sufficient space for the personnel to move when
choosing the route of transportation and storage location.
Danger to life and risk of injury by crushing hazards!
•
In the event of doubts or concerns about the proper and safe
use, inspection, maintenance or similar things contact your
safety officer or the manufacturer.
THIELE is not responsible for damage caused by non-
observance of the instructions, rules, standards and notes
indicated!
As a rule, hooks and chain slings are not permitted for the
transportation of persons.

DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
OCTA STAR clevis sling hooks are exclusively intended as end
fittings for the usage in chains slings according to ASTM A 906/A
906M.
The connection to the sling chain is made directly by the clevis.
OCTA STAR clevis sling hooks must exclusively be used
•
within the limits of their permissible working load limits,
•
for permissible attachment methods and sling angles,
•
within the temperature limits prescribed,
•
by trained and authorized persons.
Failure to do so may cause serious injury or property damage.
OCTA-STAR clevis sling hooks feature a safety factor of at least 4
based on the working load limit.
They are designed to withstand 20 000 dynamic load changes
under maximum load conditions. In the event of higher loads
(e.g. multi-shift/automatic operation) the working load limit
must be reduced.
They are marked with nominal chain size and grade,
manufacturer’s mark “KWS” and traceability code.
The hooks can also be used within lashing chain assemblies.
When used within a lashing system the maximum lashing
capacity (LC) is obtained by doubling the working load limit.
Any alternating use for lifting and lashing purposes is
impermissible!

COMMISSIONING
Prior to using the components for the first time assure that
•
the hooks comply with the order and have not been
damaged,
•
test certificates and mounting instructions are at hand,
•
markings correspond with what is specified in the
documentation,
•
inspection deadlines and the qualified persons for
examinations are determined,
•
visibility and functional testings are carried out and
documented,
•
documentation is safely kept in an orderly manner.
Dispose of the packing in an environmentally compatible way
according to local rule.
