1. Never exceed specified Working Load Limit.
2. Shackles application :
   Screw pin type shackles are designed for temporarily usage.  For long term and frequent loading, YOKE Bolt Type Shackles are recommended.
3. Side Loading of Shackles :
   Side loading will result in damage of screw pin/bolt pin or bow body, this will easily deform the body of hook and shackle strengthness.

4. Point Loading of Shackles :

3. YOKE Shackles may be used at temperatures between -40˘XC to 200˘XC(-40˘XF to 392˘XF) with no reduction in the working load limit.
4. In any event of below circumstances occur, please remove hardwares from service:
   a. Wear  b. Deformation  c. Pin cannot be connected tightly with body  d. Crack   e. YOKE Shackle without YOKE logo
