IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
This symbol is used to call your attention to hazards
or unsafe practices which could result in an injury
or property damage. The signal word, defined below,
indicates the severity of the hazard. The message after
the signal word provides information for preventing or
avoiding the hazard.
Immediate hazards which, if not avoided, WILL
result in severe injury or death.
Hazards which, if not avoided, COULD result in
severe injury or death.
Hazards or unsafe practices which, if not avoided, MAY
result in injury or property damage.
Read and understand all of the instruc-
tions and safety information in this
manual before operating or servicing
this tool.
Failure to observe this warning could
result in severe injury or death.
Excessive load hazard:
Do not exceed safe working limit (see Operating
Specifications).
• Operating swivel at loads in excess of its safe
working limit could cause permanent bearing
damage (even though separation due to failure will
not occur until the specified ultimate load is reached).
• Operating swivel at loads in excess of its safe
working limit will void warranty.
Failure to observe this warning could result in severe
injury or death.

SAFETY
ALERT
SYMBOL
Be prepared for the unexpected.
Use recognized safety practices, and wear recognized
safety equipment.
Failure to observe this warning could result in severe
injury or death.
Use recommended safe working limit:
• For underground use, and use in conduit, the
recommended safe working limit is 3:1, based on the
ultimate load.
• For overhead use, the required safe working limit is
5:1, based on the ultimate load, due to the higher risk
of severe personal injury or property damage.
Failure to observe this warning could result in severe
injury or death.
• Never use a worn, defective or incomplete component.
• Ensure that all components of the pulling system are
able to withstand the maximum pulling loads. Compo-
nents not rated for the pull force could break and
release the stored energy of the pull.
Failure to observe this warning could result in severe
injury or death.
Do not modify or dismantle the line swivel.
The swivel was assembled, inspected and shipped in its
"covered warranty" form. Any attempt to dismantle or
modify the swivel will void the warranty and could result
in property damage, severe injury or death.
Swivels are not designed to be pulled over sheaves,
capstans, bull wheels or bends in conduit, since a bending
load acts to increase the tension in the line swivel and
may cause damage. If this situation cannot be avoided,
select a swivel with a safe working limit that is 20%
greater than the anticipated straight tension load.
Failure to observe this warning could result in severe
injury or death.
