tions, acknowledgements and invoices furnished to each customer in connection with the sale of those products. Not
withstanding this limited warranty, you should be aware that Williams products are intended for use by qualified and

Do not weld any casting, unless in the opinion of a qualified engineer such weld is in a no load, non-critical area.
Welding causes carbides and extreme brittleness near the weld point, and destroys nearly all load value. Any welding
or modifications to Williams products are the responsibility of the user, and as set forth in its limited warranty, Williams
Form Engineering Corporation makes no representations or warranties concerning products altered, welded, bent or
modified by others.
Many Williams products are manufactured, supplied and or designed as a system. Hence, we cannot guarantee that
components from systems supplied by other manufacturers are interchangeable with our products. For best results, all
parts of a system should consist of Williams products. From time to time, Williams Form Engineering Corporation may
change product designs, safe working load ratings and product dimensions without prior notice to users. For the most
current information concerning Williams products, please contact our engineering department, one of our technical rep-
resentative or see our web site.

Each user should periodically inspect bolts and working hardware for wear and discard worn parts. Bent bolts, and
bolts used at loads exceeding advertised yield strength should be discarded and replaced. A comprehensive inspection
and replacement program should be instituted and followed, so that all bolts will be replaced after a predetermined num-
ber of uses, regardless of the apparent condition of the bolt.
All lifting hardware units displayed in this catalog are subject to wear, misuse, overloading, corrosion, deformation
and other factors which may affect their safe working load. They should be regularly inspected to see if they may be
used at the rated safe working load or removed from service. Frequency of inspection is dependent upon frequency and
period of use, environment and other factors, and is best determined by an experienced user taking into account the
actual conditions under which the hardware is used.
