WARNING
Falling Load Hazard!
To prevent the load from dropping, make sure that, under
slack conditions, the hook latch retains the slings or other
rigging in the hook.
The hook latch is not intended as an anti-fouling device.
Make sure that the hook latch does not support any part of
the load.
Make sure that any slings or other rigging are seated in
the hook. Rigging must never be in a position to foul the
hook latch.
Never disable the hook latch. The hook latch must be
allowed to function as intended.
