Before each use, inspect the strut shear head for issues that could
affect safe use.

• Broken, cracked, bent, missing, loose, or binding parts or
other damage to the head and dies.
• Chipping or cracking of the dies (See Figure 2A).
• Damage to mounting tabs or to arm hinge area (See Fi-
gure 2B).
• Presence and readability of Warning Decal (As shown in
Figure 1).
• Any other condition which may prevent safe and normal
operation.
If any issues are found, do not use the Strut Shear Head
until corrected.
