Troubleshooting
Eye nut does not screw on properly
Ensure you are using a compatible 8mm male threaded fastener. Check both the eye nut and the fastener threads for any debris or damage.
Rust or corrosion visible
Clean the affected area with a soft cloth. For minor surface rust, a light application of a rust inhibitor suitable for plated steel may be used. Inspect for deep pitting; if present, replace the eye nut.
Suspected reduction in load capacity
Immediately cease use if any deformation, bending, or damage to the eye nut is observed. Replace the eye nut if it has been subjected to a load exceeding its Safe Working Load (S.W.L.) of 0.14t.
