such items as wire rope, outriggers, turret, pedestal,
main frame, boom sections, sheaves, hydraulic cylinders,
pin boss areas, hooks, load blocks, warning placards,
controls, safety devices and inspection records (OSHA CFR

Each accessible critical weld will be examined
visually with the assistance of non-destructive methods of
magnetic particle and/or dye penetrant inspection when
deemed necessary (ASTM E-165-83 Liquid Penetrant
