Wire Rope Grips

NOTES ON ASSEMBLY AND USE

• Prior to fitting, the THREADS of nuts and “U” bolts should be WELL GREASED.
• The spacing between the grips should be at least SIX TIMES THE DIAMETER OF ROPE.
• Ensure grips are correctly orientated. The “U” BOLT should always be placed on the UNLOADED END OF THE ROPE.
• Tighten EACH NUT evenly and IN TURN to achieve the recommended torque setting.
• Leave UNUSED FOR 24 HOURS and check torque setting again. In some cases, a 50% LOSS OF TORQUE has been recorded OVER THIS PERIOD. Re-tighten to correct torque.
• AFTER THE FIRST APPLICATION OF THE LOAD, CHECK torque setting again – and re-set if necessary.
• During service, ensure PERIODIC CHECKING of torque setting.
