INSTALLING WEDGE AND SOCKET.
WARNING
Use only a wedge and socket of the correct size for the
wire rope (cable) fitted. Failure to do so may result in
the rope pulling through the fitting.
Make sure the live-loaded side of the cable is in line with
the ears of the socket as shown in Figure 6-5. If the
wire rope is loaded incorrectly, it will bend under a load
as it leaves the socket. The edge of the socket will
eventually wear into the rope causing damage and
failure.
