Turn nuts firmly, but do not tighten.Space additional clips, if required, equallybetween the first two. Turn nuts, take up ropeslack and tighten all nuts evenly on all clips torecommended torque.l When using U-bolt clips,extreme care must be exercisedto make certain that they areattached correctly. Failure tofollow this procedure couldcause DEATH or seriousinjury.l Failure to make a terminationin accordance with thefollowing instructions, orfailure to periodically checkand retighten to therecommended torque, willcause a reduction in efficiencyrating which could causeDEATH or serious injury.1. Turn back the specified amount of rope fromthe thimble. Apply the first clip one basewidth from the dead end of the wire rope (U-bolt over dead end; live end rests in clipsaddle). The U-bolt must be applied so thatthe “U” section is in contact with the dead endof the rope (Figure 4-36). Tighten nutsevenly to recommended torque.Figure 4-35.
