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 6-6. 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.

Inspect the wedge and socket. Remove rough edges and burrs.
