Installation Notes

Always install with the U-bolt saddle on the dead (short) end of the wire rope and the saddle on the live (load-bearing) end. Tighten nuts evenly and re-torque after initial load application. A minimum of 3 clamps is recommended for safe termination.

Note: Never use wire rope clamps as a substitute for proper end terminations in critical lifting applications without consulting a qualified engineer.
