Proper use of CM Big Orange® PiggyBack Wedge Socket Clips
 FIG. 1 |  FIG. 2 |
1. Dead end wire rope tail length should be at least 6 rope diameters, but not less than 6 inches beyond the wedge socket. Figure 1.
2. Apply U-bolt and first saddle on dead end rope and the second saddle on live end rope. Install nuts. Figures 1 & 2.
3. Position the dual saddle clip so that 3 to 4 inches of dead end rope remain beyond the clip. Figures 1 & 2.
4. Tighten nuts evenly. Alternate tightening each nut until reaching the required torque specified. Figure 2.
5. Check that clip does not pinch or clamp the live wire rope. Apply an initial test load equal to the loads expected in regular use. Be certain rope is secured properly in the wedge socket prior to any use.
6. Inspect for proper rope alignment with wedge socket and retighten the nuts to the specified torque.
*  WARNING |
| Improper installation and use of the wedge socket clip can result in bodily injury or property damage. To avoid injury and damage, use only as a dead end clip in conjunction with a wedge socket as directed. Read and follow instructions. |
