2250 OPERATOR MANUAL SETUP AND INSTALLATION
NOTE: Use Method A only if the wire rope clip is small
enough to be securely tightened to the dead end.
Method C is applicable only for a terminator socket
and wedge.
6. After the socket is pinned in place, hoist the load slowly
so the wedge seats tight. Do not shock load the socket
and wedge.
WARNING
Falling Load Hazard!
Avoid death or serious injury. Wire rope can break if the
following precaution is not observed.
Do not attach the dead end of the wire rope to the live end
with a wire rope clip. The wire rope clip will transfer the
load from the live side of the wire rope to the dead end,
seriously weakening the attachment.
