Methods Of Application
1. Always apply the saddle of the wire rope clip to the live end (non turnback end) of the wire rope or cable. “Never Saddle a Dead Horse.” Turn back the specified amount of rope from the thimble. Apply the first clip one base width from the dead end of the wire rope.

3. Space additional clips equally between the first two. Take up rope slack. Tighten all nuts evenly on all clips.
