Installation Tips

• Ensure the thimble is properly seated in the loop to prevent cable crushing
• Install clips with the U-bolt section over the dead end (short end) of the rope and the saddle on the live end

• Tighten clamps firmly, but avoid overtightening to prevent strand damage
• Periodically check and retighten clamps after initial load-bearing use
