PREPARATION AND USAGE

Securing A Clamp Properly

As can be seen in steps 1-3, the rope is passed around a thimble
forming a return loop, where its end is secured by rope grips.
Note how the saddle of the Crosby Clip is affixed over the rope
portion that carries the greatest load. Any other fashion is
unacceptable.
A
Proper Application Of Clamps
After the first wire rope clamp has been tightly applied at the thimble
area, a MINIMUM of one clamp width must be maintained between
the remaining wire rope clamps being used. Tighten nuts on each
U-Bolt evenly, alternating from one nut to the other until reaching rec-
ommended torque. After the first application of load check and, if
required, adjust torque again.

Preparation Of Rope Clamp
Prior to the application of rope clams to elevator ropes, Brugg strongly recommends
applying a lubricant to the bolt threads and collars of the nuts. A small step to be
sure, but one that can greatly facilitate installation and serve to reduce the time spent on
maintenance later.

Incorrect Usage
WARNING: U-Bolts must never be applied on the loaded,
or "live" end of a hoist rope. Instead, the live end should
rest in the saddle of the Crosby clip as shown previously
in drawing A. Or to quote an old saw in the industry, "Never
saddle a dead horse."
