Rope Fasteners, Thimbles and Sockets
Every 10 operating hours or daily:
Check the wire rope is firmly in place in the fitting.
With poured rope fittings, inspect for broken wires and corrosion directly where the
rope exits the fitting.
With swaged-on rope fittings, inspect for broken wires next to the fitting, cracks in
the material and firm seizure of the rope.
CAUTION
Danger of rope breaking!
If a defect is found on a rope fitting, cut off the rope end and re-fit it.
