o
Use 8mm socket wrench (not provided) on either of the hex shaft ends in side wall 1
and turn them in their designated direction (bevel hex in counter clockwise direction
and hub gear in clockwise direction- see Figure 9). IMPORTANT:
Use wrench to
open gripper only as far as is necessary to install security set screws. Opening
gripper further with socket wrench will damage gripper.
o
Once in the open position, insert the security set screws so they touch the rotating
shaft.
Note: Before changing shoes or spacers, install security set screws to prevent unintended
“ROPE GRIPPER™” activation, leading to severe personal injury and/or damage to the
unit.
