Pull the slop out of the shackle springs on sling side and clamp in place.
Note:
Verify wire ropes are not crossed at any point throughout their complete length.
Route the wire rope through the shackle socket closet to the rail wall while pulling down on the wire rope
to seat the shackle tightly in the pedestal base. Loop the wire rope up back through the shackle socket
while continuing to hold the tension on the wire rope. Insert the wedge into the newly formed loop and
pull on the dead end of the wire rope to seat the wedge into the shackle socket. Repeat this step for the
other shackle.
Verify the tension is equal on each wire rope and
adjust as needed.
Fasten (4) cable clamps into the designated
locations as described below:
The fi rst clamp shall be placed a maximum
of 4 times the rope diameter above the
shackle.
(Example: 3/8” wire rope = maximum
distance of 1-1/2”)
The second clamp shall be located within
8 times the rope diameter above the fi rst
clamp
(Example: 3/8” wire rope = maximum
distance of 3”)
Install the anti-rotation brackets into
the shackles and secure.
