ANCHOR CROSSOVER ASSEMBLY

 

  

 

 

• DO NOT use “C” type shackles in Anchor Crossover assemblies

• Use “C” type of shackle only to link SPM

®

 FSR spines or tie off 

at anchor point (See page 30)

• Only “bolt” type shackles should be used

NOTE:

 There are two types of approved shackles used on a typical 

SPM

®

 FSR installation. Never substitute the incorrect type of 

shackle for the non-specified application. Individual shackles or 

shackles on achor crossovers are used to tie spine to the shackle 

and not used to go through the eye or loop of the shackle. See
