"SAC" Clamp

Attach the clamp to the plate so it is square with the plate
and the plate is inserted to full depth of throat.
For horizontal lift place pad leg under plate.
Position clamp so that the load is balanced.
For horizontal lifting with a double arm sling
and two clamps being used the angle
between the sling legs should not exceed 30°.

the center rings are in contact with the plate.
Ensure that
the cam is square on the plate.
Tighten the screw with
the torque limiting handle supplied, hand tight only. You

It is best to use a spreader
bar when two or more clamps are used for a
lift. If a double sling is used, be sure angle
between sling leg is 40° or less. And be sure
clamps are positioned in line of pull.
