WARNING! Webbing or smaller lashings can be damaged by
being pinched between post and sideplate. Damaged webbing
or lashings can part suddenly under load. Use only loops when
terminating at dead-end post.
WARNING! If sideplates are angled to one another, dead-end post
is not seated correctly. This will cconsiderably weaken the block so
it can easily break under load. Block sideplates must be parallel to
one another when assembled.
