NOTE: How to measure wire rope diameter:
The correct diameter of the wire rope is the
largest cross-sectional measurement across
the strands (and not the valleys).
The measurement should be made carefully
with calipers as shown in Fig. 38.
WARNING: REPLACEMENT WIRE ROPE MUST BE
THE SAME SIZE, GRADE, AND CON-
STRUCTION AS THE WIRE ROPE
SPECIFIED BY THE SUPPLIER! (See
pages 7 and 12).
THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL RESPONSI-
BILITY FOR MACHINES USED WITH A WIRE ROPE
OTHER THAN SPECIFIED BY HIM.
