Figure 4-15. Installing Wire Rope Clamps
(6)
Secure wire rope with two clamps.
(7)
Unscrew turnbuckle so that it is nearly fully extended. This will allow for turnbuckle adjustment to take up
wire rope sag (figure 4-16).
(8)
Attach turnbuckle to wire rope at one end and engage stake with turnbuckle hook at the other end.
(9)
Repeat steps (e) through (h) for opposite end of wire rope.
(10)
Use turnbuckles to adjust sag in wire rope with no load to within limits shown in (figure 4-17).
(11)
Place shackle on wire rope, lift hose end, wrap saddle around hose, and attach to shackle. Tie manila rope
to leading end of hoseline (figure 4-14).
(12)
As saddles are applied and secured, use the manila rope to pull hoseline across the stream, gap, or
obstruction. Saddles will travel along wire rope, providing support for hoseline.
(13)
When hoseline is in place, use three or more clamps (depending upon need) to secure shackles to wire
rope to prevent an accumulation of slack in center of span.
(14)
After hoseline is filled use turnbuckles to adjust sag to within the limits (see figure 4-17).
