FORGED STEEL GRIPS Klein Chicago and Haven Grips are used to pull wire and cable, and to maintain temporary tension until the cable can be permanently terminated. These grips are not to be used as anchors. Klein Chicago grips have locking loop handles, standard on most grips that allow the jaws to be held in an open position for easier placement on wire or cable. This saves substantial time, and makes grip positioning easier than with wedge or bolt-on designs. To lock, open the jaws and fold loop handle toward the side plates. HOW TO SELECT THE PROPER GRIP Three basic factors determine the selection of the proper grip for each specific application: Type of wire or cable. Outside diameter of wire or cable. Maximum safe load required. Also the correct type of inside jaw contour should be considered. It is essential to select the correct gripping jaws to avoid damage to the wire or cable. When pulling stranded wire, the jaws should be long enough to take a full lay of cable to avoid damage to the conductor. Inside-Jaw Contours: Each grip comes with one of three inside-jaw contours appropriate for the type of wire or cable to be worked. Single V: Simple three-point contact jaws are designed for use on small-diameter bare wire and cable (solid stranded). Double V: Four-point contact provides greater gripping pressure and assures proper alignment of wire and cable within the jaws. Designed for high-strength steel guy wire and messenger wire, and extrahigh-strength cables and conductors. Round: Round jaws provide maximum contact and gripping power to minimize conductor damage. This jaw design is recommended for use on bare aluminium, ACSR, and copper conductors. REPAIR OR REPLACE? Never repair any grip. Grip jaws can sometimes be replaced if the grip is returned to Klein, but structural wear or damage cannot be safely corrected. Grips that are bent, misaligned or otherwise distorted should be discarded and replaced. Before each use, check all grips for jaw condition, proper alignment of jaws and all parts, and possible distortion caused by exceeding safe-load specifications. Grips should operate smoothly. Spring-loaded grips should lock open with loop handle in Down position and should close automatically with loop handle Up. The Klein parallel jaw grip may be tested by opening and closing the jaws by hand, while exercising proper caution. All parts and rivets, which may be distorted due to exceeding safe load, should be checked. RECOMMENDED CARE & MAINTENANCE The following guidelines have been established in order to maintain all grips in good condition: Clean the Grip Jaws Use emery cloth or a clean wire brush to periodically clean the surfaces of grip jaws. (Note: Aluminium-strand conductors may have a die-grease coating, which can deposit on grip jaws. New aluminium conductors should be wiped clean before grip application. Grip jaws should be wiped clean of all grease before use.) Be sure to clean grip jaws before and after each use on wire or cable, which has been galvanized or otherwise coated. Clean All Working Parts Use Klein s Cinch Cleaner/Degreaser Cat. No. 51101 to clean all joints and moving parts then apply Cinch Yellow No.51045. Check All Parts Look carefully for distortion or misalignment. Never Repair Any Grip If there is ever any question about the safe condition of any grip, please consult us directly. Please remember this rule. 9
