When installing the wedge, hit the wedge several times with
a hammer and wood block to make sure the wedge is fully
engaged with the socket. Install cable clamp on the loose
end of the wire rope as shown in Figure 11-5.
To properly seat the wedge, lift a load equal to the rated
capacity of the crane.
