Pulling Grips Lacing Instructions
Description
Pulling Grips Lacing Instructions listed here covers using plastic coated lacing steel wire (provided with the grip) to close the split mesh of a lace closing wire mesh pulling or suspension grip. Make sure that you Double Band and Tape ends of the wire mesh grips.
Pulling Grips Lacing Instructions:
Start the lacing at the lead (eye) or anchoring end of the Grip. Thread the lacing through the first few loops of the split and pull through until the lacings are centered at this point.
Lace as you would your shoe, over/under crossing the lacings before next two loops.
Don’t pull the lacing too tight. Leave space between adjoining loops approximately equal to the width of one diamond of the mesh.
Tie the lacing strands tightly together using a standard square knot.
Wrap the ends of the lacing once or twice tightly around the tail of the Grip and tie the ends together securely.
Cut the excess lace steel wire using a pair of diagonal wire cutters.
Band the tail end of the grip 4 to 6 inches apart using a BAND-IT® banding tool. One band should be located over the knot. Banding instructions can be located on this page.
After banding, wrap few layers of electric tape over the bands and around the loose tail of the grip to create a smooth, snag-resistant surface.
