Do's ...
- Always wear safety glasses when working with wire products
- Always wear gloves when working with wire
- Only tension Gripples using the Gripple Tensioning Tool. The Gripple Tensioning Tool will deliver up to 400 kg / 880 lb of load, which is more than adequate for most purposes.
- Always locate the Gripple unit fully into the 'mouth' of the Tensioning Tool - this will ensure a correct interface.
Don'ts ...
- Never use a tractor to pull up the fence or wire joined with Gripples. This may overload the Gripple and cause it to fracture.
- Wires have different integral strengths. Do not over-tension the wire. If possible, use a tension gauge.
- Avoid spraying the wire or Gripple with crop sprays, fertilisers etc, as this could accelerate corrosion and may shorten the life of both the wire and the Gripple.
IF IN DOUBT, CONTACT GRIPPLE OR THE GRIPPLE AGENT IN YOUR COUNTRY (see stockists).
