To shorten the assembly:

1. Pull more rope through the Gripple by pulling on the free tail end. This will reduce the size of the loop contained by the Gripple;  or
2. Take the Gripple up the active line that connects the object to the overhead anchoring point. This has the effect of increasing the size of the loop contained by the Gripple.

To lengthen the assembly:

1. Before an assembly can be lengthened, first check that there is sufficient free tail outside the Gripple, or free rope inside the Gripple, to provide the desired increase in length.
2. Before starting any adjustment, ensure that the load on the assembly is removed.
3. Use the setting key to disengage the wedge inside the Gripple and pull the required length of rope through. Remove the setting key so that the wedge is securely back in contact with the rope.

Helpful Hint - Always try to set the object to be installed low and adjust upwards to the required height.
