Troubleshooting
Wire not tensioning effectively
Ensure a chain strainer is properly attached to the clamp's eye end and that the wire is securely held within the clamp before applying tension. Check that the wire gauge is compatible with the clamp.
Clamp not gripping wire securely
Verify that the nuts securing the plate to the wire are tightened sufficiently. Ensure the wire is seated correctly within the clamp's gripping mechanism.
Visible rust on the clamp
The red powder coating provides protection. If rust appears, gently clean the area with a wire brush and apply a rust-inhibiting paint suitable for metal.
Difficulty attaching chain strainer
Ensure the eye end of the strainer clamp is clear of debris. The eye ends are designed for standard chain strainer attachments.
