An instruction sheet in enclosed with each box of grips from
Preformed Line Products.
Basically, start at the first colored stripe for small insulators
and the second stripe for large insulators. Line up the stripes.
They show them going on equally. I find it faster / easier to
start with the short one and then do the long one. Be sure
the "snap" the end. Sometimes it takes a little extra pressure
(wear leather gloves) or use some lineman's pliers. If you
have ice in winter, it may be advisable to use end caps over
the guy grip ends. The prevent unraveling in the event of
ice sliding down the guys. These are also available from
Preformed Line Products Co. in Cleveland, OH.
