INSTALLATION OF THE HOBBLE-CLAMP

• Use the Hobble-Clamp manufactured for this particular unit
  

• Install it on the walking beam, 6-to-12” behind the horse head or throat pin, at the point previously measured, with hook facing the horse head or throat pin
  

• Use the appropriate number of shims to insure the side plates make contact with the beam and the center block at the same time.
  
  There must be NO gaps between the side plates and the center block.
  

• Use a minimum of 100 to 150 foot pounds of torque on both 5/8” grade 8 bolts
  

• Use .047 stainless steel safety lock wire through bolt heads to insure they do not back off
  

• Use wire-twister cutting pliers such as McMaster-Carr or equivalent
  

• Use only the Hobble-Clamp manufactured for the specific pumping unit or a walking beam of equal dimensions.
  
  The Hobble Clamp is not designed or manufactured to be interchanged in whole or in part with other units not of the same dimensions.
