See figure 25 steps 2, 3, 5 and 6.
2. Terminate one lashing wire using a lashing wire clamp by placing the wire
below the stud and between the second washer and stud shoulder.
3. Remove any slack in the lashing wire by maintaining tension on the wire
and tapping the strand sharply. Form the wire over the stud and tighten the
nut. Cut the free end of the lashing wire off 1/4 in. (6 mm) beyond the end
of the clamp.
4. Form the end of the lashing wire 90 degrees around the end of the clamp
to minimize exposure of the free end of the lashing wire.
5. Terminate a second lashing wire (if used) with the D lashing wire clamp as
outlined above; however, temporarily clamp the first lashing wire using a
D lashing wire grip to maintain lashing wire tension.
6. Loosen the nut on the lashing wire clamp and terminate the second lashing
wire between the first and second washers. Tighten the nut to complete the
termination.
7. Remove the D lashing wire grip(s).
