Question 2171Deck General70% to pass
If kinking results while wire rope is being coiled clockwise, you should _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) take a turn under.
When coiling wire rope clockwise, kinking can occur. To prevent this, the proper technique is to take a turn under the coil as you are winding it. This helps to keep the lay of the wire rope straight and prevents the formation of kinks. Taking a turn under the coil as you wind it clockwise allows the rope to lay properly and avoids the kinking that can result from simply coiling it clockwise.
The other options are incorrect because: A) twisting out kinks under strain can damage the wire rope, B) coiling counterclockwise would not address the issue, and D) simply not coiling the wire rope is not a practical solution.
