* When torquing splice bolts, do not use impact wrench as over-torquing will cause both belt and splice failure. In addition, under torquing could lead to insufficient clamp pressure and could create splice failure, and tracking issues. ** On smaller pulleys, the metal shims must be installed correctly, or the rubber wedge could fail.

Customer is responsible for checking the splices on a consistent basis for correct torque during splice operation. Do not reuse hardware (bolts, nylock or oval nuts) when reinstalling splices. Please always read Maxi-Lift Installation Instructions and apply template tape when installing splices for correct installation. See website for more details.

Do not use Maxi-Lift splices on any type of belt manlifts.

WARNING: DO NOT USE ANY MAXI-SPLICE ON MANLIFTS!

Please read all instructions before installing any Maxi-Splice product.  Instructions can be found at www.maxilift.com.  Failure to follow installation instructions may result in splice failure.  As with any belt splice, continuous, regular inspections are required or failure can occur.

Never mix Maxi-Splice products on a single installation.  Reduced or uneven clamping pressure may occur compromising splice integrity and could result in splice failure. 

Maxi-Lift neither solicits nor recommends the use of any Maxi-Splice belt clamp for splicing man-lift belts.  Maxi-Splices were neither designed for nor tested for this purpose.  Any installation of a Maxi-Splice product for this purpose may result in splice failure causing serious bodily harm or even death.  Do not use on steel cable belts.

Do not re-use nylon insert lock nuts when reinstalling Maxi-Splices.  Please use new nylock nuts for reinstallation.  Replacements are available from Maxi-Lift. 

For applications exceeding 250° F, nylon insert lock nuts may not be used, as this temperature range exceeds the manufacturer’s threshold for nylon integrity.  Compression locking nuts should be utilized instead. 

While the AB and CI Maxi-Splice may be used on wing pulleys, they may contribute to wear on the backside of the belt at the splice.  It is the user’s responsibility to inspect the splice at regular maintenance intervals to prevent failure.  Noise may also be heard as the splice contacts the wings of the pulley.
