Identify the first three loop pairs to be laced at the crimped
fittings as shown in Figure 2a. Make sure the loops are not
tangled. It is important that the loop pairs are correctly matched to
ensure maximum gripping strength. Then tape both crimped fittings
to the cable or waveguide as shown in Figure 2b. This will align
the loop pairs of the hoisting grip and aid in lacing.

Fold the lace in half to form a crease at the center. Starting at
the top, pass the lace through the first loop pair so that the crease
is between them as shown in Figure 3a. Cross the lace ends and
pass them through the second loop pair from the underside and
pull at right angles in the same way as lacing a shoe
(see Figure 3b).

Continue lacing so that the seam is straight and the lace
is pulled so that the space between both sides of the seam
is no greater than the spaces of the mesh next to the loop.
See Figure 4. Do not skip any loop pairs of the grip when lacing;
this will weaken the hoisting grip. The grip can be compressed
from bottom to top to simplify lacing.
