NOTE: Avoid unreeling and uncoiling methods that are likely to provide kinks. Such IMPROPER procedures should be strenuously avoided in order to prevent the occurrence of loops. These loops, when pulled taut, will inevitably result in kinks. No matter how a kink develops, it will damage strands and wires, resulting in a kinked section that must be cut out. Proper and careful handling will keep the wire rope free from kinks.
