36、of maximum diameter, as marked on the rope clamp, check that the rope or accessory cord cannot be removed sideways. Check also, by pulling by hand, that the rope clamp locks in one direction and can slip in the opposite direction. Repeat the checks using a rope or accessory cord of minimum diameter
