3. Setup and Operating Instructions

The Pico 7079A tie wraps are designed for straightforward application. No complex setup is required.

Application Steps:

1. Prepare Items: Gather the cables, wires, or other items you wish to bundle or secure. Ensure they are aligned as desired.
2. Wrap the Tie: Take one Pico 7079A tie wrap. Wrap the long tail end of the tie around the items to be secured.
3. Insert Tail: Locate the self-locking head of the tie wrap. Insert the pointed, curved tail end through the opening in the head. The curved tip assists in faster insertion.
4. Pull Tight: Pull the tail end through the head until the tie wrap is snug around the bundled items. The self-locking mechanism will engage, preventing the tie from loosening.
5. Secure: Continue pulling until the desired tightness is achieved. Do not overtighten to avoid damaging the secured items.
6. Trim Excess (Optional): If there is a significant amount of excess tail, you may snip it off using a pair of scissors or a dedicated tie wrap tool (e.g., Pico 0695PT, sold separately) for a neater finish.

4. Maintenance and Storage

Pico 7079A nylon tie wraps require minimal maintenance. Once applied, they are designed for permanent or semi-permanent securing.

General Care:

• Cleaning: If necessary, the tie wraps can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may degrade the nylon material.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect applied tie wraps for any signs of wear, damage, or degradation, especially in environments with extreme temperatures or UV exposure. Replace if integrity is compromised.

Storage:

Store unused tie wraps in their original packaging or a sealed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This helps preserve the material's integrity and flexibility.

5. Troubleshooting

Given the simple nature of tie wraps, extensive troubleshooting is rarely needed. However, consider the following if issues arise:

• Tie Wrap Not Securing: Ensure the tail end is fully inserted into the head and pulled through. Check for any obstructions in the locking mechanism.
• Tie Wrap Breaking During Application: This may indicate that the tensile strength limit (120 lbs) is being exceeded, or the tie wrap is being pulled too aggressively. Ensure the correct size and strength tie wrap is selected for the application.
• Degradation Over Time: Exposure to harsh UV light, extreme temperatures, or certain chemicals can degrade nylon. Ensure the tie wraps are suitable for the intended environment.
