    Users must ensure that lateral loads not be introduced to the tubing while the system is under load. Likewise, any damage to the Vector Tube can act as a weak point that can initiate compression failure in the tube during a dynamic event. Users must inspect the Vector before and after every use to ensure that the Vector Tube is free from any damage.

  • Page 6: Working Loads

    Eccentric loading (forces not in the plane defined by the Vector Tube) will impart bending moment forces to the Vector Tube that could cause the tube to buckle in a dynamic event. It is The Vector Edge and Load Management System has been through extensive lab and field recommended that the user minimize eccentric loading whenever possible.

    Include contact information. Due to the complexity of the Vector, if one of the main components of the system appears to be damaged, the entire system is suspect and must be inspected by the manufacturer. As a result, replacement parts for these components are not available without first sending them to SMC for inspection.
