01
TAP URGENCY: MODERATE—clock choke can tighten progressively as it advances
02
Release immediately when partner taps; the advancing mechanics can accelerate locking
03
Apply pressure gradually rather than trying to lock position all at once
04
Communication helps partner understand progression of mechanical tightening
05
Ensure adequate space to prevent collision injuries during entry and positioning
