Note
Single cross-brace tubes are used between the two truss towers closest the ends of the main
auger tube, and two cross-brace tubes are required between all other truss tower sets.
d. Install the remaining truss adjust tube.
6. Tighten all truss, tube, and cross-brace bolts and nuts, but do not tighten the 1” hex nuts on the truss adjust
tubes.
7. Install pairs of cross-brace clamps where the cross-brace tubes cross in an ”X” pattern using two 7/16” x 1-1/
4” bolts and locknuts.
8. Adjust the “outer” 1” hex nuts on the truss adjust tube until the truss tubes are tight and the auger tube is
straight (i.e. appears flat and well aligned, and does not have any noticeable bow).
9. Rotate the loose “inner” 1” hex nuts on the truss adjust tubes toward the “outer” nut until they are locked
tightly against their respective truss anchor brackets.
