8) Reinstall and Adjust the Alignment Cables

There are four top cables (two for each bay). Reattach
the alignment cables as shown in Figure 37. Measure
the diagonals of each bay and adjust the cables so that
the diagonal measurements in each bay are the same
(A = B ± 5 mm [3/16"], C = D ± 5 mm [3/16"]). Lock each
cable in place using the second nut as a “jam nut” (see
Detail 37).

9) Replace Side-Guides

The Side-Guides must be inspected and replaced if dam-
aged. The Side-Guides are sacrificial and can be easily
attached to their respective mounts. Side-Guides are nec-
essary for proper System alignment during an impact
and must be in place to ensure proper performance char-
acteristics during System operation in an impact.
