Installation
Installation requires bolting the ends of the cable to the plat-
form with the supplied drilled bolt, castle nut, and split pin.
The drilled bolts only need to be tightened enough to fully
engage all of the threads of the castle nut and then further just
enough to install the split pin. The intermediate supports are
also bolted to the platform. The intermediate supports are
adjusted to an angle slightly below horizontal to improve the
movement of the transfastener. Ensure all bolts and locknuts
are tightened properly. The cable is then tensioned until the
tension indicator spins and the locking pins are then installed
in the turnbuckle to hold it in place.
