Depending on the position of the cables in reference
to the Wide Flange Backstop positioning, either an
independent rear cable anchor (Figure 18) or a
backstop mounted rear cable anchor (Figure 19) will
be used. The independent rear cable anchor stands
alone and requires no assembly. (Reference Step 1
and Step 2 for layout and anchorage specifications).
The backstop mounted rear cable anchor bolts
between the flanges of the Wide Flange Backstop.
They are mounted to the interior of the system. All
fasteners use a lock washer or Locktite. When the
front support bulkhead and backstop utilize the same
bulkhead, the rear cable anchors are mounted to the
backstops. When the front support bulkhead and
backstop bulkheads are different, the system is
supplied with independent rear cable anchors
mounted on the pad surface.
Some systems require a Lateral Cable Support Kit.
The Lateral Cable Support Kit contains Lateral
Support Mounts that attach to the backstop assembly
of required systems. They bolt to the front of the
Wide Flange Backstop Weldments in the lowest hole
set. If backstop mounted rear cable anchors are
used, one of the bolts will be shared. All fasteners
use a lock washer or Locktite.
Refer to the System Configuration Chart in
Appendix “A” to determine if Lateral Cable
supports are required.
If the Wing Assemblies of the particular backstop are
adjusted to one of their two most extended positions
(54” [1370mm], 60” [1525mm], 78” [1980mm], 84”
[2130mm], and 102” [2290mm] backstops), Wing
Braces and Spacers are required (Figure 19). The
Wing Braces attach to the Wing Assemblies and the
Backstop Block-outs on the top and bottom. The
Spacers level their mounting surfaces. All fasteners
use a lock washer or Locktite.
