GUY ASSEMBLY
Cut eight pieces of guy cable
two pieces
and two pieces
(90”). Assemble
hex nut (NO 1) onto each of the
Turn the nut all the way to the eye; as far as it will go with light pressure only.
These will be used to secure the
after guy tensioning.
Install
into the top holes of the vertical guy support
one eye each direction. Install one
in
the top hole of each of the four guy mounts
with the eyes towards the center of the boom.
Thread a hex nut
about six turns onto each
Thread four
(24”) guy
into the upper eyebolts, wrap
or more times and cut off the excess.
Thread remaining four cables 609M (24”) guy cables into each of the lower eyebolts, wrap it five or more times and cut off
the excess. Install an egg insulator
on each
(24”) guy cable leaving only
between
and egg
insulator. Wrap and cut off excess.
Using the remaining
(83”) guy cable, thread one end through the top egg insulator of the inner cable. Wrap
and cut off excess. Thread the remaining end through the insulator on the cable nearest the center of the boom.
Pull tight
enough to remove slack only. Wrap. DO NOT cut off excess. Ref. Figure 5.
Using the
(90”) cable, thread one end into each insulator of the remaining
(90”) cables, wrap and cut
off excess. Install an egg insulator onto the lower
(90”) cable, wrap and cut offexcess. Using the upper
(90”)
cables, thread it through the insulator of the lower
(90”) cable. Pull tight enough to remove slack only, , wrap and
cut off excess.
Return to inner cable, unwrap the uncut cable and retighten to remove any slack only wrap and cut off excess. Tension
guys by tightening the nuts on the ends of the eyebolts. Secure with the nuts on the opposite end near the eye.
Line the elements up with the use of a level or any other workable method. Double check the spacing dimensions
and make sure the elements are centered in the boom-to-element clamps. Tighten all hardware taking care to line the elements
up with the use of a level. Check your measurements and make sure the elements are centered on the boom.
