Connect the metal loop strut to the sweep couplers
•
Once the sweep couplers have been attached to the sweep material then it
’
s time to attach the met-
al loop strut (PN 10
-
1701
-
01) in the orientation shown in
Figure 4.21
. Start off by attaching the met-
al loop strut to the
170”
pole assembly. Insert two of the 6
-
32 x
2”
socket head screw (PN 60
-
0186)
(no washer) through the top of the sweep clamp and place the metal loop strut on the bottom clamp
in the recess centered on the clamp. Place the screws so that the threaded portion of the screw is
facing downward as shown in
Figure 4.22
(The sweep has been turned upside down to better por-
tray this step).
Apply anti
-
seize to the threads
and screw the nylock nuts on. Tighten using a
5/16”
wrench/socket to tighten the nut and a
5/64”
Allen Key to hold the screw. Tighten until the
nylock nuts are fully engaged and contacting the metal loop strut.
•
Once you have the metal loop strut attached to the sweep couplers on the
170”
pole assembly side,
you will need to bend the sweep material/remnant pole assembly until the metal loop strut holes line
up with the holes on the sweep clamp on the remnant pole side as shown in
Figure 4.23
. Repeat the
previous step to attach the metal loop strut to the other sweep clamp set.
•
Finish tightening the four screws on the outside corners of the plastic coupler. Tighten evenly, in an
automobile X type pattern as shown in
Figure 4.24
. If you do not tighten evenly, you may break the
fastener. Once the outsides are firmly tight, tighten the two screws that hold the metal loop strut in
place.
Figure 4.25
shows the suggested method for tightening the screws.
•
When completely tightened,
THE SWEEP COUPLER HALVES SHOULD HAVE GAP OF ABOUT
5/16”
–
3/8”
, as shown in
Figure 4.26
. This gap is not critical as the coupler is mostly to keep the bracket in
place properly.
IT IS BEST TO LET THE SCREWS SIT FOR A WHILE (15
-
30MIN) AND TIGHTEN IN
INTERVALS IN ORDER TO ALLOW THE PLASTIC CLAMP MATERIAL TO RE
-
FORM.
This also will re-
duce the chance of snapping a screw.
