Connecting Guy Wires to Concrete
Blocks
1. For the guy wires 2 and 3, connect the U-bolt (number 4 in Figure
24 on page 61) to the eye nut (5) installed on the concrete block.
Slide the strap (3) onto the U-bolt and thread the nuts.
2. For the guy wire 1, connect the U-bolt to the eye nut with an
additional bow shackle to enable easy releasing of the wire. The
strap is used the same way as with the guy wires 2 and 3.
3. Guide the guy wire through the strap (3) around the wedge (9) and
back through the strap. Pull the loose wire through the strap and
secure it with wire clips.
4. After assembling the wire clips properly, tension the guy wire by
tightening the nuts to slide the strap until the initial tension of the
guy wires is sufficient.
NOTE When tensioning the guy wires, make sure that the mast remains straight
and that all the guy wires are equally tensioned.
5.
Finally, place the black and yellow cable shrouds around the guy
wires. There is one package of shrouds for each wire. Place the
extra guy wire inside the cable shrouds.
