CM106B Tripod
6.1.3 Installing the Optional Guy Kit
Part 29813, CM106B Guy Kit, can be ordered separately for areas that
experience high wind speeds (Section 5, Specifications). Install the guy
brackets to the mast as shown in FIGURE 6-5. Attach the three guy wires to
the guy collar and slide the collar over the mast so that the collar butts against
the brackets.
FIGURE 6-5. Guy collar
On the end of each guy line is a case and hardware to attach to the turnbuckles.
Unscrew the turnbuckles so that only 1/2 in. of thread extends beyond the
inside of the turnbuckle body. Attach the case and turnbuckle to the tripod leg
as shown in FIGURE 6-6. Loosen the two clamp nuts, and remove the slack in
the guy line by feeding the load end of the guy wire through the case while
pulling up on the free end.
After the slack has been removed from the guy lines, tighten the clamp nuts,
and then tighten the turnbuckles to the desired tension.
