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 5-6. Loosen the Phillips screw, and remove the slack in
the guy line by feeding the load end of the guy wire through the wedge while
pulling up on the dead end. If the load end of the guy wire can’t be fed through
the case, use a small flat screwdriver to push the wedge forward into the case to
disengage wedge.
After the slack has been removed from the guy lines, tighten the Phillips
screws and tighten the turnbuckles to tension the guy lines.
