Installation
Installation requires bolting the ends of the cable to the
platform with the supplied drilled bolt, castle nut, and split
pin. The drilled bolts only need to be tightened enough to
fully engage all of the threads of the castle nut and then
further just enough to install the split pin. The intermediate
supports are also bolted to the platform. The intermediate
supports are adjusted to an angle slightly below horizontal
to improve the movement of the transfastener. Ensure all
bolts and locknuts are tightened properly. The cable is
then tensioned until the tension indicator spins and the
locking pins are then installed in the turnbuckle to hold it
in place.
