• Attach eyebolts to the ends of the 36’ cable [20090] with two 3/8” cable
clamps [18990], using about 10" (25.4 cm) - 12" (30.5 cm) of cable.
Tighten securely.
• Insert each eyebolt into a separate turnbuckles, and secure by threading
on a 1/2” locknut fully onto the eyebolt shaft, but not further than 1/4”.
8. Starting at the lower tube, pull the 85’6” cable:
• over the low and high truss towers (fasten loosely with 5/16” cable
clamps)
• under the tube and around the cable return bracket at the upper tube (fas-
ten loosely with a 5/16” cable clamp)
• back over the truss towers on the opposite side (fasten loosely with 5/16”
cable clamps), providing equal lengths of cable on both sides of the tube.
Important: The 85’ 6” cable must be installed on the outside of the high (middle) truss tower.
9. Insert an eyebolt into the unconnected side of each of the turnbuckles (whose
other sides are connected to the 36’ cable), and secure by threading on a 1/2”
locknut fully onto the eyebolt shaft, but not further than 1/4”.
10. Thread the end of each side of the 85’6” cable through the appropriate
turnbuckle eyebolt, and pull the cable snug. Double-back the cable and
secure in place with 2 cable clamps doubling-back about 12”

(30.5 cm) of cable.
Note: If there isn’t enough cable, loosen the clamps on the opposite eyebolt and adjust
the cable. Retighten clamps.
Important: Truss cables must be tightened to provide a 1” upward bow on the spout end.
Blocks and shims can be used to elevate the spout to help create the required
bow while tightening the truss cables, but the 1” bow is measured with the spout
end unsupported.
11. Tighten the eyebolts on the second (long) cable run evenly to take the
remaining slack out of the truss cable. Once this cable run is tightened,
repeat for the first (short) cable run.
12. Check for proper side-to-side alignment and then tighten the cable clamps on
the cable bridges and the cable return brackets.
