See Table 3.9. for a list of parts required to install the X130-84/X130-94 truss
towers and truss tubes, as well as for figure references that apply to the
diagrams below.
• For the X130-84 models, see Figure 3.14 and Figure 3.15.
• For the X130-94 models, see Figure 3.16 and Figure 3.17.
Note: Due to rigidity of the tubular trussing, X130-84 and X130-94 truss tubes should
be tightened to provide only a small upward bow (approximately 1”) at the auger
tube spout end.
Note: When assembling the truss system, do not fully tighten any bolts until specifi-
cally instructed to do so.
1. Attach pairs of low and high truss tower brackets to the truss-attach
brackets welded to auger tube, using four of 7/16” x 1-1/4” bolts and locknuts
per pair.
2. Thread a 1” hex nut as far as possible onto the threaded rod end of a long
adjuster tube.
3. Insert the threaded rod end of the long adjuster tube into the truss tube
anchor, and bolt the opposite end to a truss joiner plate that has been first
bolted to the adjacent low truss tower.
4. Thread an second 1” nut a short distance onto the threaded rod end of the
long adjuster tube.
5. Work from one end of the tube toward the centre and install:
a. Install tube truss joiner plates between truss tower pairs.
Note: Truss towers connect to their truss joiner plate using a 1/2” x 1-1/2” bolt and
locknut.
Note: Truss joiner plates must be oriented correctly when installed. Always ensure that
the three 7/16” bolt holes should be closest to the discharge spout, and the 5/8”
bolt hole should be closest to the boot.
b. long tubes between truss joiner plates bolted between high truss pairs;
Note: Truss tubes connect to truss joiner plates using three 7/16'' x 1-3/4'' bolts and
locknuts where there are three bolt holes on the end of the tube, and with a
single 5/8'' x 2'' bolt and locknut where there is a single bolt hole at the end of the
tube. A four-hole truss adjuster plate is required.
c. cross-brace tubes between truss joiner plates and tabs between truss
tower pairs (keep cross-brace bolts loose until Step 13.)
Note: A single cross-brace tube is positioned between the low truss towers and
adjacent high truss towers. Two cross braces tubes are required between two
adjacent high truss towers.
Note: Cross-brace tubes use 1/2” x 1-1/2” bolts and locknuts at the truss joiner plate
and at the tab between truss tower pairs.
6. Install the tube adjust plate, and attach the short adjuster tube to it as follows:
a. bolt the tube adjust plate between the high truss tower bracket pair (see
the diagram for your specific model);
