1. Locate the eyebolt anchors for the cable. Refer to Figure 6.6.
Figure 6.6 Cable Adjustment
2. Tighten the nut on the eyebolt until there is enough tension in the cable as to
keep the tube straight.
3. If the proper cable tension cannot be obtained before the eyebolt runs out of
adjustment:
• Support auger tube.
• Loosen the eyebolts but do not remove the nut.
• Loosen the clamps on the cable on both sides.
• Shorten the cable until there is tension on the cable and tighten the
clamps.
• Return to step 2.
WARNING
Before doing anything to the trussing, ensure
auger tube is properly supported by overhead
crane or other proper lifting device.
