Eave Adjustable Braces

The eave adjustable braces must be attached at this time. An eave adjustable brace is comprised of
one large diameter tube and two (2) smaller diameter tubes.

(See Figure 5F.)

Slide the smaller tubes

inside the larger tubes and attach one smaller tube to the top of the ladder extension rail. Adjust the other
smaller tube so the bottom of the flattened tube reaches the roof panel. Field drill four (4) 5/16" holes
through both large and small tubes and bolt together using 1/4" x 1-1/2" bolts and nuts. This will prevent
the adjustable braces from slipping.

(See Figure 5G.)
