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 tubes.

(See Figure 6G.)

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 prevent the adjustable braces
from slipping.

(See Figure 6H.)
