1.5.3 Installing the Optional Guy Kit

PN 27117 CM106 Guy Kit can be ordered separately for areas that experience
high wind speeds (Section

1.2). Install the guy brackets to the mast as shown in

Figure

1.5-5. Attach the three guy wires to the guy collar and slide the collar over

the mast so that the collar butts against the brackets.

On the end of each guy line is a case and hardware to attach to the turnbuckles.
Unscrew the turnbuckles so that only 1/2 in of thread extends beyond the inside
of the turnbuckle body. Attach the case and turnbuckle to the tripod leg as
shown in Fig

1.5-6. Loosen the Phillips screw, and remove the slack in the guy

line by feeding the load end of the guy wire through the wedge while pulling
up on the dead end. If the load end of the guy wire can’t be fed through the
case, use a small flat screwdriver to push the wedge forward into the case to
disengage wedge.

After the slack has been removed from the guy lines, tighten the Phillips
screws and tighten the turnbuckles to tension the guy lines.
