When assembling the truss system, do not tighten any bolts until all compo-
nents are in place. Refer to Figure 3.18 on page 36 for correct positioning of the
truss components.

1. Loosely attach the 2 low pairs of truss towers (D) and 57 (111') high pairs of
truss towers (C) to the truss-attach brackets welded to auger tube with 7/16”
x 1-1/4” bolts and locknuts.
2. Loosely join the ends of two 10' (3.05 m) truss tubes (A) and two crossbrace
tubes (B) between the top end of each pair of high truss towers using 1/2” x
2-3/4” bolts and locknuts.
3. Thread a 3/4” nut onto each adjust-tube, then insert threaded end into truss-
anchors on lower and upper auger tubes. Join the adjust tubes (E) and 10'
truss tubes (A) at the two low (D) truss towers with 1/2” x 2-3/4” bolts and
locknuts.
Note: A single crossbrace tube is positioned between the low (D) truss towers and
adjacent high (C) truss towers.
4. Loosely join all the crossbrace tubes to tabs welded to top of truss-attach
brackets using 1/2” x 1-1/2” bolts and locknuts.
Note: Attach these tubes to same side of tab as they are attached to the truss tower.
5. Tighten all bolts and nuts.

6. Install the 5 (111') pairs of x-clamps where the crossbrace tubes meet with
two 7/16” x 1" bolts and locknuts on each.
7. Thread a second 3/4” nut on the end of the adjust tube, then adjust the
threaded adjust tubes until upper and lower auger tubes have a slight upward
bow. Lock the adjust nuts against bracket.
