8. For 71’ augers only (Figure 3.15):
a. Fasten short truss anchor (A) to lower auger tube with 7/16” x 1" bolts and
locknuts.
b. Fasten high truss support bracket to mount (C) on bottom of center tube
with 7/16” x 1" bolts and locknuts.
c. Attach eyebolt to one end of truss cable with two 5/16” cable clamps, then
insert eyebolt into short truss anchor and thread on nut a short way.
d. Pull truss cable over truss support bracket, around upper truss anchor (B)
and back over truss support bracket to short truss anchor, holding it loosely
in place with one cable clamp at upper truss anchor and 2 cable clamps at
truss support bracket.
e. Place other eyebolt into short truss anchor and thread nut on a short way.
f. Insert other end of truss cable through this eyebolt. Pull out all slack and
secure with two 5/16” cable clamps.
g. Tighten eyebolt to take remaining slack out of truss cable and adjust
tension to keep auger tube straight. Tighten cable clamps on truss support
bracket and upper truss anchor.
Important: Once auger is fully assembled, adjust truss cables on all units (because of initial
stretching). Cables may also require adjustment for side alignment.
