connect stiffener tie rods to stiffeners
Install the stiffener tie rods between the
trusses alternating the holes for each rod (fig.
c and e, page
29). Thread a nut on to each
end of the rod. Insert the rod through the
holes in the stiffener and truss. Thread a
2nd nut on the end of the rod and snug this
nut up to put tension on the rod. Install all
rods, then securely tighten all nuts (fig. d).
