INSTALL THE X130-74 TRUSS CABLES
There are two cable runs on the X130-74, a long cable run between the upper
tube and the lower tube, and a short cable run between the lower tube and the
upper middle tube:
• The first (short) run is made up of a single 73’ cable.
• The second (long) run is made up of two separate cables: one 85’ 6” long
and one 36’ long.
See Table 3.8. for a list of parts required to install the X130-74 truss cables. See
Figure 3.13 for a detailed diagram.
Note: X130-74 truss cables should be tightened to provide a 1” upward bow in the
auger tube, as measured at the auger tube spout end. 
1. Ensure that the tube is supported by at least 3 stands (one at each end and
one in the middle).
2. Shim the stands (use wood blocks) at the spout end approximately 
7” (17.8 cm) higher than the other stands to provide the required curve.
3. For the first (short) cable run, attach an eyebolt to each end of the 73’ truss
cable using two 3/8” cable clamps, doubling-back about 
12” (30.5 cm) of cable.
4. Connect one of the eyebolts to one side of the truss cable attach bracket
using a 1/2” locknut threaded fully onto the eyebolt shaft, but not further than
1/4”.
5. Pull the cable:
• over the high (middle) truss tower,
• under the tube and around the middle cable return bracket,
• back over the middle cable bridge,
• and back to the truss cable attach bracket
6. Connect the second eyebolt on the remaining end of the cable to the other
side of the truss cable attach bracket using a 1/2” locknut threaded fully onto
the eyebolt shaft, but not further than 1/4”.
7. For the second (long) cable run:
• Thread the 36’ cable through the cable guide on the underside of the
lower tube, and pull the cable through until there is an equal length of
cable on each side of the tube.
