INSTALL X130-84/X130-94 CABLE TRUSSING
See Table 3.10. for a list of parts required to install the X130-84/X130-94 truss
cables, as well as for figure references that apply to the Figure 3.18 (X130-84
shown, X130-94 is similar).
1. Attach eyebolts to both ends of a truss cable with two 3/8” cable clamps using
about 10" (25.4 cm) - 12" (30.5 cm) of cable. Tighten securely.
2. Thread the cable through the cable return bracket 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. Secure the cable to the cable return bracket with a
5/16” cable clamp.
3. Insert the cable eyebolts into separate turnbuckle bodies and secure with 1/2”
locknuts threaded fully onto the eyebolt shaft, but not further than 1/4”.
4. Attach eyebolts to the unconnected ends of both turnbuckle bodies, and
secure with 1/2” locknuts threaded fully onto the eyebolt shaft, but not further
than 1/4”.
5. Thread the second cable through the cable return bracket on the underside of
the upper tube, and pull the cable through until there is an equal length of
cable on each side of the tube.
6. Pull the ends of both cables over the truss cable supports, loosely attaching
the truss cables to each truss cable support with a 5/16” cable clamps.
7. Thread the unconnected ends of the second cable through the unconnected
eyebolts on the turnbuckle bodies, pull tight, and then secure with two
3/8” cable clamps. Tighten securely.
8. Tighten the cables by adjusting the eyebolt locknuts. These cables must be
very tight.
9. Tighten the 5/16” cable clamps at the lower tube and upper tube cable return
brackets.
10. If the tube has a curve to one side, tighten the turnbuckle on the opposite
side, while loosening the other turnbuckle slightly if required.
11. Tighten the cable clamps on all cable supports and arms.
