After the anchoring epoxy is properly cured, install a
nut and washer on each of the anchor bolts extending
through the base plates of the Backstop and Front
Cable Anchor plate.
For PC Concrete foundations, torque the nuts to
120 ft-lbs (160 N-m).
For Asphaltic Concrete foundations, torque the
nuts to 5 ft-lbs (8 N-m).

Space Diaphragms between Anchors
Step 4.
The Diaphragms should be spaced (one by one)
evenly between the Front Cable Anchor and the
Backstop. It is not important that they be exactly
spaced at this point as they can easily be moved into
the desired final assembly position when necessary.
