U n i v e r s a l T A U - I I
P.C.B. Backstop
Push the threaded end of the cable through the hole
in the anchor tab on the left side of the Compact
Backstop. Install the nut on the end of the adjusting
screw.
NOTE:
Do not thread the nut beyond the end of the
adjusting screw at this time. The nut will be tightened
later.
Guide Cable to Front Cable Anchor
Attach the other end of the Guide Cable to the left
side of the Front Cable Anchor by first removing the
pin from the clevis (shackle). Place the clevis over
the anchor eye and re-install the pin through the eye,
making sure that the handle portion of the pin is on
the inside of the anchor assembly. Firmly tighten the
pin.
For asphalt installations, the cable and clevis
pin have been attached in Step 3 (Page 12).

Thread the second cable
Repeat the process outlined in steps 6, 7, and 8, for
the other cable. Install the second cable along the
right side of the system without crossing the first
cable.
Attach cables to bottom of Diaphragms
Use the Cable Guide Assembly blocks to attach the
Guide Cable to the bottom cross rail of the
Diaphragms. The cable blocks consist of two
grooved halves that, when put together, provide a
path for the Guide Cable to move through.
It is easiest to install the Cable Guides by first placing
the two halves of the blocks together around the
cable. Next, hold the blocks and cable up to the plate
on the bottom of the Diaphragm. Push the bolt from
the top down through the plate and then through the
blocks.
NOTE: See Page 28, Figure 9 for cable guide
positions for wide flange systems.
