The Front Support - Lindsay Universal TAU-II Installation Manual

The Front Support

The Front Support is different from a bulkhead in that
it has polymer front support Legs and it doesn't attach
to the cables underneath the system. The Front
Support also has metal plates called Collision Plates,
attached in the impact area on the front of the
assembly. The Front Support can be built in different
variations depending on the system size.
Using a Front Support:
(parallel and combination systems)
Parallel and combination systems use the Front
Support (Figure 4). A tapered system designed with
a large nose section may use a modified 1X, 2X or
3X bulkhead for the Front Support (Figure 5).
The polymer front support legs bolt directly to the
bottom of the Front Support using the hardware
provided. All fasteners use a lock washer or Locktite.
Figure 4. Use the Front Support for a parallel or
combination systems.

Using a modified Bulkhead for Front Support
(Tapered systems)
An X style bulkhead can also be used as a Front
Panel Support. The X style bulkheads are
assembled according to the specific system
requirements (Figure 5). Refer to the system drawing
for the front bulkhead size needed. The Wing
Assemblies slide over the ends of the bulkhead
weldment and adjust to the width needed.
