STEP 10 Add Stabilizer Rods. After the Intermediate Rail is in position and securely fastened to the Dual Rod Brackets,
rigidity is added to the structure with the Stabilizer Tie Rods.
The Stabilizers must prevent both lateral and axial movement. The engineering drawings should reflect this type
of arrangement. An Axial Stabilizer should be located at a minimum of every 8'. The same eight foot rule holds
true for the Lateral Stabilizer Tie Rods. (see top view illustration.)

After securing each stabilizer to the ceiling above and to the Intermediate Rail, turn the Threaded Tie Rods to
remove any free play. Tighten each locking hex nut to complete the procedure. The Stabilizers may require
periodic adjustment in order to compensate for structural shifting.
