Step 25
To tighten the cables, lifting the discharge end of the tubes is required. Place a lifting strap 2 feet from the end
of the auger and lift the tubes approximately 3 feet. This will cause the tubes to curve upwards. Place a punch
or pry bar into the eye of the eyebolt to hold it straight. Tighten the nut on the eyebolt about 3" or until the
cable feels stiff. Do this for all the cables.

Step 26
When all the eyebolts are tightened it is now time to tighten the truss cable clamps. Tighten each cable clamp
that is mounted to each truss evenly. After the clamps are tightened, stabilize the auger and lower the discharge
end of the auger. Once lowered, the auger should have a bow of 3" to 4" off of the assembly stand.
