
7/16" x 1-3/4" bolts and locknuts
(Figure 3.9).
3.8. TRUSS
See Figure 3.10 and Figure 3.11.
Note: Two 3/8” cable clamps are supplied to secure truss cables to the eyebolts as
described below. All other applications require 5/16” cable clamps.
1. Fasten lower truss anchor to bracket.
• use two 7/16” x 1-1/4” bolts and locknuts.
2. Fasten two truss support brackets to centre tube with two 7/16” x 1-1/4” bolts
and locknuts each (see Figure 3.10 for correct placement).

The 71’ auger requires a high truss support center bracket located between the
two standard support brackets. Fasten with two 7/16” x 1-1/4” bolts and locknuts
(see Figure 3.11 for correct placement).
3. Attach eyebolt to one end of truss cable with two 5/16” cable clamps. Insert
eyebolt into lower truss anchor and thread on nut a short way.
• use a 3/8” cable clamp.
4. Pull truss cable over truss support brackets, around upper truss anchor and
back over truss support brackets to lower truss anchor, holding it loosely in
place with one 5/16” cable clamp at upper truss anchor, and two 5/16” cable
clamps at each truss support bracket.
Important: Do not tighten cable clamps at this time.
5. The upper end of augers equipped with truss cables should have an upward
bow before being placed on the transport undercarriage (auger tube will
straighten when fully assembled). Place supports under the discharge end
until upward bow is correct.
