of each frame facing toward the outside.
b. Position the Lower Cross Brace with the Weldment Bar facing toward the top and
align with the third set of holes in the Frames.
c. Position the upper Cross Braces to align with the next set of holes in the Frames and then
approximately every 8’ thereafter.
d. Attach all of the Cross Braces to both Tower Frames using two
3/8-16 x 0.750 Hex Head Capscrews in each side.
The Capscrews attach directly to a welded nut on the inside of the Cross Braces.
