back over the element end. Refer to Figure 7. Now slip a 7/16" caplug over
the element and rope. The rope inside the element will dampen vibrations

elements. Select the 2" caplugs and place one on each boom end. Check all
element spacings and dimensions and tighten all of the bolts before
continuing.
