MOUNTING THE FIBERGLASS SPREADERS
17. Mount the black fiberglass sweep spreaders (PN 10-1503-21) to the sweep couplers. There is a
concave mounting area on each side of the plastic couplers. Position the fiberglass spreader so that
the holes align with the clam shell couplers as shown in figure 6.10. When installing the fiberglass
spreader, you will want the spreader to be underneath the plastic coupler as shown in figure 6.11.
The spreaders will be longer than the couplers on each side of the loop. This is done on purpose to
ensure plenty of fiberglass material is on each side of the screw.
18. Insert 2qty 6-32 x 2” socket head screw (PN 60-0186) through each of the coupler halves and the
fiberglass rod. This screw must be placed so that the Nylock nut (PN 60-0014) is resting on the fiber-
glass material and the screw head are resting inside the concave groove on the top of the sweep cou-
pler. Refer to figures 6.10 and 6.11 for detail. The screws are longer than necessary so that you can
get the nut on in the initial stages.
19. Tighten the Nylock nuts firmly. Be sure to use anti-seize on these screws or they will likely gall
and have to be replaced.
20. Repeat the previous steps on the other side of sweep tube.
