[TowerTalk] Crank-up Tower Guy Tension

[David Jordan]

I've use a TRI-EX CT-100. Its a 100ft  tower with three sets of guys.  No spec on how much tension to apply to the guy cable.  Anyone have thoughts on the amount of tension for these guys?  The main crank up cable is 1/4" or 3/8"( I think) rated at 8200lbs the tower sections have two each cables that I think are 3/16".  The original manual doesn't provide tension requirements.

Thoughts welcome.
