4. Before tightening end clamps make sure there is no slack in the strap. Tighten clamps to 60 in/lbs.

5. If installing the inner radius strap at a 45 degree diagonal position (normal mode Drawings 5A and 6A), prepare diagonal strap for installation by slightly bending the ends with the clamps to approximately 45.
   

6. Position & install clamps so they are spaced between the clamps of the outside radius support and the No-Hub couplings. Do not tighten.
