THE CONSTRUCTION SHOULD FOLLOW THE GUIDANCE IN FIGURE 5A.  IF YOU DEPART
FROM THIS APPROACH, YOUR CURVATURE MIGHT BE DIFFERENT AND IT MIGHT, IN
TURN, REQUIRE DIFFERENT VERTICAL CENTER POST POSITIONS FOR THE WIRE
TERMINALS.  YOU WILL NEED 139 INCHES IN LENGTH FOR EACH SPREADER.  SLIP
FIVE STAINLESS HOSE CLAMPS ON THE SPREADERS AS SHOWN IN FIGURE 5B.  THESE
CLAMPS WILL BE USED TO ANCHOR THE WIRE ASSEMBLIES TO THE SPREADERS AND THE
EXACT LOCATIONS WILL BE ADJUSTED LATER IN STEP SIX.  PAINTING THE SPREADERS
WITH A PRIMER AND YOUR CHOICE OF COLORS FOR UV PROTECTION IS A GOOD IDEA.
FIGURE 5B SHOWS THE SPREADERS READY FOR INSTALLATION ON THE BASE PLATE.
STEP THREE CENTER POST THE CENTER POST PROVIDES THE ANCHOR FOR THE DRIVER
