Installation of Longitudinal Struts <br /> Longitudinal stabilization can be combined economically with the Xi2 Lateral System. Combining LSD struts with the <br /> pad for the lateral system saves time and material costs. When combining the lateral and longitudinal systems, use the <br /> placement directions for the lateral system. <br /> Installation of Longitudinal Struts <br /> 1. .Identify the number of systems to be used on the home <br /> Npl'1'1e using the chart below. <br /> rad p w ' 2. Clear all organic matter and debris from the pad site. <br /> 4., -' — , 3. Place u-bolt though holes provided. Attach lock washers <br /> °„' on u-bolt, on the top side of pad <br /> 4.
