Without proper turnbuckle tension, bridge sections can shift or misalign under load, compromising spreader performance and operator safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccording to the official Bartell Morrison MS-40C operator's manual, turnbuckles are installed at the apex of the bridge to join threaded shafts between bridge sections. During assembly, the manual specifies setting bridge sections on the ground and joining 20-30 feet of bridge before mounting the spreader, with turnbuckles and jam nuts used to secure the threaded shaft connections at each bridge apex. This 3\/4\" hex turnbuckle measuring 3-1\/8\" in length is the correct OEM specification for maintaining proper bridge geometry and load distribution across the span. Inspect turnbuckles for thread wear, deformation, or loosening whenever the bridge is assembled, disassembled, or repositioned on a new job site. A worn or improperly tensioned turnbuckle can introduce flex into the bridge structure, causing uneven material distribution and accelerated wear on the spreader's running components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible models include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMorrison MS-40C Material Spreader\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePB-M09203\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss-Screed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eGenuine Bartell Global OEM part, sold by an authorized dealer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bartell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43412812431408,"sku":"981010","price":64.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6574\/7248\/files\/981010.jpg?v=1784317559","url":"https:\/\/cce-industries.com\/products\/bartell-981010-turnbuckle-hex-3-4-x-3-1-8-oem-replacement-part","provider":"CCE Industries","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
