1. Tension Balance: Use a tension meter to measure the actual force on each guy wire. The tension difference between wires should not exceed 10% to avoid uneven stress leading to tilting or structural fatigue.

2. Structural Stability: The guy wire tension must ensure that the telescopic lighthouse can withstand lateral loads from winds of force 6 (approximately 12.5 m/s) at its maximum working height, preventing swaying or overturning.

3. Adjustment Basis: For some industrial-grade telescopic lighthouses (such as Zhong'an and Yusheng brands), an initial tension setting of 300-500 N is recommended. Specific values ​​can be found in the "Installation and Debugging Parameter Table" in the product manual.

4. Environmental Adaptability: When operating in strong winds, on soft ground, or on slopes, the tension can be appropriately increased to 1.2 times the standard value, and ground stake anchoring should be strengthened.

Divide-and-conquer synchronous adjustment should be used, gradually tightening with turnbuckles to avoid overloading on one side. After adjustment, be sure to tighten the anti-loosening nut and check the verticality of the tower body again.
