My tower is a different type, here's what I did:
Somewhere during your cable installation, tape the cables together in such
a way that they
physically attach like one cable. I band the tower cables together about
every 2 to 3 feet.
You've got to do this if you run more than one cable up the side of a
crankup.
Next the coax arms. I shortened mine so they would be less prone to bend.
This might cause
other problems with the type tower you mention.
I also band the cables to each coax arm so when the tower is cranked down,
I have
3 loops of extra cable in the air. I band them so the cable is straight
up/down where
it is physically attached to the coax arm. Use wide tie wraps & electrical
tape.
Best of DX in the contest! Robert
