				greater than 50 degrees measured horizontally or that recommended by the
				machine manufacturer. If suitable anchors are not available or the terrain is
				so steep that the guyline angle exceeds 50 degrees or the machine
				manufacturer's recommendation, additional precautions must be taken, such as
				rearranging guylines to oppose the load, adding an additional guyline to oppose
				the load, or narrowing yarding roads.
(4) Tail and intermediate support tree
				guylines must be:
(a) Arranged and adjusted so
				they share the load when lines are tensioned.
(b) Kept securely tightened during the
				yarding process.
(c) Made of the
				same strength material as the line hung in the tree or larger size guylines
				must be used to provide the same relative strength.
Example:
In
				  437-007-0650(4)(c),
				  a 1-inch swaged skyline requires guylines equivalent in strength to 5/8-inch
				  swaged guylines.
