6.3 CM270 Installation
Tools needed:
• Open end wrench, 7/16 inch open-ended wrench, or 7/16 inch socket
wrench.
•
Long #2 Phillips Screwdriver
Remove manufacturer’s mounting hardware:
1. Remove the three feet mounted on the bottom of the rain gage.
2. Remove the side bracket, but keep the screws.
3. Place the side bracket screws into the rain gage and tighten. This keeps
debris out of the threaded holes.
Do the following to assemble the mounting bracket. FIGURE 6-4 and
FIGURE 6-5 show the bracket components and the proper assembly.
1. Remove the components from the shipping bag. To assemble the bracket,
you will need the bottom plate, V-shaped plate, S-shaped plate, three bolts,
two leveling springs, and cylindrical spacer. The bottom plate should come
with three black nylon grommets mounted into it, and the pole mounting
hardware attached to it.
2. Place the leveling springs over the bottom plate’s side grommets.
3. Place the V-shaped plate onto the bottom plate. The V-shaped plate’s legs
should be on the leveling springs and the bubble level should be next to
the pole-mounting hardware.
4. Use two bolts to secure the V-plate legs to the bottom plate (with the
springs sandwiched between the two plates). Initially finger tighten the
bolts and then use a wrench to further tighten them.
Do not compress the springs at this time.
5. Place the cylindrical spacer on the bottom plate’s front grommet.
6. Place the S-shaped plate on the spacer and use the bolt to secure it to the
bottom plate. Initially finger tighten the bolt and then use a wrench to
further tighten. Leave it a bit loose.
