Do the following to mount the tipping bucket rain gage to the CM270 bracket
(FIGURE 6-6 ):
Follow this procedure to ensure that the tipping bucket is mounted
correctly. The adjustment screws for the tipping mechanism will
not be accessible if it is mounted incorrectly.
1. Turn the rain gage upside down and set it on a hard surface such as a table
top.
2. Place the mounting bracket on the bottom of the bucket. Line up the three
holes in the mounting bracket with the three holes used for the mounting
feet. When positioned correctly, the tipping bucket’s cable will be near the
bubble level and pole mounting hardware.
3. Use the three self-tapping screws and a long Phillips screwdriver to
securely fasten the mounting bracket to the bottom of the tipping bucket.
4. Flip the assembly over and tighten the bolt that uses the cylindrical spacer.
The bolts securing the leveling springs need to remain loose to allow
leveling when the bracket is mounted to the pole or mast.
