Step 2:
Attach the base platform to the pole as follows:
Note:
Clearfield recommends using three people to perform this task: Two to hold the base platform in position
against the pole, and one to install the mounting hardware.
a.
Determine how high above ground to elevate the cabinet. Mark the identified height on the pole.
Note:
The identified height is where the top surface of the base platform will sit. This height must be at least 16
inches above the ground.
b.
Position the base platform against the pole, with its top edge at the marked height. If necessary, arrange the
cable conduits underneath the platform into the appropriate entry ducts
c.
Verify that the base platform is level
d.
While holding the platform in position, drill (3) 3/8-inch pilot holes into the pole through the holes in the
center of the mounting bracket.
e.
Install (3) 1/2 x 3-inch lag screws into the pilot holes to attach the bracket to the pole. Tighten the screws
completely to secure the bracket in place.
f.
Install (4) 1/2 x 18-inch threaded rods (with a nut and flat washer on one end of each) through the front
mounting bracket from behind. Loosely install a 1/2-inch flat washer, lock washer, and nut onto each rod to
secure it in place.
Note:
Clearfield recommends using cold-shrink tubing on the conduit entry ducts to seal the conduit entry. If
any of the individual conduit entry ducts are not used, remove and replace the duct plates with blank plates
from the installation kit.
