STEP 6
( Installation of Power Drop Anchors )
1. Before proceeding, double check location and mea-
surements, Make certain that the Base Plates of each
Column are aligned with the chalk / crayon lines.
FOLLOW PROCEDURE EXACTLY FOR
PROPER FITMENT AND ALIGNMENT
OF ANCHORS. THE HOLES MUST BE DRILLED
ACCORDING TO THE HOLE LOCATION DIAGRAM
SHOWN BELOW.
2. Using the base plate on the Column as a guide, hold
the drill perpendicular to the concrete surface and drill
one
pilot anchor hole at location “A”
in the concrete approxi-
mately 2” deep using a rotary hammer drill and
5/8” con-
crete drill-bit.
3. Move the column out of the way.
4. Hold the drill perpendicular to the concrete surface then
drill out the “
A”
pilot hole
to a minimum depth of 5-1/2”
deep using a rotary hammer drill and
7/8” concrete drill-bit.
(See Fig. 6.2)
5. After drilling, thoroughly clean hole using dust broom
or vacuum cleaner.
6. Thread the 5/8” x 2” Hex Bolt into the Power Drop
Anchor body until 5/8” of threads shows between the bot-
tom of Bolt Head and the top off the Power Drop Anchor.
(See Fig. 6.3)
7. Tap Anchor Bolt assembly into the “A” hole until the
Bolt Head rests against the Concrete Surface and the
Power Drop Anchor rests approximately 5/8” below the
surface of the concrete. (See Fig. 6.4)
8. After the “A” Power Drop Anchor is installed, move the
column back into position, lining up the Column with the
floor markings and the “A” Base Plate hole positioned over
the Power Drop Anchor.
9. Install a 5/8” x 2” Hex Bolt and Flat Washer then tighten
the Column firmly to the floor until the Power Drop Anchor
sets flush with the concrete surface.
DO NOT use an impact
wrench for this procedure.
