Securing the ISS on the Tripod
Now the ISS is firmly attached to the anemometer extension tube.
1. Insert the swaged end of the
anemometer extension tube
down into the long
extension tube in tripod.
2. Consulting a compass or
local map, turn assembly
until the anemometer arm
points directly north.
3. Place the U-bolt provided
with the tripod around the
tubes where they overlap.
Secure the saddle onto the
U-bolt with the flat
washers, lock washers, and
hex nuts as shown.
4. Tighten the hex nuts quite
firmly, until the U-bolt
begins to dent the tubing
slightly. We recommend the
use of a torque wrench with
25 lb-ft of pressure to fasten the hex nuts.
The support tube should be crimped on the extension tube securely to prevent
any rocking or rotating.
Note:
Do not use over 25 lb-ft torque wrench as it may damage the U-bolts.
