Select site for installing tripod and weather station. The site should be away from
obstructions and sprinklers. A flat ground is recommended for installation, even though
the tripod can be installed in many different terrains with some professional help.
Prepare an area of 10’ diameter for installing tripod with little disturbance to the ground
surface or vegetation. Apply pipe dope and Teflon tape to threads on the cross arm
mount and 1 1/4 “ end of the mast. To prevent cross threading, hand thread the cross
arm mount in to the mast’s bell reducer and then tighten with a pipe wrench. Hand thread
the mast into the threaded coupling on the tripod center bracket and then tighten with a
pipe wrench.
Mark the tripod legs to indicate how far they should extend. Each leg has a slide collar
with a single bold for loosening or tightening the collar. Loosen the bolt on each collar
with ½” wrench.
Stand the tripod upright and orient it so on leg points south. Extend the leg until the top of
the slide collar is even with the marks made before and tighten the bolt. Extend all the
other legs in the same manner.
