5.
Dig the hole for the Class 2 utility pole and lay the pole on the ground as close as is
practical to the installation site.
6.
With the siren lying on its side and the pole lying on the work surface, attach the
siren to the utility pole using at least two 5/8-inch lag bolts at least four inches long
(not supplied) for each leg. If necessary, install shims between the siren legs and the
pole.
7.
Wrap a cable or chain capable of bearing at least one ton around the pole/siren
combination at least three times. Wrap the chain or cable around the legs of the siren.
Use the chain or cable in conjunction with a crane or hoist capable of lifting at least
one ton to erect the pole in accordance with accepted practice.
8.
Install the Model RC2W Motor Starter and a fused disconnect switch in a location
on the pole that is readily accessible to service personnel but discourages vandalism.
The RC2W must be installed in a vertical position for proper operation. Install the
electrical devices following NEC recommendations and local electrical codes. A
suggested installation configuration is shown in Figure 3.
