Install the Base Tube
Identify the base tube. The base tube has a hole drilled through the flared (wider) end. Attach the base tube to the
baseplate
using the ¾” x 8” bolt through the lower holes in the center of the baseplate sides. Secure the bolt with the
provided nut.
Slide tube sections together until the end of the interior tube is inserted all the way into the outer
tube‟s flare. The
inner tube will be stopped. Aligning the weld seams (visible in interior of tube) of each tower section will make it
easier to slide the sections together. Continue to assemble the tubes and place guy rings over the tubes according
to the sequence above. Make sure the guy ring is placed so the guy ring corners are bent towards the baseplate,
and the guy ring corners are in line with each anchor point. Place wood blocks every 5 to 6 meters (15
– 20 feet) to
support the tower above the ground, keeping the tower as straight as possible.
Note: Do not use oil on tower joints. This can cause tower failure if the tubes self-flare.
