Install the mount so that the tower to be utilized will clear
all obstructions yet provide full access to all required work areas within the towers’s safe working radius.
**Once a location is chosen, Ensure that the manway to which the mount will be attached is
capable of withstanding all of the forces imparted to it by the proof-loaded system (Refer to
Section 5.1 of this manual).

Secure the mount by sliding the slider blocks within the arms to the mounting holes on the manway (Refer to Fig.
#5.2e).
