4. Cut and save a 9 inch piece of 12 AWG ground wire from the 12
foot length provided. Thread the remaining 11 foot ground wire
through the tower. Secure all wiring so it does not slip back into the
tower or conduit.
5. Place the tower cap over the tower end.
6. Raise the tower on a still day. Place a washer on top of the two
nuts on each foundation bolt. Taking great care not to damage
cables between the tower and conduit, raise the tower and lower it
onto the conduit and mounting bolts. Install a washer and nut on
each bolt and hand tighten. Check plumb of the tower by placing a
level on the north and east sides of the lower tower section. Adjust
the topmost of the two lower nuts (leveling nut) on each bolt as
necessary. When plumb is established, lock the leveling nut in
place by tightening the lowest nut against it. Tighten the three top
nuts with the wrench.
