Step 4: Tower Base Assembly
To assemble the tower base:
1)
Start by matching the two “upright” pieces together as shown above.
2)
Insert the large pivot bolt through the holes to assure proper alignment and install its nut
finger tight. The two uprights should be assembled 4” apart. The tower base coupler can be
used to help set this distance.
3)
Bolt the two uprights to the two base plates using the carriage bolts provided (install the
bolts from below, nuts from above).
4)
Torque the nuts to 30-35 ft-lb (40-47 N-m)
5)
Set tower base at desired location with lower pivot holes toward tower assembly direction.
6)
Secure base with stakes or steel re-bar driven into the ground or bolts in concrete.
