Assembly of BE base plate- and CN 0.5 F/M-70 column.
1.
Secure the base plate to the floor or wall with an expanding anchor and minimum 12 mm (1/2”)
bolt. Be observant on what material the base plate will be mounted on. For safety it is important
that the base plate is properly secured. If mounted on brick or light concrete we recommend to
secure the base plate with through bolts.
2.
When drilling with large drill bits we recommend using two anchors of M16 size to fasten the base
plate.
3.
Fit the column on the base plate.
4.
Pull out the support legs and check with the level to see that the column stands vertical and steady.
If not, adjust with the screws on the support legs until the column stands correctly.
5.
To mount the column on the base plate, or a pivoting head, or to join two columns, an eccentric bolt
is inserted in the hole in the column, and tightened clockwise with an ½” knuckle bar or ratchet.
6.
The column is locked by turning the eccentric bolt Clockwise.
7.
To release the column, the eccentric bolt is turned Counter Clockwise until it lifts from the cone, the
eccentric bolt is removed and the column can be removed.
WARNING!
•
The base plate must be securely fastened to perform safe drilling.
•
Be careful to clean the mounting hole for the base plate with water or air
before fitting an expander bolt.
