Assembly of  Aluminum T-14 Pole with Mounting Kit and T-14 House Mount

Step 19)

  It is time to install the houses.  Begin by 

removing the houses from their boxes (one  sec-
tion of house per box).  One of the house sections 
will   have   a   hardware   bag   containing   8   carriage  
bolts and 8 wing nuts.  Begin by getting 4 of the 
carriage bolts   On the back side of each of the 
four unit houses you will see a rail to the left and 
right with holes at the top and bottom of the rails.  
Insert a carriage bolt so the flat head of the car-
riage bolt is inside the rail, repeat for all 4 holes.  
Take a hammer and gently tap the carriage head  
to be sure they are fully seated and tight against 
the rail.

Step 20

)     Now  you  will   need   two   of  your   slider 

blocks (O) (found in the mounting kit).  Note that 
each   block   has   screws   installed   in   them.     Place 
one of the slider blocks underneath the upper car-
riage bolts and using your hammer tap the slider 
block so that its flush with the back of the house.  
Now use your hammer and tap the bottom of the 
block,   upwards   so   that   you   move   the   block   to 
where   the   edge   of   the   block   is   pushing   on   the 
carriage   bolt   head.     Partly   covering   these   bolt 
heads will help later in the installation as it will 
keep the bolts from moving.  Using you screw dri-
ver install the screws.  Repeat at the lower section, 
and do the other 4-section.

Step 21)

  In the mounting kits hardware bag there 

are 8 wood screws (S).  You will take a screw and 
insert the screw from outside the rail of the four-
house section, thru the slider block.   Insert one 
screw   to   the   left   and   the   right   of   all   4   slider 
blocks.     The   back   of   your   two   4-compartment 
sections should look like this.  See photo step 21
