4. Firmly tighten the U-bolt nuts.
5. If the Guy-wire Kit has been installed, assure that its orientation will not
interfere with the solar panel (if one is installed) then evenly tighten the
turnbuckles to tension the guy-wires.
6. Confirm the weather station is level by viewing the bubble level on top of
the weather station (Figure 2-10). Minor adjustments can be made by
tightening or loosening the appropriate guy-wire turnbuckle, placing
shims between the weather station base and the top of the mast or pole, or
loosening the mast bolts at the top and bottom of the tripod and shifting
the vertical orientation.
