2.1.3.2 RFM18 Base Installation
1. Position the RFM18 on the surface where it will
be installed. Make sure the hinge direction is
correct and mark the locations of the three
mounting holes. Install an appropriate anchor
(user-supplied) for each hole.
Attach the bottom section of the tower to
the RFM18 base using one bolt per leg
(Figure 2.1-5). Position the base over the
anchor holes. Secure the base to the
anchors with appropriate hardware (user-
supplied). Check the tower for plumb and
shim the RFM18 if necessary before fully
tightening the bolts.
2.1.4 GUY ANCHOR INSTALLATION
There are two types of anchors for the tower
guy wires: the UTEYE eye bolts are poured in
concrete; the UTDUK duckbill anchors are
driven into the soil.
2.1.4.1 UTEYE Eyebolt Guy Anchor
1. Dig a hole 24" square by 24" deep at each
anchor location (Section 2.1.2).
2. Optional
construct a concrete form out of
2" x 4" lumber 24" square (inside
dimensions) for each hole. Center the
forms over the holes and level them using a
carpenter's level and stakes.
3. Fill the holes with concrete and install the
eyebolts as shown in Figure 2.1-6.
2.1.4.2 UTDUK Duckbill Guy Anchor
1. Locate the three anchor locations (Section
2.1.2). It is important that the anchors be
driven at the same angle as the guy wires
(Figure 2.1-7). Insert the steel drive bar into
the anchor body and drive the anchor into
the ground using a fence post driver or
sledgehammer until only the top half of the
loop remains above the ground.
2. Attach a high-lift jack to the loop and jack
the anchor up about 6 inches to rotate the
anchor into the load-lock position.
WARNING: Failure to install and lock the
anchor at the correct angle will result in the
anchor cable cutting through the soil until
the angles equalize, causing slack in the
guy wires.
