7.1.1 Base installation
The tower attaches to a user-supplied concrete foundation as shown in
(p. 9). The
base brackets, anchor bolts, and nuts are included with the tower.
1. Dig a hole 61 cm x 61 cm (24 in x 24 in) deep. Lighter soils will require a deeper hole.
2. Assemble the J-bolt template as shown in
(p. 10). Begin by threading two
5/8-inch nuts onto each J-bolt, followed by a 5/8-inch washer. Next, place a template piece
over the J-bolt, followed by another 5/8-inch washer and a 5/8-inch split lock washer.
Thread a third 5/8-inch nut onto the J-bolt just until the bolt is even with the top of the
bolt. Once all three J-bolts are assembled, slide them together as shown in
10). Align each J-bolt so the angled portion is pointing outward and tighten the lower nuts
to secure the assembly.
