Mount the Extension Tube

inserted into the top of the extension tube. Make sure the swaged end of the
support tube is pointing downward as you secure the ISS (or other station).
The ISS comes with U-bolts, washers, and hex nuts for the purpose of
mounting it on a pole. Consult your ISS Installation Manual for detailed
instructions.
Note:
Remember, when mounting both sides together, that whichever side of the
ISS is mounted first, the U-bolt from the opposite side ALSO must be
placed around the pole before you tighten anything. (If it is not, there is no
way to slide it in later.)
If you wish to put the anemometer higher than the rain collector side of your
ISS on the support tube, follow the instructions in the ISS Installation Manual
for mounting each side
separately
.
The anemometer arm must point northward or you will have to re-orient the
wind vane after mounting. (As shown in Appendix C in the ISS manual.)
Mount the Extension Tube
The extension tube is 21" long (and does not have a swaged end.)
1. In a fence-post or other flat vertical surface, drill two holes, using one of the
1-1/8" saddles as a guide.
2. Drill another set of holes at least 12" (0.3 m) away from the first holes.
3. Using the 5/16" flat washers and lag screws, secure the saddles against the
extension tube and into the post.
