Standard Installation Accessories
4.1
Installing Mixer Mast
It is very important that the mixer mast assembly be properly
installed. Each assembly must be plumb in both directions and
secured to the tank wall and floor with the supplied anchor
bolts. Shimming of brackets may be required.
1.
Place the base bracket on the tank floor close to where
the unit will be located. Do not anchor the base bracket at
this time.
2.
Carefully lower the mast assembly into the tank, placing
the lower mast socket over the base bracket pin. Take
steps to insure that all personnel be kept at a safe
distance from the mast assembly while it is being lowered
into the tank.
3.
With the mast assembly seated on the base bracket pin,
insert the upper bracket pin all the way into the upper
mast socket. While holding the upper bracket against the
mounting surface, mark or line drill the four holes for the
anchor bolts.
NOTE: To insure proper mast rotation, it is very important that
the upper bracket is mounted straight and plumb.
4.
After drilling the anchor bolt holes, place the upper
bracket on the wall, aligning the holes, and insert the four
anchors. Snug up the anchors but do not tighten them.
5.
Place a level on the mast tube. Move the mast and the
inserted base bracket to the position on the tank floor that
will insure that the unit is plumb in all directions. Line drill
and install the anchor bolts in base bracket.
6.
If the mast assembly is more that 10 feet in length
intermediate wall brackets must be installed. Place the
intermediate wall bracket pin all the way into the mast
socket, with the mounting plate against the tank wall, line
drill the four anchor bolts at the intermediate bracket as
well as the upper bracket at this time.
NOTE: When installing the intermediate wall bracket be sure
that the mast assembly remains plumb in all directions.
7.
If the mast assembly is being mounted on a “Y” or “T”
wall, and is more than 10 feet in length, intermediate
extension brackets are required. Attach the extension
bracket to the intermediate bracket, using the supplied
hex head bolts with nuts and washers. Insert the
intermediate bracket pin all the way into the mast socket.
With the mounting plate of this assembly against the tank
wall, mark or line drill for the anchor bolts. Install and
tighten the anchor bolts.
8.
Install ”L” shaped anti - lift clip as shown using the 1/4
dia X 3/4 inch hex. head bolt w/lock washer.

Installing the Guide Rail Stop Bracket

on the guide rail such that the unit’s prescribed centerline height
results.
