Perform these steps with the post laying down on the ground in the orientation shown, below.
1.
Slide a 2-way hex elbow bracket’s tube over the post top after aligning the header receiver u-channels in the proper
directions. Push the bracket all the way down on top of the post. If you feel resistance tap lightly on top of the elbow
bracket until it slides all the way.
2.
Wrap a piece of electrical tape around the 3/32” drill bit, spaced 1-1/4” from the drill bit tip. This will act as a hole depth
indicator when you drill each pilot hole. Pilot holes should be drilled at least 1-1/4” deep. A little bit deeper is
acceptable but do not drill less than the required 1-1/4” depth.
