SPECIFIC ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:
NOTE:
EXTRA LONG BOLTS ARE SUPPLIED TO MAKE ASSEMBLY POSSIBLE. AFTER ASSEMBLY IS COMPLETE, ALL
PROTRUDING THREADS MUST BE CUT OFF AND PEENED OVER TO REMOVE ANY SHARP PROJECTIONS. Bolt
Caps are also provided if you would like to use. These however, must be installed before
the nut is put on the bolt. They are two piece, and the cap can be placed on after bolt
is cut and peened over.
STEP #1:
Start with 303-227 Gray Braces. Assemble bottom row. At the footing marked with a
circle (see sketch pg. 1), use 116-545 2
½
” button head bolts inserted from the inside
with one 316-501 Flat Washer on both sides and one 216-501 Hex Nut. On the other bottom
joints use one 116-545 2
½
” button head bolt inserted from the outside with one 316 -501
flat washer under the head of the button head bolt, and one washer and one 326-501 lock
washer under a 216-501 5/16” hex nut. DO NOT TIGHTEN ANY NUTS MORE THAN A FEW TURNS AT
THIS POINT.
STEP #2:
Next assemble all the joints with five 303-228 Lt. Blue Braces, use one 116-545 5/16” x
2 1/2” button head bolt put thru from outside with one 316-501 5/16” flat washer under
the head of the button head bolt, and one flat washer and one lock washer under the hex
nut. (See Plan View Illustration for Color Code for Braces). Always position bars
where ends point up on bottom so that ends of bars pointing down are on top.
STEP #3:
Now assemble the six unit joints using the 2-1/2” button head bolts, with washers on
both ends and a lock washer under the hex nut.
STEP #4:
Continue this procedure for the final five brace connections at the top.
STEP #5:
Place a “C”-Clamp (or similar) over the joined braces and tighten down. NOW TIGHTEN ALL
JOINTS SECURELY. Then cut off all bolts ends so that no more than 2 threads extend
beyond the face of the nut. Peen or file to remove share edges. Firmly press Bolt Cap
Lids into the Bolt Caps.
STEP #6:
After assembly, locate the five footing holes as shown on the illustration. Place a
wood or metal stake at each hole location. Move Geo-Dome out of the way and dig holes.
STEP #7:
Reposition Geo-Dome and attach 503-637 Anchor as shown using washers on both sides of
the dome anchor and a lock washer under the hex nut. Pour concrete into holes and let
set for 48 hours. After concrete has hardened, the Geo-Dome is ready to use.
STEP #8:
Attach Warning Label and Manufacturer’s Identification Label to a clean surface. The
Labels should be attached in a location where they are clearly visible and legible and
away from normal hand and foot placement areas. The Labels must be replaced if they
become illegible, destroyed, or removed. Contact your Distributor for replacement
Labels.
