Note!
If the septic cover has an electrical conduit protruding from the side, there are some
additional steps to take. If it doesn’t, these steps can be skipped.
Septic tank with an electrical conduit.
1.
Set the well base over the cover and rotate the base until the pockets in the top that
hold the uprights are facing the desired position.
2.
Mark the spot on the base where it meets the electrical conduit.
3.
Place the well base next to the septic cover upright on the ground.
4.
Measure from the ground to the top of the electrical conduit and add ½ inch.
The added
½ inch gives you some allowance for readjustment.
5.
Make a mark on the well base directly above the mark you made earlier that marks the
conduit. Make sure to add a ½” in height.
6.
Cut out the template provided. Place template on the top mark straight down centered
over the bottom. Outline the template with the inker.
7.
If you have a 2 ¾ hole saw, cut out the hole you marked using the template provided
and the inker. If a hole saw is not accessible, cut a rectangular hole with a hand saw.
Starting at the bottom of the base, cut along the marks you made with the template.
8.
Test fit the well base over the septic cover for proper fit.
