measurements.
2.
Loosely tighten the U-bolt nuts so that the WeatherHawk is stable but can be rotated on the mast or pole
(Figure 24).
3.
As a reference, use a magnetic compass (supplied with the optional Tripod Installation Kit) and rotate the
WeatherHawk assembly until the reference line on the wind direction sensor is aligned with Magnetic
North (Figure 25).
4.
Firmly tighten the U-bolt nuts.
5.
If the TP1-GK Guy-Wire Kit has been installed, assure that its
orientation will not interfere with the solar panel (if installed), then
evenly tighten the turnbuckles to tension the guy-wires.
6.
Confirm the WeatherHawk is level by viewing the bubble level on
top
of the WeatherHawk. Minor adjustments can be made by
tightening or loosening the appropriate guy-wire turnbuckle,
placing shims between the WeatherHawk base and the top of the
TP1 mast or pole, or loosening the mast bolts at the top and
bottom of the TP1 tripod and shifting the vertical orientation
(Figure 26).
