Site Preparation
To install a LubriCurve Electro 10/20/30 lubricator, a simple base is required to mount the Cabinet. The
form and stability of the base is important as it resists the wind loads on the solar panel and / or wind
charger. Typically the base would be formed from a pair of wood Sleepers / Ties suitably bedded into
ballast or surrounding ground. Alternatively a concrete plinth can be formed but that can be a costly
solution.
Systems with Masts
Outline and requirements are indicated in the diagram below. Recommendation is for two full length
(8’ 6”) good quality hardwood Sleepers / Ties to be fitted at 90
0
to the track.
Where there is insufficient space in the CESS for that arrangement then two alternative options are
possible:
o
Two ¾ length (6’) sleepers can be used in place of the 8’ 6” standard, sleepers at 90
0
to
the track. Sleepers must be ballast covered for adequate stability.
o
Two full length (8’ 6”) sleepers can be used. The sleepers must be parallel to the track and
spaced 0.95 metres (37”) apart. Sleepers must be ballast covered for adequate stability.
For any orientation described, sleepers are to be horizontal and level relative to each other and fully
bedded into ballast or secure ground.
