To assemble the tripod at the site:

1. Attach the base plate to the base of the tripod.

2. Centre the access tube installation tripod over the site where the access tube is to be

installed.

3. Loosen the wing nuts and spread the legs of the tripod until the base plate touches the

ground and the lower legs are protruding approximately 5 cm (2 inches) out of the upper leg
sections. Note: The legs of the tripod can be adjusted for a straight access tube installation
on sloping ground or on top of mounds.

4. Secure the tripod in position by driving the tripod pins through the holes in the foot of each

leg into the soil using a sledge hammer. Note: Ensure the pin head touches the foot plate to
ensure the feet of the tripod legs don’t move during installation.

5. Check that all the wing nuts are loose. Insert the sledge hammer handle into the tripod

cylinder and straighten the tripod by moving the tripod cylinder into a vertical position.
