2. 2.2 Tower Installation
1. Install the mast as shown in Figure 2. 2-4. Attach the 3/4" x 10" nipple to
the mast using the bell reducer. Loosen the two bolts at the top of the
tower and insert the mast. For a 3 m mounting height, the bell reducer
should rest against the top of the tower. Tighten the two bolts to secure
the mast.
2. Remove the three upper bolts on the aluminum sleeves attached to the
base. Loosen the nuts on the three lower bolts and position the sleeves
vertically (Figure 2.
2-2).
3. Stand the tower upright and insert the three legs into the sleeves. Align
the holes and replace the bolts previously removed.
4. Check the tower for plumb using a level and adjust the leveling nuts as
required. When the tower is plumb, use two wrenches to lock the two
lower nuts together. Tighten the upper nuts to secure the base.
5. The lower bolt in the rear leg can be removed to allow the tower to be
hinged to the ground. If a step ladder is available, it is easier to leave the
tower upright.
