TurfWeather Weather Station
For temporary sites, ensure the soil under the tripod feet is well
compacted. Otherwise, the tripod may not remain level after the
tripod feet have been secured to the ground.
5. Secure the tripod feet to the ground. For temporary sites, the stakes
included in the 16773 Tripod Stake Kit are driven through the center hole
in each tripod foot (FIGURE 5-6). The stakes should be driven in until
they barely contact the foot surface. For permanent sites, user-supplied
bolts are driven through the holes in each tripod foot.
