DH Satellite 60 Horizon to Horizon/Powered Dec - Manual (Page 3)

Installation of Base
Look at the drawings below, the first drawing shows the recommended c o n c rete base. In areas of deep frost we recommend
that this base go below frost levels. 1/2" rebar can be used to reinforce the structure, if required; contact your local concrete
people or a local engineer to give you an idea of how much steel to use. WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU CHECK WITH A LOCAL
ENGINEER TO DETERMINE SOIL TYPE AND BEARING TO VERIFY THAT THIS BASE WILL WORK FOR YOUR LOCALE.
With the Horizon-to-Horizon mount you have a choice of two different base assembl i e s . The first is a base post (see figure #1) .
The base post is simply a 5" I . D. / 5 1/2 " O.D. pipe that has weldments on the lower section. We recommend that the post be in
the concrete at least 4’-0”. When the post is set in concrete, be sure it is plumb.
The four leg base stand assembly option is currently discontinued as
of June 1 st , 2013, but should you need to use this method please refer
to figure #2 below. This base stand is designed to go above the ground
and is inst a lled on the concrete pad instead of in it. You can i nstall this
in eithe r of t w o ways , the first is you can request a template of the
base stand and then install J-bolts in the concrete as y ou are pouring it ,
or you can w ait until y o u receive the base stand (ha v ing pre v iously
poured the pad) and drill the holes into the concrete using the stand as
the template . You must use a type of lead head, Garonite or a Parafast
resin m o rtar to se c ure the bo l ts.
