STEP 5
(Installing the POWER SIDE post)
1. Before proceeding, double the check measurements
and make certain that the base plate of each post is
aligned with the chalk line.
2. Using the base plate on the POWER SIDE post as
a guide, drill each anchor hole in the concrete (approxi-
mately 4” deep for 9K and 10K models and 6” deep for 12K
and15K; 8” for 18K models) using a rotary hammer drill and
3/4” concrete drill-bit. To ensure full holding power, do not
ream the hole or allow the drill to wobble. (See Fig. 5.1)
3. After drilling, remove dust thoroughly from each hole
making certain that the posts remain aligned with the
chalk line.
4. Assemble the washers and nuts on the anchors then
tap into each hole with a hammer until the washer rests
against the base plate. If shimming is required be sure that
enough threads are left exposed. (See Fig. 5.2)
5. If shimming is required, insert the shims as necessary
under the base plate so that when the anchor bolts are
tightened, the posts will be plumb. (See Fig. 5.3)
6. If installing the optional foot guards, place foot guards
on left and right side as shown. (See Fig 5.4)
7. With the foot guards, shims and anchor bolts in place,
tighten by securing the nut to the base then turning 3-5 full
turns clockwise.
DO NOT
use an impact wrench for this
procedure. (See Fig. 5.5)
STEP 6
(Installing the OFF SIDE post)
1. Position the OFF SIDE post at the designated chalk
locations and secure post to fl oor following the same proce-
dures as outlined in STEP 5; Paragraphs 1-6.
