Stage one

Remove the safety tube from the end of the ‘Ground-Lock’ 

leaving the BURIED SERVICES STICKER in place.

Push the Ground-Lock ( 7 ) socket spike into the chosen 

ground in a vertical position until it stands alone, ensuring 

that when bin and post are finally fitted the correct 

orientation is achieved.

Position the installation cap ( 11 ) See Diagram 1.

Note:- If the ground conditions are hard, a two man 

operation may be required to achieve a satisfactory 

installation.

Hammer the ‘Ground-Lock’ into the ground with even 

strokes until the horizontal bracket (affixed to the top of the 

‘Ground-Lock’) is level with the ground.

When half way into the ground check the vertical position 

and adjust if necessary then continue installation until the 

top of the ‘Ground-Lock’ is at ground level.

Remove and retain the installation cap ( 11 ) for further use.

Stage two

Take the socket block ( 10 ) and screw onto the end of the 

insertion tool ( 12 )

Ensure that the socket block is screwed hand tight only to 

the threaded end section. See Diagram 2.

Then using the tool insert the block into the socket. See Diagram 3.

Stage three

Ram the insertion tool downwards to activate the barb securing 

the ‘Ground-Lock’ into position.

When the arrow on the insertion tool is showing level with the top 

of the socket, the ‘Ground-Lock’ is fully engaged. See Diagram 3.

Twist the insertion tool anti-clockwise to separate from the socket 

block, then remove insertion tool and retain for further use.

Stage four

Having installed the ‘Ground-Lock’ remove earth locally 

from around the top to expose the fixing bolt hole for the 

post. See diagram 4.

Line the fixing holes up on the post and socket and then 

insert the post into the socket to achieve the preferred bin 

orientation.

Insert bolt ( 8 ) and tighten until the post is held firmly in 

the socket. See Diagram 5.

Replace earth around the base to disguise the fixing point.

Stage five.

METHOD :- Assembly to Post.

To mount the bin onto the post it is first necessary to separate the bin base away 

from the hood and stainless steel backbone components. See Diagram 6 

Separate the base ( D ) by unlocking the bin at point ( M ) in a horizontal position 

with the key provided.  Release and remove both top fixings ( A & B ) with a 15mm 

spanner from inside the base, these hold the base to the retainer bar. ( C ) 

Pivot and lift the base ( D ) away from the metal backbone ( E ) and place base 

safely to one side. 

With assistance to support the hood component ( N) align the metal backbone ( E ) 

up with the post threaded fixing points ( P ) and secure with fixings ( 3,4 & 5 ) 

through holes ( F,G, H & J )  See Diagram 7.  Note The security Allen Key provided 

with the kit is required at this point to fix M6 x 12mm Security Screws.

Replace the base ( D ) by lifting the hood ( N ) clear and connecting the lower point feature in the base with the 

pivot rod ( K )  within the metal backbone.  Align both upper fixing hole points in the base with the retainer bar 

threads ( L ) in the hood and replace and secure fixings ( A & B ) . See Diagram 8.

The bin interior can now be prepared operationally for use depending upon liner choice. 

The hood will lock without the use of a key by lowering it onto the base and slamming shut.
