7.1.1 Base Installation

The UT10 tower attaches to a user-supplied concrete foundation as shown in

FIGURE 7-1. The base brackets, anchor bolts, and nuts are included with the

tower.

1. Dig a hole 24 inches square and 24 inches deep. Lighter soils will require

a deeper hole.

2. Assemble the J-bolt template as shown in FIGURE 7-2. Begin by

threading two 5/8 inch nuts onto each J-bolt, followed by a 5/8 inch

washer. Next, place a template piece over the J-bolt, followed by another

5/8 inch washer and a 5/8 inch split lock washer. Thread a third 5/8 inch

nut onto the J-bolt just until the bolt is even with the top of the bolt. Once

all three J-bolts are assembled, slide them together as shown in FIGURE

7-2. Align each J-bolt so the angled portion is pointing outward and

tighten the lower nuts to secure the assembly.
