Seal all weather connections using a silicone rubber compound.

With the base plate mounted in its correct location on site, adjust the
three levelling screws until the built-in spirit level indicates that the
unit is level.

It is advisable to secure the base unit permanently to a firm
foundation using the two holding lugs provided.
These accept either 9.5 mm or 3/8" rawl bolts.
Do not over tighten the fixings.
A restriction, such as an elastic band, may have been fitted to prevent
the bucket from moving during transit.

Carefully remove any restriction and check that the bucket pivots
freely.

Replace the outer cover of standard versions, with the catches
engaged in the cutouts in the base plate.
7.
Replace the outer cover of versions that meet the Environmental
Agency Framework Directive, then use the Allen Key to lock the
three catches to secure the cover to the base.
