Before placing the support columns on the anchor bolts, use a transit and surveyor’s rod to locate high
and low areas in the concrete. To assure level alignment for the support columns, use the proper supplied
shim or shims between the concrete and base plate. After leveling is completed, place the support
columns over the anchor bolts, with shim plates underneath column. Next place HT-635 washer over
anchor bolts and loosely fasten with nuts and washers (not furnished). Refer to
Figure 6A . Seal any
gaps between compression elements and the seal strip at column locations with silicon or other
conventional means.
