Tie Down Steel Pier System - Manual (Page 3)

Installation of Longitudinal System
(Figure 1)
1. Identify the number of systems to be used on the home using the chart provided.
2. Identify on the location where the longitudinal systems will be installed.
3. Clear all organic matter and debris from the pad site.
4. Place pad centered under beam using the centering mark imprinted on the pad.
5. Press or drive pan into ground until level and flush with prepared surface.
6. Slide Xi-System pier feet into slots in pad so that the Xi-system pier is centered under the I-beam.
7. Raise telescoping extension post to contact the bottom of I-beam, secure with bolt provided, tighten
bolt nut. (Figure 1)
8. Turn hex nut on pier height adjuster until Xi-System pier is rigid between pad and I-beam.
9. Install Gator Beam clamps to I-beam on each side of the Xi-System pier. Do not tighten nuts at
this time. (Figure 2)
10. Connect struts (open side down) to each side of the Xi-System pier using the U- bolt provided. Struts are
attached to the upper hole in each pier leg and to the flanges on the beam clamps. (Figure 1)
11. Tighten all nuts and bolts on the struts and beam clamps.
Installation of Lateral System
(Figure 3)
1. Assemble lateral strut by sliding smaller (1-1/2”) tube into the larger (1-3/4”) tube. Holes should be on the
sides of the larger tube and the “flag” up on the larger tube.
2. Attach the end of the smaller tube to the inside of the pan using u-bolts and nuts provided.
3. Attach the flag end of the larger tube to the opposite I-beam using the “J” bolt over the top of the I-beam
with the nut & washer provided. (Figure 4)
4. Install a minimum of four(1/4”x3/4’) self-tapping screws into the holes provided in the lateral strut so that the two
tubes are connected together. (Figure 1)
