STEP 5
(Installing The POWERSIDE Column)
1. Before proceeding, double the check measurements
and make certain that the bases of each Column are
aligned with the chalk line.
2. Using the base plate on the POWERSIDE column as a
guide, drill each anchor hole in the concrete approximately
6” deep for 12K and 15K models and 8” for 18K models
using a rotary hammer drill and 3/4” concrete drill-bit. To
assure full holding power, do not ream the hole or allow the
drill to wobble. (See Fig. 5.1)
3. After drilling, remove dust thoroughly from each hole
making certain that the Column remains aligned with the
chalk line.
4. Assemble the washers and nuts on the anchors then
tap into each hole with a hammer until the washer rests
against the Base Plate. Be sure that if shimming is required
that enough threads are left exposed. (See Fig. 5.2)
5. Insert the shims as necessary under the Base Plate so
that when the anchor bolts are tightened, the Columns will
be plumb. (See Fig. 5.3)
6. With the shims and anchor bolts in place, tighten by
securing the nut to the base then turning 3-5 full turns
clockwise. DO NOT use an impact wrench for this
procedure. (See Fig. 5.4)
