Method III (Gin and Tower to Base on Side, Rotate, then Slide in Base Tube)
This method can be fairly easy although the tower base tube must be slid into position and the base
anchoring staples installed while the gin pole is being held vertical.
1) Loosen the set-screw and slide the tower base tube so that one end is flush with the tower
base fitting.
2) Push the electrical wires into the tower base and attach the tower to the tower base. Tighten
the set-screw.
3) Attach the loop ends of the “gin side” guy wires to the bolts on the coupler and upper guy
wire hanger. Tighten the coupler over the joint between the upper and lower tower sections
and tighten the upper guy wire hanger about three feet from the turbine.
4) Rotate the tower so that the base tube is sticking straight up.
5) Position the gin pole over the electrical wires and into the tower base. Tighten the set screw.
6) Mount the gin pole top piece and install the bolt through its tabs.
7) Attach the snap links and 8 foot cable as shown in the drawing.
8) Tie the rope to the anchor on the gin pole side and loop it through the snap links as shown.
