Once the brackets are assembled to the Base, measure and mark the centerline on
each angle bracket. These lines will be used to position the Base in the bored hole
PREPARING THE GROUND SURFACE AND BASE RECESS
Concreteoorsandslabsvarygreatlyintermsofthicknessandtype
of concrete. You must create a recess beneath the surface for the
anchor which is then set in the concrete foundation. With this style
ofconstructiontheriskassociatedwithundersizeoorthickness,
cracks and inadequate concrete reinforcement is greatly reduced.
The two angles are the same, but the Front Angle
Bracket is the one which is the positioning gauge for
each Stanchion, therefore it must be squared with the side
edge of the Base prior to tightening. (See illustration K).
The Rear Angle Bracket need not be squared.
Top View: Face (A) and (B) must be
square to each other as shown. A simple
6 in. square works nicely for this.

ASSEMBLING THE ANGLE BRACKETS TO THE BASE
When the holes are bored and cleaned you are ready to set up the Base.
1. Assemble the two angle brackets to the Base using the four allen head cap screws.
Finger tighten at this point. (See illustration K)
NOTE: The angle brackets are used to support the Base in position while cement cures. Once cured-
they will be removed & discarded. (See illustration N).
2. Using a small square adjust the front angle bracket so it’s square to the top side edge
of the Base. (see illustration K, L and N).
3. While holding the front angle bracket square to the Base, tighten all four cap screws.
4. Re-check the front angle bracket again with the square (see illustration L).
5. Firmly clamp or block shim each end of the rigid straight edge into the Side Rails and against
the oor. Ensure that the centerline marks (which are put on to the straight edge earlier - see
illustration I) are facing upward as these are the marks which you must later line up with the centerline
marks scribed on to the face of the angle brackets (see illustration M).
