7.
Grasp hurricane piston lock (Fig. 12).
Depress the pistons until ush with the end
of housing (Fig. 13). Rotate piston retainer
pins to lock pistons into the depressed
position (Fig. 14).
8.
Insert piston into Aluminum Structural
Column aligning the holes in the column
with the pistons (Fig 15).
Tip:
Using pliers to hold piston lock may simplify
installation.
Now move the retaining pins to the second
notch on the housing which will engage the
pistons inside the aluminum column but
still allow the base to pass over the pistons
when placed on the column (Fig. 15).
Place the remaining base over the column
and ush to the vinyl sleeve with the holes
in the collar of the base aligned with the
pistons, release the pins to their nal
position locking the base to the column. Be
sure the base is rmly attached (Fig. 16).
9.
Set your post at the desired location and
secure the top mounting plate with 4 low-
prole fasteners. Do not forget to install the
gasket if you are mounting the post on ACQ
lumber or concrete (Fig. 17).
Plumb the post in both directions and mark
the bottom mounting plate location (Fig. 18
& 19).
NOTE: The aluminum base plates are
narrower on one side to help the post swing
into place with minimum effort.
