Setting up the Backhaul

The Weighted Base (70-0070) is another option for use when staking is impractical (see “E.

Weighted Base” on page 182).

1 Gather all of the backhaul components.

2 Refer to the deployment instructions to

determine the location and compass heading to

the next back haul site closer to central.

3 Use the compass to determine and mark that

direction.

4 Use the following considerations while

positioning the base:

Ɣ Locate the base such that the guy lines and

the mast clear obstructions during erection

and while in operation.

Ɣ If the ground is sloped, position the base

such that when the base is flush to the

ground, the bracket orientation allows the

mast to remain perpendicular to the ground.
