3.4 Adjusting the Concrete Stanchion Post
The stanchion post must be oriented in the direction of the HLL, see Figures 7 and 8. The plate at the top
of the post has one hole where the HLL will be attached and a second hole on the opposite side where the
chain connector will be attached. Both of these holes must be aligned with the HLL (wide direction of the
post parallel with the HLL). In addition, the post can be adjusted to the right, left, or vertical depending on
the requirements of the application.
(1) Remove the stanchion post in the receiver socket on the stanchion base.
(2) Install the stanchion so the plate at the top of the stanchion post is along the length of the HLL.
(3) Align the bottom hole of the stanchion post with the bottom hole of the receiver socket.
(4) Install a 1/2 in. diameter bolt through the bottom hole. See Figure 9.
(5) Attach a nut and washer, and finger-tighten them.
(6) The stanchion post can stay in the vertical position or tilt to the left or right.
• To keep the stanchion post vertical, install a second 1/2 in. diameter bolt into the top center hole.
• To tilt the stanchion post to the right, install a second 1/2 in. diameter bolt into the right hole.
• To tilt the stanchion post to the left, a second 1/2 in. diameter bolt into the left hole.
(7) When the stanchion is in the applicable position, torque both nuts to 115 ft-lbf (155 Nm).
