Prepare Footing & Insert Anchor Bolts
a. To ensure adequate support, the concrete footing used to
mount this lamp post should be at least 12" X 12" and 16"
deep. Consult local electrical codes for required footing depth, wiring
type and other restrictions. Level forms for footing using a Builder's
Level. Mix concrete so that it is stiff. Concrete should be poured
around the conduit carrying power to the fixture (see Diagram A).
b. Wrap Base in plastic bag, as shown in Diagram B, to prevent concrete
form getting onto base. Thread hex nut on anchor bolts completely,
as shown in Diagram B. Make small holes in bottom of plastic bag to
allow each anchor bolts and wiring to pass through base.
c. Insert the supplied anchor bolts through plastic bag into the post base
and secure with cap nuts as shown in Diagram B. Be careful not to
overtighten hex nuts as excess pressure may cause damage to post
base. Use tape to patch any holes in bag.
d. Set the base and anchor bolt assembly into the wet concrete, as shown
in Diagram C, by gently wiggling the base while pressing downward
until the bottom of the base is flush with the concrete. Make certain
that concrete has completely covered the anchor bolts.
e. Check the base to see that it is level in both directions, as shown in
Diagram D.
f. Leave base (wrapped in plastic bag) and anchor bolt assembly attached
until concrete has
cured. Finish concrete.
g. To install post on a wood deck use 3/8" wood screws (not included).
