To install the bolts, you need:
-
Check that the mast foundation bolt is at the correct height and
vertical.
| Make sure that approximately 60 mm
(2.36 in) of the foundation bolt is above the surface of the mast foundation. |
-
Make sure that the holes are free of dust, and clean and dry.
-
Check the instructions of the chemical anchor manufacturer before use.
| The chemical anchor may harden very
fast. Work in a coordinated manner and follow the instructions and the given working
times. |
-
Fill the holes with chemical anchor.
-
Place the foundation bolts in the holes, and turn the bolts to make sure the chemical
anchor paste spreads evenly.
Extra paste flows out from the
holes.
-
To push the foundation bolts all the way in, lightly tap the bolts with a hammer.
-
Check the instructions of the chemical anchor manufacturer for the time it takes for
the chemical anchor to set. Leave the chemical anchor to set.
