sembly.
Assemble the three tower sections by placing
each succeeding smaller tower section into the

Installation of Tubing Clamps

Select the proper size tube clamp as shown in

clamps, place the clamp near the tube end with
the top of the clamp over the slot in the tube as
shown in Figure 5A.
Secure the tower legs using two (2) 3/8" x 3/4"
hex bolts per splice. The nuts (12) and bolts (12)
