+
The location must be smooth, horizontally level, able to bear the weight of the carbon tower and vibration free
+
The location area must fall within the ambient conditions as listed on page 6
+
Allow a clearance of at least 3' on all sides of the carbon tower in order easily facilitate all maintenance needs
