Align Base Plates; Install Footings - BLIKIR RCP-2 G4 Installation Manual

1.4 Align the Base Plates
1 X
(1)
Wait for the concrete to solidify.
Your kit includes 1 base plate template.
Align the base plate template (1) with the horizontally punched hole facing forward.
Use the footings locations template to locate the other base plates accurately. You should measure exactly 18'
between the center of adjacent footings or 17' between the internal edge of the base plate, and 25'-5 ½" between
the center of the base plate along the diagonal (see sketch on page 9 of this installation manual). These
measurements change when installing the EX-HD base plates, Tandem Kit or RCP-1 for one car.

1.5 Install footings

1 X
(1)
Mark the locations of the anchors and remove the column base plate template (1).
Using a concrete drill bit, create holes that are ⅛" larger than the specified rod size for your location. Install the
four concrete anchors (not provided by us) into the concrete. Please follow the installation instructions and torques
specified by the Encore manufacturer for the specific type being used.
OPTION A: Place the escutcheon plate (6) over the footing to conceal the concrete anchors and base plate (1).
OPTION B: As an alternative installation method, you may choose to dig the piers (section 1.2 of the installation
manual) 3" to 5" deeper than the specified requirement. Position the base anchors lower than the surface, and
after completing the installation, cover the base anchors with gravel and additional concrete to conceal the footing
in concrete. The use of gravel is necessary to facilitate proper water drainage.
