Appendix B. Installing a CM106B
tripod
Contact local utility providers to locate any buried utilities prior to installation. Assemble the
tripod so that the top is 2.54 m (100 inches) from the ground.
First, prepare the area where the tripod will be installed. The tripod requires an area
approximately 2.7 to 3.5 m (8.7 to 11.5 ft) in diameter. See Site selection (p. 7). Next, using a
sledge hammer or fence post driver, drive the grounding rod into the ground where the center of
the tripod is to be located.
B.1 Tripod base
1. Stand the tripod base up on end and rotate the feet perpendicular to the legs.
2. Each leg has a leg clamp and clamping bolt as shown in the following image. Loosen the
tension bolt and extend each leg.
