!WARNING
•Make certain power is OFF before starting installation or attempting any maintenance.
•FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
General: Upon receipt of pole thoroughly inspect for any freight damage, which should be brought to the attention of the delivery carrier. Compare the catalog description listed on the packing slip with the label on the pole to be sure the correct merchandise has been received.
Safety: This pole must be grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Safety Code and applicable local codes and
ordinances. Proper grounding is required to insure personal safety. Carefully observe grounding procedure under installation section. This pole is not suitable for Hazardous or Classified Locations. This product must be installed in accordance with the applicable instal- lation code by a person familiar with the construction and operation of the product and the hazards involved. Consult a qualified electri- cian to ensure correct branch circuit conductor.
ANCHOR BOLTS
1.Only bolt and nut kits supplied by Cooper Lighting should be used.
2.Existing anchor bolts or bolt adapters supplied by other than Cooper Lighting should not be used. If they are, Cooper Lighting assumes no responsibility in case of bolt or adapter failure.
3.Anchor bolt and nuts from other sources should be used only on the advice of a Structural Engineer. Fasteners not suitable for this application can result in bolt and/or thread failure and consequent collapse of the pole.
CAUTION: Use of nuts from other manufacturers with Cooper Lighting bolts may result in thread failure caused by improper thread fit.
4.In addition to electrical conduit and other equipment necessary to the installation, the foundation bolts should be cast into concrete, in conformance with the template drawing supplied with the anchor bolts for each particular pole.
CAUTION:
A.Check all templates for dimensional accuracy before using them to locate bolt position in the foundation.
B.Be certain that anchor bolts are properly located to provide the desired directional orientation of the pole.
C.Be certain that the anchor bolts are plumbed vertically, and they extend above the finished surface of the foundation to the extent called for on the bolt template drawing.
FOUNDATIONS
Since local soil and frost conditions vary widely a Civil Engineer familiar with these conditions should be consulted regarding dimensions and depths of foundations.
POLE ERECTION AND FIXTURE INSTALLATION
1.All Cooper Lighting steel poles are to be installed using two nuts on each anchor bolt. The first nuts are to be run down on the thread to the top of the foundation and be checked using a hand level to ensure that the top surfaces of all these nuts are the same height. The pole should then be installed with its base plate holes over the bolts and the second nut screwed down to a moderate degree of tightness. The pole then should be checked and adjustments made to ensure that the pole is plumb. When this is satisfactory, tighten the top nuts to the proper torque values as shown using torque wrench.
