** for use in applications with low lying obstructures limiting the depth for burial - note this base intended for use with concrete patch -to secure the base.

1. Dig a hole slightly larger than the bottom width of the concrete base.

2. Insert the post or lifting tool into the sleeve and slide it downwards to the bottom of the base. Secure with set screw provided or 3/8" bolt for square tube post.

3. Place the base in the pre-dug hole *leveling the top concrete with ground level. Note: the placement of the base is critical to obtain maximum strength of the base. The concrete of the base should never protrude above ground level. Bases are available in a variety of sizes to meet specifications.

4. To level the post and concrete base, scoop some dirt on the one side of the base while leaning the post in the opposite direction until dirt falls under the base. Repeat this procedure for the other side if necessary. .

5. Once the post is level, refill and pack remaining dirt.In a couple of weeks, rain will compact the ground surrounding thebase making it very stable.

The diagrams depicted are recommended for use in installation of the concrete bases. Ericsson Mfg. Ltd. does not produce the lifting tools but scrap sign post can often be used to create a version of the diagram.

The lifting tool center piece (3 ft in length) made from standard sign post material.

The handle (1 ft length) can be made from angle iron, flat bar, or a square tube piece. For use with the freestanding base, it is recommended the top cross bar material be 3 ft to accommodate the 19" width of the freestanding base. This will allow one person to walk easily on each side of the freestanding base.Tighten set screw or 3/8" bolt to secure tool to the concrete base when lowering into pre-dug hole.
