Preliminary Notes

There are three basic steps to assembly and installation:

1. Assemble the posts.

2. Install the sign into the posts assembly.

3. Install the posts and sign assembly into the ground.

Assembly

First check to see that all the parts and fasteners in the carton have been located and identified according to illustration 6 on a following page. Also refer to the all of the illustrations to position the parts correctly.

Note that there are two (2) different types of right-angle brackets. There are four (4) of each type. One type has two (2) round threaded nuts installed in the short leg; the other type does not.

Assembly may proceed more easily if all the bolts and screws are not fully tightened until primary assembly has been completed.

1. Set the two 4” square x 80” long posts on their sides on a flat surface. The factory-attached U-channels should be facing each other. See illustration 1.

2. Attach one of each of the two (2) types of right-angle brackets to each post with two (2) 5/16” x 5” long hex head bolts. The two (2) right-angle brackets with the installed nuts mount on the inside of the 4” square by 80” vertical posts; the other two (2) mount on the outside of the posts. The bolts are installed from the outside of each post through the short leg of one outside bracket, through the 4” square post, and then into the nuts installed in the short leg of the inside bracket. The long leg of the right-angle brackets should be positioned toward the bottom end of the 80” post.

3. Attach one of the 3-1/2” square x 40” long cross arms to the two (2) inside right-angle brackets. The U-channel should be facing up or toward the finial ends of the 80” posts. Use two (2) 1/4”-20 x 1/2” long flat-head screws in each end of the cross arm to fasten the cross arm to the right angle brackets.

4. Attach two (2) of the right-angle brackets with installed round threaded nuts inside the other 3-1/2” square x 40” long cross arm with two (2) 1/4”-20 x 1/2” long flat-headed screws for each bracket. The short leg of each bracket should be flush with each end of the cross arm. See illustration 2.
