INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Read the instructions completely before starting and verify you have
the materials and tools listed above.
Step 2: Select a good location for placing your agpole. Check and make
sure there are no power lines above or below ground
Step 3: Dig a hole 12" in diameter and 26" deep in rm or heavy soil.
A larger hole may be necessary in loose or sandy soil.
Step 4: Place the pea rock or gravel in the bottom of the hole and level to a
depth of approximately 4". The pea rock or gravel will help
with drainage.
Step 5: Install the 1/4" stop bolt in the ground sleeve then install the
nut. Tighten nut so that the bolt is not damping down to tight on
the ground sleeve. Check by slipping the ground sleeve onto the
agpole and make sure the sleeve moves freely up and down and
can make contact with the bolt.
Step 6: Place ground sleeve in the center of the hole and lay the level on
the ground across the hole next to the ground sleeve. You should
have 2" of the ground sleeve above ground level. If not remove
ground sleeve and add or remove pea rock or gravel as needed to
obtain the 2" measurement above ground level.
Step 7: Install agpole into the ground sleeve. Using the masking tape,
tape the rst 2" of the ground sleeve and 10" of the bottom of the
agpole. This will keep the concrete from making contact with the
exposed ground sleeve and the ag pole in the next step.
Step 8: Pour concrete into mixing container and the mix as directed.
Step 9: Have your assistant hold the agpole in the center of the hole
and use the level to check the agpole’s alignment. Now pourthe
concrete into the hole until it is level with the ground. Check two
locations on the pole 90 degrees apart with the level to ensure the
pole is straight up and down. Allow concrete to set before removing
pole from the ground sleeve
Step 10: Let concrete harden according to the manufacturer’s requirements.
We recommend placing a warning ag or some object by the
ground sleeve. This will protect the ground sleeve from being
disturbed as well as eliminate the chances of personal injury while
the cement hardens. Remove masking tape.
Step 11: Install provided Hose Clamp at top of ground sleeve and tighten
around pole.
