a crane or an independent lifting system for the installation of the first two (2) anchors.
** Base with adjustable jack legs: the first anchor must be put in place within the 20'-0" (6m) from the ground. Install the
subsequent anchors at "typical" spacing from one another. See « *** »bellow.
*** The typical spacing between anchors is 30'-0" (9 m) ± 10'-0" (3 m), however it is forbidden to install two (2)
subsequent anchors with more than a 10'-0" (3 m) difference compared to the two next/previous anchors set.
Valid example: (anchors 1-2 = distance of 25'-0" (7,5 m) and anchors 2-3 = distance of 35'-0" (10,5 m)).
Invalid example :(anchors 1-2 = distance of 25'-0" (7,5 m) and anchors 2-3 = distance of 40'-0" (12 m)).
