WINDMILL ANCHOR INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT NOTE:
• OutdoorWaterSolutionsWindmills™willnotdeterminesoilandwindconditions
for any windmill installation. Therefore, these conditions must be determined by the
customer. Anchoring of the windmill tower is very important. It is the customer’s
responsibility to adequately anchor the tower. Outdoor Water Solutions, Inc.
supplies a basic anchoring kit with each unit. However, in certain circumstances —
such as light soil conditions and high-to-extreme wind areas — it may be necessary
to utilize other anchoring techniques. Concrete piling, concrete pads, or screw-in
anchors are some examples. The customer is responsible to anchor the windmill
adequately, or consult the appropriate people to do so.
• Readthroughthisentireprocedurepriortobeginning.
1. Choose an area in your yard (approximately 3’ x 3’) that is level, or close to level.
2. Stand the assembled windmill up on the location you have selected for installation.
3. Drive the stakes into the ground through the anchor brackets. Make sure to leave the stake clamps at
approximately the same height, to simplify the leveling process.
4. Level the windmill as follows:
a. Starting with the highest leg, drive the stake until it is ¼” above the stake clamp, as shown in Figure 16. Tighten
the ¼" x 1" bolt in the stake clamp, to secure the leg to the stake.
b. Moving in a clockwise direction, move the stake clamp on the next leg to the top of the stake, leaving ¼”
above the stake. Tighten the ¼" x 1" bolt in the stake clamp, to secure the leg to the stake. Drive the stake into
the ground until the leg is level with the last secured leg.
c. Repeat ‘b.’ above, until the tower base is level.
