Tower Installation
The following procedure is described using a 16' (4877 mm) tall Diva Tower.
Taller towers are assembled using the same steps but may need to be spliced together.
Refer to the installation drawings.
Assemble the Tower Frame
1. Assemble the tower frame as shown.
a. Layout both the left and right hand vertical tower frames with the at side of each frame facing
toward the outside.
b. Position the lower cross brace with the weldment bar facing toward the top and align with the third set
of holes in the frames.
c. Position the upper cross braces to align with the next set of holes in the frames and then approximately
every 8' (2438 mm) thereafter.
d. Attach all of the cross braces to both tower frames using two 3/8-16 x 0.750 hex head capscrews
in each side.
The capscrews attach directly to a welded nut on the inside of the cross braces.
2. Set the tower frame assembly aside to attach later.

holding any protective paper to the face of the panels.
3. Cut foam strips to span the entire width of each upper center panel and install it to be fully recessed into
