enough to have 1 or 2 threads showing on the top of the bolt. Place the wedge end of the bolt into

one of the holes, going through the outside tension bracket, metal Vector pad and into the concrete.

If adding longitudinal stabilization, drill the two holes on the side using the pad as a guide.

Insert wedge anchors using the same method as 8-11.

13. Install strap protectors over I-beam and bend into place. Attach a hook or swivel strap to the inside

tie bracket, with sufficient length to go over strap protector on opposite I-beam and down the

14. Tighten inside u-bolts at this time.

15. Use the outside tension brackets to remove any space between the outside tension brackets,

concrete blocks and the inside edge of the Vector pad, by tapping the brackets with a hammer.

Wedge the pier set at this time.

17. Using a slotted bolt in the outside tension brackets, insert strap through slotted bolt with end of strap

aligned with outside edge of bolt. Turn slotted bolt until straps are tight using at least 4 to 5 turns on

the slotted bolts.
