Fixing Instructions:
ALL SUBSTRATES - This fixing kit comprises two separate, yet identical, fixing points designed to clamp the first section (thickest diameter) of the Hawk Kite's telescopic pole at the top and bottom.
For optimum performance the Hawk Kite pole should be mounted at a slight angle 5-10 degrees off vertical to allow the Hawk Kite to hang away from the pole when there is no wind. In doing so the Hawk Kite will be far less likely to wind itself around the pole in low wind conditions, which in-turn will reduce maintenance requirements and prolong the working life of both the Fly-lead and also the Hawk Kite itself. The upper and lower fixings should be located at 920mm centres from each other.
FIXING HAWK KITE TO MASONRY:
Tools required:
Masonry Drill, 10mm Masonry Drill Bit
6mm spanner, 10mm spanner & 13mm spanner OR 2 x adjustable spanners
Philips head screwdriver or flat head screwdriver
- Mark the position of the two fixings on the wall 920mm apart
- Drill a 10mm diameter hole, 50mm deep on each of the marks in the masonry
- Insert masonry plug and gently tap home if necessary
- Using a 6mm spanner wind the double threaded shaft in to the plug using the course thread
- As an alternative to a 6mm spanner a torx head driver may be inserted into the end of the shaft for driving it
- Wind the clamp fitting onto the fine threaded end of the double threaded shaft and lock in position using the 6mm spanner on the shaft and a 13mm spanner on the clamp fitting.
- Place the pole into the clamp fitting and hand tighten the two 10mm bolts either side evenly using a screwdriver.
- Finally tighten the clamp screws using a 10mm spanner being careful not to over-tighten them as the fiberglass pole could become damaged through excessive force
FIXING HAWK KITE TO TIMBER
Tools required:
Drill/driver with a 5mm timber drill bit
6mm spanner, 10mm spanner & 13mm spanner OR 2 x adjustable spanners
Philips head screwdriver or flat head screwdriver
- Mark the position of the two fixings on the timber 920mm apart
- Drill a 5mm diameter pilot hole, 50mm deep on each of the marks in the timber
- Using a 6mm spanner wind the double threaded shaft in to the timber using the course thread
- As an alternative to a 6mm spanner a torx-head driver may be inserted into the end of the shaft for driving it
- Wind the clamp fitting onto the fine threaded end of the double threaded shaft and lock in position using the 6mm spanner on the shaft and a 13mm spanner on the clamp fitting.
- Place the pole into the clamp fitting and hand tighten the two 10mm bolts either side evenly using a screwdriver.
- Finally tighten the clamp screws using a 10mm spanner being careful not to over-tighten them as the fiberglass pole could become damaged through excessive force
