MINUTE MAN ANCHORS 28726 TR#8524 RATED 6000 LBS 3 TO 1 SAFETY FACTOR RATED 8000 LBS 2.25 TO 1 SAFETY FACTOR 2"MAX EXTENSION WARNING!DO NOT USE TO JACK HOME MINUTE MAN PIER SET-UP PROCEDURES I Designed and manufactured for use under mobile and manufactured homes and commercial structures, the support pier is best suited to a dry environment. Minute Man piers are not recommended for use within 1500 foot of a coastline or in an application where the base of the pier would be immersed in water. All support piers must be attached to the I-beams with an appropriate pier head, to prevent horizontal movement. 2 Use hydraulic jacks or other suitable devices to level the chassis beam of the home. Be sure to use sufficient jacks and safety blocking to safely support the home before installing support piers. Level the chassis using a water level or other leveling device for accuracy. After the chassis is leveled using hydraulic jacks and levels, you may begin to install the support piers. 3 Using the appropriate pier for the installation, determine the pier height that will be best for each individual pier location and insure that the height to the bottom of the chassis beam is no greater than 36 inches. Insure that the pier caps are appropriate for the type of chassis beam or for the marriage line. 4 Prepare a level surface at the location of each pier. Use coarse sand or gravel, if necessary to prepare the surface so as to have full contact for the footing pad. The surface of the footing pad needs to be high enough to insure that the base of the support pier does not come into contact with any drainage water that may be present under the home. Do not set a footing pad on organic material. Use the appropriate type and size of footing pad for the load required. Refer to the home manufacturer's installation manual for specific loads and footing sizes; and to the governing authority in the locale in which you are installing. 5 Locate the support pier on the footing pad, making certain to center the support pier on the pier pad. Where required by local code, secure the support pier to the footing pad with appropriate fasteners. In no case are you to extend the threaded rod adjuster more than 2 inches. When more height is needed, use the next taller size support pier. Carefully align the support pier under the chassis beam or marriage line and install the pier head. Tighten and snug plus one-half turn. 6 Repeat this installation process with each pier. After all support piers are installed, you may then remove the safety blocking and hydraulic jacks used to initially level the chassis. 8.
