About this file
This document appears to be a set of installation instructions for an internal halyard flagpole system. It provides detailed steps for assembling and installing the flagpole, winch, and cable components. Key details include:
The document contains instructions for properly setting the flagpole foundation, assembling the sectional pole, installing the winch and cable system, and properly hoisting the flag. It includes diagrams and illustrations to aid the installation process. These instructions are intended to be used in conjunction with a federal contract opportunity for the removal of an existing dump station and related site improvements at the Cross Lake Recreation Area.
The related federal contract opportunity is for the "Dump Station Removal & Area Improvement" project at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Cross Lake Recreation Area in Crosslake, Minnesota. The scope of work includes removal of the existing dump station, installation of new concrete sidewalks and paver paths, construction of a new pergola with swing, installation of a bike rack, sprinkler system updates, and landscaping.

INTERNAL HALYARD FOUNDATION INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Dig foundation hole four to six times the butt diameter of the flagpole.
2. Set the foundation tube so that the top of the foundation tube is two inches above grade.
3. Plumb foundation tube and brace so that it will not move during the pouring of the concrete.
4. Pour concrete and trowel up even with top of foundation tube. Keep inside of foundation tube dry.
| 5. | Lay | pole | on | sawhorses | and | unwrap. | For | sectional | poles | check | both | ends | for | any | burrs. | If |
| any | are | found, | file | them | off | and | wipe | the | areas | clean. | Liquid | Soap | the | jamb | sleeves. | Align |
| the | arrows | and/or | numbers | on | each | section | and | jamb | together. | Numbers | must | be | identical | |||
| for | a | proper | fit. |
6. Turn to the next page for winch and cable assembly.
| 7. | Screw | ball | into | truck | and | tighten | ball | set | screw. | Ball | should | be | tightened | into | truck | tightly |
| by | turning | stem | of | ball | with | wrench. | Do | not | tighten | by | turning | ball | proper. | Ball | optional | on |
| internal | halyard | poles. |
| 8. | If | flash | collar | is | provided | with | pole, | slide | collar | on | from | the | bottom | of | pole | to | above | winch |
| level | and | attach | flash | collar | by | tying | to | the | pole | with | line | to | hold | flash | collar | until | after | |
| erection | of | pole. | Then | remove | line, | slide | collar | down, | caulk | between | the | collar | and | the | ||||
| pole | with | waterproof | sealant | (like | roofing | cement | of | asphaltum | sealant). |
| 9. | Erect | pole | into | foundation | tube | and | center | it. | Turn | so | that | the | access | door | is | in | the |
| direction | desired. |
| 10. | Place | wood | wedges | (supplied | by | others) | between | the | pole | and | the | foundation | tube | and |
| plumb | pole. |
| 11. | Pack | dry | sand | between | the | pole | and | foundation | tube. | Leave | two | inches | void | at | the | top |
| and | fill | with | waterproof | sealant | to | keep | water | out | of | the | sand. |
IMPORTANT:
| When | erecting | sectional | flagpoles, | never | place | your | sling | above | the | joint. | Sling | must | be |
| positioned | below | the | joint, | thus | eliminating | the | possibility | that | the | two | sections | could | |
| separate | during | hoisting. |
CAUTION
Extreme caution should be exercised when installing flagpoles near overhead power lines or in the vicinity of buries cables.

ACCESSORY ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. For ease of assembly, the upper and lower cable assemblies have been pre-assembled at our factory.
| 2. | Locate | truck | with | factory | installed | cable | assemblies | (See | Illustration | #1). | ||||||
| 3. | Locate | lower | cable | assembly; | this | will | be | the | cable | exiting | from | the | threaded | portion | of | the |
| truck | (See | Illustration | #1). | ||||||||||
| 4. | Using | an | electrical | “FISH | TAPE” | feed | lower | cable | assembly | through | the | 1-1/2” | threaded |
| hole | at | the | top | of | the | flagpole, | pull | lower | cable | through | entire | length | of | flagpole. | ||||
| 5. | A | winch | hole | with | a | slotted | keyway | will | be | found | about | 4 | ft. | above | grade | from | the | bottom |
| of | the | pole. | Using | extreme | caution, | reach | into | this | hole, | grasp | cable | and | pull | about | 4 | ft. | of |
| cable | through | this | hole | (See | Illustration | #2). | USE CAUTION, THE EDGES OF THIS HOLE |
MAY BE SHARP!
| 6. | You | should | now | have | all | but | a | few | inches | of | the | lower | cable | assembly | inside | of | the | flagpole, | |
| or | at | the | lower | end | of | the | flagpole. | If | this | is | not | the | case, | then | repeat | steps | 1 | thru | 5. |
| 7. | Screw | the | truck | assembly | into | the | top | of | the | flagpole | securely. | ||||||
| 8. | If | steps | 1 | thru | 7 | have | been | satisfactorily | completed, | then | you | are | now | ready | to | install | the |
| WINCH | ASSEMBLY. | ||||||||||||||||
| 9. | Locate | the | winch | assembly. | Remove | the | cylinder | lock | keys | which | are | taped | to | the | side | of | the |
| winch | assembly. | Remove | the | hex | drive | countersunk | stainless | steel | screw | from | the | rear | of | the | ||||
| winch. | Put | keys | and | screw | in | a | safe | location. | You | will | have | to | use | them | in | a | later | step. |
| 10. | To | remove | the | lock | from | winch, | insert | key, | turn | counter-clockwise | and | pull | until | the | cylinder |
| comes | out. |
| 11. | Locate | cable | retaining | hole | and | cable | retaining | set | screw | (See | Illustration | #3). | With | painted | |||||
| surface | of | winch | in | left | hand | and | unpainted | surface | in | your | right | hand, | look | into | window | ||||
| of | winch. | You | will | see | a | 1/8” | hole | located | on | right | side | of | the | winch | drum. | This | is | the | cable |
retaining hole.
| 12. | Take | loose | end | of | cable | that | is | protruding | from | the | winch | hole | and | insert | into | the | cable | |
| retaining | hole. | At | this | point | it | is | important | not | to | expose | any | cable | on | the | other | side | of | the |
| drum | (See | Illustration | #3). |
| 13. | Locate | crank | handle. | Insert | into | recess | and | push | in | and | turn | clockwise | until | cable | retaining |
| set | screw | is | exposed. |
| 14. | Using | appropriate | size, | align | wrench | and | tighten | set | screw | securely | (See | Illustration | #3). | ||||
| 15. | Using | a | square | keyway | as | a | pathway | for | the | 1/8” | cable, | insert | the | cartridge | into | the | winch |
| hole | (See | Illustration | #4). | ||||||||||||||
| 16. | Locate | 1/2” | hole | which | is | directly | opposite | the | winch | hole. | Align | this | hole | with | the | hole | in |
| the | cartridge, | insert | screw | and | tighten | securely | (See | Illustration | #5). | |||||
| 17. | With | cartridge | winch | properly | installed, | insert | crank | into | crank | socket. | Push | in | and | turn |
| CLOCKWISE | until | the | upper | cable | starts | to | move | toward | the | top | of | the | flagpole. | |
| 18. | Locate | the | rubber | coated | counterweight | and | attach | temporarily | to | open | chain | link | at | loose |
end of the upper cable.
