MAKE SURE SECTIONS ARE MARKED AS REQUIRED BY INSTRUCTIONS ON SHEET 3 10. LOOK FOR HIGH SPOTS OR BURRS ON THE FEMALE AND MALE SECTIONS, REMOVE IF NECESSARY 11. SWWP RECOMMENDS BUILDING IN HORIZONTAL POSITION, AND THEN CRANE INTO PLACE. USE COMMON DISH DETERGENT TO LUBRICATE THE ENDS OF THE SECTIONS AND ALIGN LONGITUDINAL WELD SEAMS ON ALL TOWER SECTIONS PRIOR TO ASSEMBLY. INSERT 1" BY 2 FOOT LONG MILD STEEL RODS IN HOLES PROVIDED ON INDIVIDUAL SECTIONS OF TOWER. USE COME-ALONG MINIMUM 2 TON CAPACITY CHAIN COME-ALONG IS REQUIRED ON EACH SIDE. DRAW SECTIONS TOGETHER UNTIL DESIGN SLIP LENGTH IS ACQUIRED OR CHAIN COME-ALONG REACHES MAXIMUM STRAIN.
