Step 1.

Dig a lengthwise hole approximately 10-12 inches long by 6-8 inches wide and approx.12 inches in depth.

Step 6.

Use the two 1 ½x ¼ inch stainless steel screws provided to affix the adapter through the two middle slots onto the metal stand. You can use small neoprene washers between the adapter and the screw holes on top of stand, if desired.

Step 7.
