Disclaimer
BEGA North America warrants the specific anchor bolts and pole combination as indicated on the submittal sheet. Structural changes to the pole requested by the customer, including changes to pole length, may affect the compatibility of the anchor bolts and corresponding poles. BEGA North America is not liable for incompatibility of anchor bolts and poles resulting from such structural changes without review by the BEGA North America engineering department. This includes, but is not limited to, labor charges, replacement material costs, and shipping. For safety reasons, do not mount more than 50 lbs. to hinged poles and more than 62 lbs. to fixed poles. Pole capacities are based on AASHTO 2013 (LTS-6) provisions and assume a maximum vertical eccentricity of 2'-0" above the pole top. Adequate drainage must be provided in the concrete foundation or grout. Do not seal the base of the pole. Due to structural reasons, do not install the pole without a fixture or other appropriate weight on top. BEGA North America is not responsible for ensuring local code compliance of anchor bolts, poles, or pole tops, including wind speed or ice loading calculations.
