8" x 8" plates
should be set in the cement pad, flush with the top. Set in appx. 8" off each corner to prevent cracking.
We recommend 8" x 8" square plates x a minimum of 1/4" thick
steel, with re-bar set in the cement.
Customer is asked to install wiring from the power source to the horse walker
and connect it to the cover box on the machine. If the customer does not want
to install the wiring please make arrangements with a qualified electrician
to do the work. Trojan Manufacturing also asks the customer to furnish cement
for the installation of the horse walker unit, (usually 4 to 5 sacks of ready
mix).
Please note:
If your area has particularly sandy soil a cement pad may be preferred. A cement
pad also pretty much eliminates grass and weeds growing in the Horsewalker
area.
