1. Lay string line or straight edge across the tank riser at finished grade height.
2. Cut the riser pipe so that the top edge will be 15.0" (381 mm) +/- 1.5" (38.1 mm) from
finished grade. The actual height (elevated grade) of the bucket will be 1.0" (25.4 mm)
above finished grade to ensure proper water run-off (sloped dome).
Note: Cut the riser pipe square/perpendicular to endure a flat sealing surface.

13.5 - 16.5" (34.3 - 16.5 cm)
4. Check the height of the riser pipe compared to finished grade level. Lay a straight edge
across the excavated area and measure from grade to the top of the riser pipe. The riser
pipe must be between 13.5" (343 mm) and 16.5" (419 mm).
5. If the riser pipe is too long, it must be re-cut or replaced to obtain appropriate length.
