Examine the soil type under the proposed hone locailon to make sure it is suitable for placement of a home. The design of the home's support system, including fooling/pier spacing and size, will in pert be determinetl by the bearing capacity of the soil, and if ground anchors are used, by the soil's withdrawal strength. The soil under every portion of the support system must meet the following criteria: • The soil must be fine end undisturbed (not previously excavated) or fill com- pacted to at least 90% of its maximum relative density. Uncompactetl fill will settle over time, causing the home fo shift antl become unlevel. • Fill must not contain large debris.

Pleaee reed the Jacking Safety Precautions before lifting fhe home wkh jacks. • No one shoultl be under the home's I -beams while fhe jacks are being oper- ated or while the home is supportetl only on the jacks. • Usejacks only for raising the home. Do not rely on the jacks to support the home. • If possible, raise the home only on one Side so that the other side is in cerdad with the ground. Leave fhe hHch connected M the vehlUe ar other stabilizing equipment. • Obey all OSHA regulations. • Make sure atlequate safety cribbing (Figure 17) is in place whenever the home Is placed on jacks. • Use a minimum of lwo commercial quality jacks, each with a reting of ai least 12 tons. • Jack only on the main chassis I-beam, centering jacks directly under the beam. • Do not jack on a seam (loint between flanges of twin I -beams). • To distribute the concentreted loads from jacks to I-beam, place a minimum 3/&inch 1hIUr steel plate, a Cchannel, a 1 %inch thick hartlwood block or a cemmeraal jacking plate, between the mein chassis I-beam and the jack head. • Locale the jack base on firm ground. Never jack on freshly disturbed soil or where an underground sewer pipe may be located. • Use a fine support under the jack base fo prevent tipping or settling of the jack. A minimum 16" x 16" or larger wood or rigid fberglass pad is recommended. Never use concrete blocks as a support for a jack. Follow the jacking sequence outlined below to avoid overstressing structuralmembere: 1. Block wheels. Block the wheels so the house does not roll. 2. Install cribbing. Install safety cribbing (Figure 17). J 3. Level lengthwise. Locale one jack at the hitch antl level the section length- wise (such that the front and rear of the seUlon are at the same height). 4. LocaM fame Jacks. Place a minimum of one jackjust forward of the fret spring hanger and anotherJust behind the last spring hanger of the I-beam on the side of the home that is lowest (making sure not to place jacks where the piers will go). Place jacks no more then 20 feet apart and rp more than ZO feet from each end of the I-0eam. 5. Lift the home. Operating the jacks simultaneously (or sequentialy in very small increments), lift fhe home section until H is slightly higher than the Flnal desired pier height. ROLLER SYSTEMS When using a roller system, comply with the equipment manufacturer's directions and the fUlowing sequence: Figure 17. Stack 0"x 6"by 5' long timbers as shown to form safety Nmbers. Place safety timbers under home behind axle area antl under hHch. i. F�tablish staging area. Establish a staging area directly atljacent to one or pllli both sitles of }he foundation. 2. Setup rollers. Set up the roller system according to the equipment manuferr ar°�° m Curers directions. xmcss 3. Fasten bump blocks. Temporarily fasten wooden bump blocks on the sill plates at the ends of the Foundation to stop the home from rolling at the de- sired location. 4. Roll home. Roll the home into place over the foundation. 5. Rsmova bump blocks. Remove the blocks before installing the neM section of amulti-section home. CRANES When using a crane, Tollow these guidelines: • Position the home sedion(s) end crane (taking the boom reach into consid- aretion)such that they do not have to be repositioned dudng the set. • Use enough properly sized straps 1n maintain balance of the home and to prevent damage to the structure. • Place straps under walls or posts, including temporery posts used to support the opening. Do not position IIPong straps under marriage wall openings. I • Use a properly sizetl spreader bar to maintain a vertical lift, to avoid placing compression forces on the eaves and to reduce any tendency to slip. • Conned a rope to at least one point on the home so it can ba controlled while aloft. • Make provisions to retrieve the atreps/p61es after the home is set. If using a I � credle system, notch the sill plate where the straps will fall. For a sling sys- tem, notch end reinforce the home's rim joist to keep the strap from slipping �i and allow the strap to be removed after the home is set. 'i • Always set the home section farthest from the crane first so that subsequent I sedion(s) need not be lifted over previously set sections. STEP 4.

When using split caps on double -stacked block piers, install the caps with the long dimension perpendicular to the joint in the blocks below end to the main I- beam. -,. Install shims. Use shims to level the home antl fll any gaps between the base of the I-beam end the top of the pier cap. Always use shims in pairs (Figure 19). Drive them in tightly so they do not occupy more than one inch of vertical space. When the space to be shimmed is greater than one inch end less than the minimum thickness of available caps or concrete blocks, use hardwood tlimensionel lumber (two inches maximum thickness) or 2° or 4" thick concrete block. For split caps, install shims antl tlimensional lum- ber/blocks over each individual cap. 5. Setup level. Set up a water level with the fluid level et the desired height of the main piers. Carefully lower the side of the section down onto the leveled piers, adjus8ng the final height with shims. USING A WATER LEVEL A water level is a standard device for leveling the home.

In the roof cavity (p. 50). • In floor, through -the -rim joist (p. 50) To prevent air leakage, seal all ductwork wnnedions, including tlud collars using one or more of the following materials: • Galvanized metal straps in combination with galvanized sheet metal screws. • For rigid air ducts and connectors, tape and mastics listed to UL 181A. • For flexible air ducts and connectors, tape and mastics listed to UL 181 B. UNDER FLOOR FLEXIBLE CROSSOVER DUCT When heating or cooling equipment is installed in the home, the flezible crossover duct is provided by the manufacturer. In all cases the crossover tluct must be listed for ezte- rior use. There are four common confgurations of antler floor crossover duds depending on the number of home sections and fhefurnace/air handler location. See Table 20 to locate the appropriate figure.

Install Stabilizing Systems This chapter covers the design and installation of the stabilizing system which secures the home against latarel and up- wartl forces caused by wind. The system covered here uses earVi (or ground) anchors and steel sVaps connected to the home's longitudinal steel beams and/or anterior walls. Stabilizer plates may also be used to prevent the anchor head from moving laterelty in the ground. An anchor, strap, and stabilizer plate (if usetl) together are referred to es a tie -down. Anchors can also be mounted in concrete footings when there is enough concrete mass (weight) to resist the lateral and upward forces. This type of system is not covered in this manual. STEP 1.

The vertical tie-tlown anchor straps (or brackets for connecting to the home) are factory installed and indicate the locations. Vertical and frame sidewal Itie-downs may connect to one double -headed anchor or each to its own dedicated anchor. My factory -installed sidewall tie -down straps must be connected to a ground anchor regartlless of the wind zone in which the home is placed. END WALL FRAME ANCHOR$ End well frame fie -downs are especially important for homes that are wider antl have higher roof pitches because those features increase the surface area exposed to wind loads at the entls of the home.

In -line anchors can also be installed before the home is set, however, precisely aligning the anchor with the home both vertically and horizontally is difficult. Using swivel connectors for the strap to beam connecllon can provide some hodzontal flexibility. To install in -line frame anchors, ddve the anchor into the grountl at an angle and loca- 1 tion such that a streigM line can be drawn from the tip of the anchor through the anchor , head and to the connecton point on the I-beam (Figure 88). Stablllzer Plate Configure8on Stabilizer plate configurations (Figure 88) are suitable for homes in all wintl zones. An- chors maybe installed after the home is set A stabilizer device, Typically an ABS or metal plate, is used to prevent the top of the anchor from slidng through the soil when the loatl is applied. Stabilizer plates ere available in a variety of widths. Choose the witlesi plate that can be driven Into the soil to maximize resistance to movement. The LAHJ may have stabilizer plate requirements. Install anchors with stabilzer plates as follows: 1. Locate anchor. Select a location for the anchor untlar the home but within six inches of the exterior wall (Figure 68).

Homes equipped this way contain all necessary conduits to the electrical distribution panel. However, the feeder conductors (not provided with the home) are installed on site. If the masthead is located above the roof overhang, allow a minimum Gearance of eight feat above all roof points that the conductors pass over. There are two exceptions to this rule: (1) The vertical clearance may be reducetl to three feet if the roof has a minimum slope of 4 in 12; and (2) The vertical clearance may be retluced to 18 inches if no more than four feet of seMce-drop conductors pass above the roof overhang, and if they terminate at a Through -the -roof raceway or approved support. A minimum cleer- ence must also be provided from the final grede to the service -drop conductors. This measurement may vary from 10 feet to 78 feet, depending on the Types of trefic antici- pated below the service drop (refer to the NEC). Unless imprecfical, locate service heatls above the point d attachment of the service-tlrop conductors antl make them rein -tight. If indivitlual conductors do not eMend downward, forth tldp loops. From below —underside junction box feeder A section of conduit is factory installed through the floor cavity. Connect to that conduit wish approved fittings and conduk (not provided with the home) to the point where the service entrance cable enters the crawl space. Install properiyeized service entrance conductors from the main power supply to the panel boats. DepeMing on the location of the main penelboard inside the home, or the point at which the service eMrence conductors enter the crawl space, a separate service disconnect may be required. Re- fer to Table 94 far the conductor antl junction box requirements. The installer must provide the supply wnnection including the feeder conductors, junction box, and cen- duitconnectors. Protect conductors emerging from the grountl from a minimum of 18 Indies below grede to eight feet above grade, or to The point of entrance to the home. The distance measured from the top surface of a burietl cable, conduit, or receway to the finished grade must meet the minimum burial requirements outlined In the NEC. Use amoisture-proof bushing at the end ct the conduit from which fhe buried cable emerges. GROUNDING The home must be property grounded to protect the oaupaMs. The only safe and ap- provedmethod of grounding the home is through en electrically -isolated grounding bar in the manufactured home distribution panel board. This grounds all non-wrrent- carrying metal parts to the elecrpl system in the home at a single point. Each neutral conductor must be connected to the system grounding conductor on the the supply side of the mein disconnect in accordance with Articles 250.24, 250.26, and 250.28 of the National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70-2005. Where the meter base has a disconnect (typically when the meter is more than 6 feet from the service electric panel, although this may vary by LAHJ) the ground and neutral should be bontled at that disconnect antl then groundetl to the driven earth ground Four wires will leave the seMce elecbic panel to the disconnect. Three wires will enter fhe disconnect from the meter base (refer to Flgure 75). Where there is no disconnect on the meter base or between the meter base and ser- vice elecUic panel (ypicelly when the meter is within 6 feet from the service electric panel, although this may vary by IAHJ), the main circuit breaker in the service electric panel becomes the frst discennect. In this rese, the neutrl and grountl are bonded In the seMce electric panel and connectetl to the tlriven earth grountl from the service electic panel. Three wires lead between the meter base antl the service eladric panel (refer io Figure TB). //. Power supply. A large enough power supply must be available at the site. An inadequate power supply may result in improper op- eretion of and possible damage to motors and ap- pliances. It may also in- creaseelectricity costs. i 1 /, Grounding the electrical system. Do not provitle electrical power until the grounding electrode is in- stalledend connected. When the meter base is not on the house never use the neutral contluctor of the feeder cable as a ground wire. PFS#r,5 cmy e.n�•o, e•wmuwl roizoiox � Figure 75.
