SD/ector Combination Shown TIP: After centering 1st block(s) over ector pads, place wood cap on top of first block and use hydraulic jack between pad and I-beam to force pads into the ground. Higher pier sets may require extra block prior to using hydraulic jack. ong U-bolt 1 2 Position 1st block(s) on pad as shown. 2.
