Step 1:

To install the CarTurn we first select a flat site (inclined plane is ok), and measure to ensure that there is sufficient room for the car to turn completely.

Next, we mark out on the pavement a square 12" x 12" in the exact center.

Step 2:

Using an abrasive blade on a circular saw we cut through the pavement. (To reduce the dust we wetted the surface)

It is important to wear safety glasses while making these cuts.

Step 3:

Next we dig down 13", enough to accommodate the square housing for the hydraulically powered high-torque rotator.

The hole is dug slightly larger than the heavy steel housing. This housing will serve as a central pivot point and anchor. Concrete is used to fill around the gaps.

Step 4:

We mount the hydraulic rotor in the square steel lined pit and connected by hose to the pump. The base plate then bolts over this assembly.

Step 5:

Locate the hydraulic power unit remotely and plug it into a switch 110V GFI outlet.

Step 6:

The 16 sided center disk is then bolted to the hydraulic rotator.

Step 7:

Next, we install the braces on all four sides, which will serve as spokes and attach to the four curved sections of heavy steel track.

Step 8:

This track joins on a splice plate using the fasteners provided.

Step 9:

With the track complete we are ready to install each of the 16 steel petals. These attach with bolts to the center disk and to one other.

Step 10:

With the last petal slipping under the adjoining plate, the CarTurn installation is complete. We are now ready for a car.
