EARTH ANCHOR iNSTALLATION iNSTRUCTiONS I. Drive Machine Installations: Attach the drive machine adapter head lo the tensioning device that is In direct alignment with th~ anchor shaft. Position the helix-end of the anchor on the soil at a slight angle under the ex- terior side of the home. This will prevent the anchor from hindering future skirting Installa- ilo_ ns. Activate the drive machine and exercise control In maintaining full penetration of the an- chor. II. Manual Installations: 1. Using a post hole digger, develop a hole approximately 24" deep in the proper position which is directly under the overhead simp and slightly underneath the home so as to allow adequate room for future skirting installations. 2, Insert the anchor; position a piece of pipe through the head for additional leverage, and rotate with downward pressure In a clockwise direction encourag- Ing it's final penetration. 3. When the anchor has been installed to it's full depth, repack the earth 6" at a time. Saturating and compacting with each 6" increment will maximize your im- mediate holding capacity. Iii. Strap Tensioning Instructions: Insert the tension bolt into the anchor head and loosely attach the hex nut. Bend the strap at g0 degrees and with the use of a 15/'16" Placethe strap end through the socket or open-end wrench, slotted shank of the tension rotate In a clockwise manner holt and bring flushly to the op-wrapping the strap around the poslte side of the shank.

Repeat Once fully tensioned; align the square neck of the bolt with the square recess in the anchor head and tighten the hex nul. This will draw the two together and rock the system into it',, final position, as required, WARNING: Carefully Inspecl each anchoring location for hazardous underground wiring.
