MINUTE MAN ANCHORS, INC. <br /> INSTRUCTION FOR USING MINUTE MAN STABILIZING DEVICE <br /> Minute Man stabilizing devices are designed for use with Minute Man anchors and intended to <br /> laterally restrict movement of the anchor through the soil. <br /> Before Pretensioning After Pretensioning <br /> I4� I <br /> Vir iF-- 2"for 4" disk anchor <br /> Strap ; 4"for 6" to larger disk anchor <br /> Stabilizer Platt Stabilizer Plat- <br /> Ground Anchor Ground Anchor —♦ t <br /> z <br /> i : 10° <br /> I <br /> 4.
