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 /> iii ♦--- I <br /> 7 iE— 2"for 4" disk anchor <br /> Strap ; 4"for 6" to larger disk anchor <br /> -7 <br /> Stabilizer Plat Stabilizer Plat <br /> Ground Anchor).

Place the anchors approximately four inches to the inside shaft toward center of house)and the distance indicated from the <br /> of the exterior wall line of the home or a sufficient distance shaft. <br /> to avoid interference with the skirting (see above) <br /> 5.

Pretension the anchor by pulling it up to the stabilizer plate. Pull <br /> (1/3)the anchor length. the anchor approximately 'h inch more while it is in contact with the <br /> plate using the strap and take-up bolt to move the anchor head. <br /> /Vertical Tension <br /> _�%r Horizontal Tension <br /> flllllll'llllllllllllli <br /> i� <br /> INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS <br /> il ' Iii U Drill 5/8" diameter hole 5 1/2" deep, in center of <br /> �' +` `' anchor location, for pilot stud. Insert pilot stud <br /> into hole. <br /> Drill two -3/4" diameter holes in rock at 45 degree <br /> angles, using anchor head as a locating guide. <br /> Place rod through top of(1) square tube and into <br /> Il <br /> hole. Drive rod to desired depth. (Rod must be <br /> driven into rock at least 80% of its length in order <br /> /� j to achieve minimum allowable pullout resistance.) <br /> �/ Place second rod through top of remaining tube. <br /> Installation Drive rod to desired depth to lock. <br /> Maximum pullout resistance is developed when <br /> Instructions anchor head is low as possible and ground <br /> for surface is solid rock.
