Install Stabilizing Systems Install anchors with stabilizer plates as follows: 1. Measure.To determine the stabilizer plate location, measure from the top of the i-beam to the ground directly under it and then use the same measure- ment directly away from that point under the beam(Figure 57). The anchor and plate must be under the home, but within six inches of the exterior wall for a near beam set and ten inches minimum from the exterior wall for a far beam set. Be careful not to place in a location that will interfere with skirting. Figure 57.Determining anc- hor and stabilizer plate loca- ---.-_. tion STRAP(LOOSE) STRAP (PROPERLY TENSIONED) fir � _.

Install anchor.To assure that the anchor attachment point will end up at the stabilizer plate, start the anchor insertion approximately 12 inches back from from the desired location if using a 48 inch long anchor,or approximately 16 inches if using a 60 inch long anchor. Install the anchor at about 10 degrees off vertical,with the head tilted away from the home. Install the anchor to a depth of approximately one half its length. 3. Drive stabilizer plate. Drive the stabilizer plate into the ground to its full depth at the point determined in Step 1. 4. Complete anchor installation.Screw the anchor the rest of the way into the ground. The finished anchor must be installed to its full depth. When the anc- hor strap is properly tensioned it will pull the anchor head and shaft into the stabilizer plate. VERTICAL ANCHORS To install vertical anchors,screw the anchor into the ground directly under the strap at- tachment point on the home until the bottom of the anchor head is flush with the ground or no more than one inch above grade. STEP 5. INSTALL STRAPS Follow the instructions below to connect straps from the home to sidewall frame,end wall frame and vertical anchors. Always protect straps at sharp corners including around I-beams with radius clips or other methods(Figure 58). Radius clips may be fabricated from galvanized steel strap formed to fit around corners. 91
