EARTH ANCHOR INSTALLATION INSTRUC'�IONS <br />I. DHve Machine Installations: <br />Attach the drive inachine adapter head to the tensioning device that fs In direct alignment with <br />the anchor shaft. Position the helix•end oi the anchor on the soil at a slight angle under the ex- <br />terior side of the home. This will prevent the anchor irom hindering future skirting installa- <br />tions. Activate•the drive machine and exercise control in maintaining full penetratfon of the an- <br />chor. - <br />II. Manual Installations: <br />1. Using a post hole digger, develop a hole approximately 24" deep in the proper <br />position which is directly under the overhead strap and slightly underneath the <br />home so as to allow adequate room for }u4ure skirting installations. <br />2.Insert the anchor; position a piece of pipe through the head fo� additlonal <br />leverage, and rotate wfth downward pressure fn a clockwtse direction encourap- <br />ing it's fin�.l penetration. ' <br />3. When the anchor has been installed to iYs full depth, repack the earth 6" at a <br />time. Saturating and compacting with each 6" increment will maximize your im- <br />mediate holding capacity. <br />III.Strap Tensioning Instructions: <br />, <br />Insert the tension bolt lnto the <br />anchor head and loosely attach <br />the hex nut. <br />4. <br />2. <br />Place the strap end through the <br />slotted shank of the tension <br />bolt and bring flushly to the op- <br />posite side of the shank. <br />__ tensioned to the <br />� point that counter- <br />clockwise resistance <br />appears, a 518" open- <br />. e�d wrench should be <br />used to hold the square <br />i neck while reposition- <br />ing the 15116" tension- <br />ing wrench which will <br />Ienable continued and <br />I final tensioning. Repeat <br />as required. <br />3. <br />Bend the strap at 90 degrees <br />and with the use of a 15(16" <br />sockel or open•end wrench, <br />rotate in a clockwise manner <br />wrapping the strap around the <br />shank of the tension boll. <br />i <br />Once fully tensioned; <br />align the square neck of <br />the bolt with the square <br />recess in the anchor <br />head and tighten the <br />hex nut. This will draw <br />the two together and <br />lock the system into it's <br />final positlon. <br />WARNING: Carefully inspect each anchori�g location for hazardous underground wtring. Consult <br />local utility companies or building authorittes as is necessary. <br />16 ' <br />
