EARTH ANCHOR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS I. Drlve Machine Instaliations: ach the dr(ve machine adapter head to the tensioning device that is in direct allgnment wlth � tne anchor shaft. Position the helix•end of the�nchor on the soll at a slight angle under the ex- terior side of the home. This will prevent the anchor from hlndering future skirting Installa• tions. Activate the drlve machine and exercfse control in mafntaining full penetratlon of the an- chor. II. Manual Installetlons: 1. Using a post hole digger, develop a hole approximately 24" deep in the proper posltion which fs directly under the overhead strap and slightly underneath the home so as to allow adequate room for future sklrting Installations. 2.Insert the anchor; position a plece of pipe through the head fur additlonal leverage, and rotate with downward preasure In a clockwiae direction encourap- ing IYs flnal penetratlon. 3. When the ancho'r has been Installed to It's full depth, repack the earth 8" at a time. Saturating and compacting with each 6" increment will maxim(ze your Im- medlate holding capacfty. III.Strap Teneloning Instrocttons: 1. In8ert the tenslon bolt into ;he anchor head and looaely attach the hex nut. 18 � Place the strap end through the slotted shank of the tenslon bolt and bring flushly to the op• poslte side of the shank. 4. � Once tensioned to the � point that counter- clockwise resistance appe�ars, a 518 open- �� enci wrench should be . used to hold the square � � neck while repositlon- ing the 15116" tension- ing wrench which will enable continued and Ifinal tensioning. Repeat as re uired 3. Bend the strap at 90 depreea and with the use of a 15118" socket or open�end wrench, rotate in a clockwise manner wrappIng the strap around the shank of the tension bolt. i� Once fully tensloned; align the square neck of the bolt with the square 'recess In the snchor head and tlghten the hex nut. This will draw �the two together and tock the s��stem into it'� j final position. q WARNINCi: Carefully inspect each anchorinq Iocation for hazardous underground wiring. Consult local utllity companies or building authorities as is necessary.
