Anchor System
Select Anchor
Two anchor types are available. Choose the correct anchor type based on jobsite conditions.
Crushing weight. If load falls or moves, it could kill or crush
you. Use proper procedures and equipment or stay away.
To help avoid injury:
• Drive anchors properly before drilling.
• Stand on platform when operating anchor controls.
• Wear high-top protective boots with legs of pants completely tucked inside.
• Wear protective gloves.
• If you are not driving two anchors to full depth, drive optional ground rod into soil away from drilling
unit and connect ground rod to drilling unit.
Turning shaft can kill you or crush arm or leg. Stay away.
To help avoid injury: Do not replace anchor collar bolt with one longer than original. Clothing could
catch on turning shaft.
Anchor type Situation used
rock bit hard/soft rock, asphalt, concrete, cobble
auger bit soft soil to hard soil, soft rock
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to operate anchor controls while drill fluid is on. Drill fluid operation may
divert power from anchor system so that anchor controls perform poorly.
