Step 4 - Assembling the EasyAG probe
1. Attach the cutting tip to the base of the probe with firm pressure. No glue is required.
2. Remove the lid of the top cap and extract the electronics. Place this safely to one side on a clean,
dry surface such as a tarpaulin.
3. Feed the cable through the FairRite bead and the cable gland into the top cap. It is simpler to push
the cable through the cable gland at this point than when the access tube is installed in the ground.
Step 5 - Inserting the access tube
1. If the soil is dry, add a small quantity of water into the hole using a squirt bottle.
2. Insert the assembled complete probe into the stabilization plate and push it into the ground in a
single gentle movement as far as it will go. Do not cause undue inflection of the access tube, as this
will destroy the integrity of the installation.
