1. Position anchor at a slight back angle (10˚) so that when
fully installed, the anchor head will be inside any skirting or
side wall.
2. Install anchor to +/- 2/3 depth, then install stabilizer
vertically, within 3”-4” of anchor shaft, parallel to
wall of home.
3. Fully drive anchor, attach strap (see proper strap
tensioning), and pretension strap to pull anchor
rod against the stabilizer plate.
Anchor Installation
Electric Drive Machine Installation
Manual Anchor Installation
1. Dig holes to a depth of 2/3 of the anchor length. Install
anchor with rod or length of pipe for leverage.
2. Replace earth in hole after anchor/plate is installed at
full depth. Pack dirt with a tamping rod every 6 inches of fill.
3. Testing may be required in loose soil conditions to check that
anchor has proper holding power.
Important:
Anchor must be installed to full depth. Anchor head must
be at ground level or at the top of the stabilizer plate
which is fully installed to ground level.
Electric Drive Machine Cautions and Warnings:
• Before installation of any ground anchor, determine that the ground anchors to be installed will not be near any underground
electrical cables, phone lines, water lines, sewer pipes, or gas lines. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death
• The EDM is designed for operation by two people.
• Do not allow the EDM to be wedged against the home or other solid objects, when operating the EDM.
• Electrical cord must be a minimum of 14-2 wire size w/ground up to 25 ft. of cord. Longer cords must be 12-2 wire size w/ground or lower.
• Never operate the EDM in wet or rainy conditions.
• Frayed or patched electrical cords should never be used with the EDM.
• Care should be taken to keep electrical cords away from anchors.
• Never operate drive machine without the GFI power cord. Damage to motor and injury to operator can r esult from
by passing the GFI.
• The GFI will shut off power when a ground fault is detected. The GFI will also shut off power when
it detects low voltage improper amps required to drive the motor. Many times the problem will be
the use of an extension cord that is too long or is too light in gage.
