INSTALLATION INFORMATION
ABS Stabilizer Plate
Part # 59293
1. Determine correct anchor to be used with the home installation and
use the manufacturer instruction for installation, following all
safety precautions.
2. Using an electric drive machine, install anchor to a depth of
approximately 28 inches at a slight back angle.
3. Dig out an 8” wide area so that the ABS stabilizer will be placed on
undisturbed soil at a 10 to 15 degree angle toward the home. The
bottom center of the plate should be touching the anchor rod.
4. Complete the installation of the ground anchor until the bottom of the
anchor head is flush with the ground.
5. Attach proper strap and tension strap until anchor head is flush against
the ABS plate and strap is tight. At this point, soil should be tamped
into the vacant area behind the anchor rod, tamping approximately 6”
and repeating until the vacant area is flush with the surface of the
surrounding ground.

nesting anchor rod in between formed channels on outside
of stabilizer plate (between anchor and frame).
