7. Drive the earth anchor
into the ground using the
earth anchor driving rod and
a 10 kg hammer.
• Notice the angle at which
the earth anchor is being
driven. This angle is
important for maximum
pull strength. The angle
should be in line with
the angle of the guy wire
(i.e. the angle should be
pointing towards the tower
base).
IMPORTANT: Earth
anchors must be
installed in soil that has
been undisturbed.
9. Then, insert the earth anchor driving rod through the cable eye and pull
up with force. You will notice the earth anchor pulling out of the ground
slightly. This will lock the earth anchor in the ground.
Note: No more than 12 in (30 cm) of earth anchor cable should be out of
the ground once it has been locked into place.
10. Finish installing the remaining three earth anchors as described above.
IMPORTANT: Although the earth anchor is designed to break
through rocks, if there is a rock or obstruction that is too large,
remove and relocate the anchor. The depth of the anchor is
critical to its effectiveness.
