Anchor System
Select Anchor
Two anchor types are available. Choose the correct anchor type based on jobsite conditions.
Drive Anchors
1. Install centering cap.
Centering cap is installed properly when:
Bolt/washer/nut assemblies (4) are
secure but not over-tightened.
Centering cap (1) is free to slide back
and forth inside centering tube (2)
under normal loading.
2. Use high speed rotation and low thrust to
drive anchor into the ground.
3. Anchor is set when auger shaft flange (3) rests firmly on centering cap (1).
4. Repeat process for other anchor.
Remove Anchors
1. Use anchor rotation and thrust controls to slowly remove anchor shaft from ground.
2. Repeat process for other anchor.
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.
NOTICE: Centering cap must be
properly installed to prevent damage
to anchor.
IMPORTANT: Carefully time anchor
rotation with anchor movement.
Properly driven anchors should not
auger up soil.
