Includesmulti pocketed carrying case.Soil Test Probe InformationThe Soil Test Probe is used to determine the soil conditions belowthe surface near the anchor's helix. Using the Soil Test Probe willensure maximum anchor holding strength by indicating the properanchor model for each soil condition.The Anchor Chart on page 4 and a test probe reading can beused to get a recommend anchor for every soil condition.Instructions1. Place probe tip into ground where you intend to place theanchor. Using a 15/16" hex socket with a ratchet or breaker bar,rotate the probe in a clockwise direction. (An electric drivemachine with an adapter head may also be used)2. Drive (rotate) the torque probe into the soil until reaching a depthequal to the length of the anchor being installed.3. To determine the soil classification:• Place wrench adapter onto torque wrench.• Insert hex portion of wrench adapter onto the earth probe.• Support probe shaft with one hand, while rotating probesteadily with the wrench. (Do not exceed 600 in. lbs.)• Read the torque wrench while rotating probe clockwise.• Use the Anchor Chart on page 4 to cross reference probe readings.4. If probe reading does not match the anchor for that depth, rotateprobe to next anchor depth and check reading. Continue untilreading on probe matches anchor length for depth of reading.5. To remove probe, use wrench or electric drive machine inreverse (counter clockwise).TIE DOWN ENGINEERING, Inc. 10 www.tiedown.com
