It is important that the anchors be driven at the same angle as the guy wires.
Insert the drive bar into the anchor body and drive the anchor into the ground
using a sledgehammer until only the top half of the loop or metal ring remains
above the ground. Place a bar or highlift jack through the loop or metal ring
and jack the anchor up about four inches to rotate the anchor into the load-lock
position.
Failure to install and lock the anchor at the correct angle
will result in the anchor cable cutting through the soil
until the angles equalize, causing slack.
