Installing EasyAG 80 probes

Step 1 - Assembling the stabilization plate

The stabilization plate can be used on both flat ground and raised soil beds. There are two different types of
stabilization plate pins for this reason: a short pin for flat ground and a long one for raised soil beds. The
methodology of assembling the stabilization plate is identical to that used for the EasyAG 50 probe.

Step 2 - (option A) Fixing the stabilization plate on flat ground

1. Place

the

stabilization plate on the ground where the probe is to be situated.

2. Insert

the

short stabilization plate pins through the holes in the stabilization plate.

3. Drive

the

stabilization plate pins all the way into the ground using a sledgehammer. The stabilization

plate should be in firm contact with the soil without compressing it significantly.

4. Put the soil sampler polyguide in place. The stabilization plate is now ready for insertion of the AMS

soil sampler.
