Vibratory plowing cable/FOCIC - preparing pedestal locations
Stop the plow at each pedestal location. Draw at least 15 feet (4.6 m) of cable/FOCIC through the plow blade.
Twist the loop so that the cable/FOCIC crosses itself at ground level. The top of the loop will be head-high on an
average-sized person. Plowing may now continue to the next pedestal location.
If your run exceeds the length of a reel of FOCIC, start the next reel at the pedestal location. Leave at least 7.5 feet
(2.3 m) of FOCIC above ground. Cap each open end.
