Anchor System
Anchor System
Three methods for anchoring this unit are available: anchors, remote tie-offs, and a combination of both.
Choose the correct method based on jobsite conditions.
Crushing weight. If load falls or moves, it
could kill or crush you. Use proper procedures and
equipment or stay away.
To help avoid injury:
• Set stabilizers prior to driving anchors.
• Drive anchors properly and/or tie off unit before drilling.
• Stand on platform when operating anchor controls.
• Wear high-top protective boots with legs of pants completely tucked inside.
• Wear protective gloves.
• Only swing cab after setup is complete.
• If you are not driving two anchors to full depth, drive optional ground rod into soil away from drilling
unit and connect ground rod to drilling unit.
Electric shock. Contacting electric lines will cause death or serious
injury. Know location of lines and stay away.
Turning shaft can kill you or crush arm or leg. Stay away.
To help avoid injury: Do not replace anchor collar bolt with one longer than original. Clothing could
catch on turning shaft.
