2. Installation
1. Drive DUCKBILL to desire depth
DUCKBILL anchor are driven into the soil using a hammer and drive steel (a small jack hammer can be used together with power drive steel). As the anchor is being driven, it is actually compacting the soil around the anchor head. Once the anchor is at the proper depth, the drive steel is removed.
 
2. Set the DUCKBILL in soil
To set the anchor in normal soil, wrap the wire rope around the drive steel or insert rod through loop in wire rope and pull upward a distance approx. The lenght of the anchor body. Or, use the DUCKBILL Anchor Hook accessory. The upward pull on the wire rope rotates the anchor into a perpendicular load lock position in undusturbed soil.

4. Drive Steel
 
How to select power drive steel
Each DUCKBILL Anchor has unique drive steel that is determined by the jack hammer and the anchor. Here is how to select the drive steel that is right for the particular anchor:
1. Determine the DUCKBILL Anchor you are going to install.
2. Then measure the hex size (D) across the flats of a shank that fits the hammer.
3. Measure the shank lenght (L) from the top of the hex to the collar.
4. Call FORSIGHT PRODUCTS, LLC. with special shank sizes or if you need more information on how to determine what drive
    steel is needed for the particular application.
 
Power drive steel for model 68/88 anchors is 4'(1.2m) drive tip to under collar.
 
Power drive steel for model 138 anchors is 5'(1.6m) drive tip to under collar.
