The Center Duckbill Anchor Kit is used to provide additional stability to the
tripod. By providing an anchor directly under the center of the tripod, it can be
firmly secured to the ground.

6.3.1 Installation
1.
Locate the position on the ground directly below the tripod mast. It is
recommended to perform this procedure prior to driving the ground stakes
through the tripod feet. This allows the tripod to be moved to one side to
provide clearance when driving the duckbill anchor into the ground.
2.
Insert a steel drive rod into the duckbill and drive the anchor straight down
into the ground using a fence post pounder or sledgehammer until only the
top half of the cable loop remains above ground.
