5.6.4 Installation Orientation:
All Removable Concrete Anchors discussed in this manual, when deployed as single person anchors may
self-orient or bend up to 90 degrees towards the user’s work area and/or PFAS. Do not bend or pull the anchor beyond 90 degrees. See
Figure 7.
5.6.3 Retractor Handle:
The wedge chocks that bite into the concrete to secure the anchor may be positioned either vertically or
horizontally. Best practice during installation of the anchor is to ensure the retractor handle is level with the surface. If the retractor
handle is not level with the surface the cables will kink and the damage to the anchor will occur. See Figure 6.

5.6.1 Cracked Concrete Installation:
The anchors described in this manual are designed for installation in un-cracked concrete conditions.
Use of these anchors in cracked concrete conditions is not allowed. For concerns over the suitability of substrate in a cracked concrete
environment, a qualified engineer shall be consulted.
5.6.2 Re-installing the Anchor in a Previously Used Hole:
The anchors discussed in this manual may be re-inserted in a previously used
anchor insertion hole that passes pre-use inspection. The previously used hole must still retain the same depth, diameter, and functional
properties as described in the original installation requirements. Any anomalies such as cracking of the concrete, widening of the hole,
or wearing of the hole from overuse will require the drilling of a new anchor insertion hole. If there is any doubt about the integrity of the
anchor insertion hole, then a new hole must be drilled.

A
Using the proper hammer drill bit, drill a 3/4” diameter hole at least 3.5” deep into the concrete and at least
the minimum edge distance for the given concrete dimensions described in Figure 4. Hole must be straight and
perpendicular to concrete surface.
B
Remove dust and debris from hole using hand pump, compressed air, or vacuum. Hole must be completely free of
dust and debris before installing anchor.
C
To place the anchor, place you thumb inside the ring and first two fingers around the trigger. Squeeze your thumb and
fingers together until the trigger and spring fully compress. Insert unit at least 3” into the drilled hole and release the
trigger.
D
Set the unit with a slight tug on the ring. The stop sleeve should always be partially inserted into the hole.
