1. With butt-end of 4 lb. sledge hammer, pound out anchor expander wedge from assembly
2. Lay anchor on it’s side on a hard surface and strike a hammer blow on each of the four sections of the slotted end of the anchor sleeve to reduce diameter of the sleeve just enough so that the floor plate slides over the sleeve easily
3. Install floor plate over slotted end of sleeve until it is about 1/3 on the anchor or about ½ to ¾ in. of slot remains above floor plate
4. Replace anchor expander wedge back onto sleeve and strike several hammer blows until wedge is secured onto anchor. About ¼ in. of wedge base will protrude from bottom of sleeve.
5. Install chain and retainer wedge with one link below expander base.
6. Using ordinary newspaper and masking tape, wad on full size sheet outside base of anchor and one inside anchor. Tape another wad fully onto the base so concrete will not entrap chain underneath anchor after it has cured. This measure will ensure that the chain will be removable.
7. Fully tape all slots so concrete will not seep into anchor during pouring operation. The wad of newspaper inside anchor is added insurance against seepage of mix into anchor interior. Turn lid upside down so logo is facing inward and tape lid securely onto anchor. Anchor is now ready to be set into place.
8. Lay out desired stall pattern. Using string to find concrete level, locate each anchor and begin pouring operation. If time allows, it is best to “set” each anchor with a batch of concrete first. When the set anchors have hardened into place, complete the slab finishing the surface level with all anchors. Allow 4 weeks to cure before making a pull. Newspaper wad under anchor will rot away leaving access for chain removal.
