🔧 Application Instructions for All Pegs:

Important for our system:

Hooks:

1. Always use the hooks! Only then can you take full advantage of the system. 
2. Make sure the hooks always face upward.
3. Position the hook as close to the ground as possible and snap it into place — this reduces the leverage from a pulling rope on the peg to zero!

Lock Nuts:

Thanks to the lock nut, Peg&Stop ground screws don’t always need to be fully screwed in all the way.

• Always use the lock nut! Only then can you take full advantage of the system.
  
  

• Flexible height adjustment of the screw
  

• One or two turns of the counter nut are enough to securely fix tarps and anchor plates with counter pressure on the ground – without over-tightening

• Compatible with the Fix&Go anchor plate 2.0 to ensure a stable anchoring

• Lock nut 2.0: Integrated (reusable) hook for tensioning guy lines and other straps
