Anchoring. Every manufactured house shall be anchored to the stand where it is located prior to the unit being occupied, and no more than seven days from the arrival of the manufactured house. The anchoring system shall be designed by a registered professional engineer to prevent tilting of the unit and resist a minimum wind velocity of 90 miles per house.
D. 
Hitch. The hitch or tow bar of a manufactured house for transport purposes shall be removed and remain removed when the unit is placed on its stand.
