USING THE ANCHOR POINTS:
Each anchor is designed for:
• Installation into a sheathed wood roof structure capable of withstanding 5,000 lbs.
• Each anchor must be installed over and into a truss or equivalent structural member with ALL
fasteners penetrating the truss.
• Each anchor is designed for use as a component of a personal fall protection system,
for use with ONE person.
• DO NOT use the anchors for HORIZONTAL LIFELINE attachment points.
• Work as directly underneath the anchors as possible to avoid a pendulum fall.
• Inspect tie off anchor placement structure for integrity and 5,000 lbs.
load capability in the direction of a fall before installation.
• Make only stable and compatible interfaces and connections.
• Avoid physical and chemical hazards that will deteriorate the equipment.
• MAXIMUM user weight capacity (including tools) is 310 lbs. for safe use of PFAS.
Temper Anchor: (Designed for installation and removal for temporary, reusable application):
• Attach the Temper Anchor to qualified sheathed truss structures using the provided #12 - 14 2 in. screws or 16d galvanized or duplex
(double headed nails) Anchor can be removed and reused for multiple installations. Do not reuse fasteners.
USING THE HARNESS:
The harness provided in this kit is to be used as a component of a personal fall protection system. Inspect the harness before each use.
Harnesses must be used with compatible equipment. Make only compatible connections to harnesses. For fall arrest, attach only to the
D-ring located between the shoulder blades. Avoid exposure to physical and chemical hazards that might degrade the harness or impair
its structural integrity. Maximum allowable free fall is 6 ft. Maximum allowable worker weight, including tools, is 310lbs.
Donning the Harness:
• Locate the back D-ring and lift up the harness. Make sure the straps are not twisted and that all buckles are undone.
• Slip the harness over your shoulders like a vest. The dorsal D-ring (with the plastic placard) should be between your shoulder blades.
• Buckle and adjust the chest strap. Chest strap should be located approx. 6 in. from the top of the shoulders at the lower chest level.
• Buckle the legs straps into their front connector on the same side. Adjust to a tight, but comfortable fit around the thigh.
• Adjust the shoulder straps to a comfortable fit. The sub-pelvic strap should be located comfortably below the buttocks to properly
distribute the force of a fall.
• Fasten the waist belt so that it fits comfortably around the waist. All buckles must be properly engaged and all straps must be properly
adjusted before work takes place. Disengaged buckles, or improperly adjusted harnesses can cause severe damage in arresting a fall.
Harness must not be worn excessively loose or the user risks significant injury even if the fall is arrested.
