Installation Instructions

The two telescopic legs should form an angle of about 60 degrees to give
support to the chimney in all directions. Keep bottom ends equal
distance from the chimney and if possible, at the same elevation, on the
high side of the sloped roof. Seal the roof with a suitable non-hardening
waterproof caulking. After the legs are attached to the chimney and
bands, tighten the clamps on the legs to fix the position of the telescop-
ing legs. (See Figure 20).
Do periodic inspection of all fasteners including the clamps as high
winds can cause the chimney system above the roof to vibrate and in
time loosen some of the fasteners. Check all waterproof caulking and
re-apply if need be.

If the chimney extends 5 feet or more above the roof line (measured
from the upper slope), a Roof Guy Kit is required.
The Roof Guy Kit containing telescopic legs and draw band is suitable
for this application. The draw band must be clamped around the chimney
and the two legs lagged to the roof into the rafters and not just the roof
sheathing. Position the band approximately two thirds of the way up the
chimney height.
The preferred location for the band is next to a chimney joint, immediately
above or below a Locking Band.

Continue adding Chimney Lengths until the proper height is achieved
as per Figure 1 requirements (also see Chart 2 on page 15). Install Locking
Bands at all chimney joints above the roof line for added security. Install
the Rain Cap and lock it in place by turning clockwise until snug.
