d. Roof Framing
Roof framing members to which the roof anchors are attached
must be in good condition. Members must be free of splits, cracks,
large knots, or defects that may
weaken the member. Do not
attach the roof anchor to rotted or
deteriorated wood.
e. Roof Anchor Installation:
Roof anchors must be installed
in accordance with the previously
discussed site plan. Site work
rules must be followed regarding
when an installed roof anchor is
ready for use (i.e. after sheathing
is in place).
f. Attaching the Roof Anchor
A210402: Spread the anchor base legs apart to match the surface
it will be mounted on, either a roof peak or a at surface. Position
the anchor on the roof such that the 12 center screw holes along
the center of the legs are over (framing) member. Then, push down
to minimize any gap between the anchor and the sheathing and
nail. Use only 3” #12 hex head steel screws to install the anchor (6
per leg into the rafters and sheathing). Install all 12 screws. Never
attach the roof anchor with the legs still together (legs must be
spread apart).
Warning:
The A210402 roof anchor must be positioned on top of previously
secured roof sheathing (do not attach directly to rafter or truss
member). All 12 screws must be installed. If the roof anchor is not
installed properly, it will not hold the rated loads and serious injury or
death could occur.
g. Removal of Roof Anchor
Remove the roof anchor prior to shingling the area with the anchor.
To remove it, unscrew each fastener off the anchor from the roof.
