f. attaching the roof anchor
1. Spread the anchor base legs apart to match the surface it will be
mounted on, either a roof peak or a flat surface.
2. Position the anchor on the roof such that the 10 nail holes along
the center of the legs are over (framing) member.
3. Then, push down to minimize any gap between the anchor and
the sheathing and nail.
4. Use only 16d nails to install the anchor (5 per leg into the rafters
and sheathing). Install all 10 nails.
Warning:
The A230400 roof anchor must be positioned on top of previously
secured roof sheathing (do not attach directly to rafter or truss
member). All 12 nails 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.
Warning:
Use only 16d nails which have a complete head. Do not use nails from
nail guns.
