4. Istruzioni per l'installazione

The A6317 Standing Seam Roof Anchor is designed for easy, non-penetrating installation on standing seam metal roofs. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Select Anchor Location: Choose a location on the standing seam roof that provides adequate structural support and allows for safe work positioning. Ensure the roof seams are clean and free from obstructions.
2. Position the Anchor: Place the anchor over the standing seam. The anchor's channel should fit snugly over the seam.
3. Stringere le viti di bloccaggio: The anchor includes 8 set grub screws. Using an appropriate wrench, tighten these screws evenly and securely against the standing seam. Ensure the anchor is firmly clamped and does not move. Do not overtighten to avoid damaging the roof material.
4. Verifica sicurezza: After tightening, visually inspect and gently attempt to move the anchor to confirm it is securely attached to the roof seam.

5. Funzionamento

Once the A6317 anchor is securely installed, it serves as a reliable attachment point for your personal fall arrest system.

1. Connect Fall Protection: Attach your self-retracting lifeline (SRL) or lanyard, which is connected to your full-body harness, to the 360-degree swivel D-ring on the anchor. Ensure the connection is secure and compatible.
2. Utilize Swivel Feature: The 360-degree swivel point allows for greater freedom of movement across the roof surface without needing to reposition the anchor. This reduces the risk of entanglement and improves efficiency.
3. Maintain Proper Tension: Always ensure your fall protection system maintains appropriate tension and slack according to the manufacturer's instructions for your specific SRL or lanyard.
