2. Lift the folded end of the block bearing arm slightly
to bring it into abutment against the inside of the
folded end of the arm (Fig. 5, rep. 9).
3. First external block placed.
4. Do the same for the other 3 blocks.
→ Four external blocks in place (Fig. 5, rep. 10).
7.3.1.5. Setting up the remaining 16 concrete blocks :
1. Place 4 additional blocks in the remaining space.
→ First arm equipped with its 6 blocks (Fig. 5, rep. 11).
2. Do the same for the other 3 arms.
→ mobifor™ anchor point installed and ready for use
(Fig. 5, rep. 12).
Step 4:
Reposition the mineral layer (ballast) around the anchor
point.
→ The mobifor™ anchor is installed on the bitumen
waterproof liner.
Step 5:
This step must be carried out only during the first
commissioning:
1. Affix the information label (fig 1, rep. 8) on the
central post of the central structure (fig 1, rep. 3)
opposite the marking label of the anchor point (Fig.
1, rep. 7).
2. Punch or check with indelible marker the month
and year of the first periodic examination on the
indication label of the date of the next periodic
examination (fig 1, rep. 9) and place it in the location
marked "aa" on the information label (Fig. 1, rep. 8)
3. Indelibly mark the date of first commissioning in the
box marked "ae" of the sign and then indelibly sign
with marker in the box provided for this purpose.

7.3.2. For the bare bitumen waterproof coating
Proceed according to steps 2, 3 and 5 of 7.3.
7.3.3. For EPDM type waterproofing
Proceed according to steps 2, 3 and 5 of 7.3.

DANGER: The fall arrest operation of the
mobifor™ anchor point is only guaranteed if the 24
blocks are in place and correctly positioned. If one or
more blocks are shifted laterally or vertically, it is
imperative to redo the installation.
DANGER: It is forbidden to place an interface
between the laying surface of the blocks and the
waterproof coating. The laying surface of the blocks has
been specially designed to ensure optimum adhesion to
the sealing surfaces specified in section 6.
DANGER: After installation, check that the
circumscribed surface (Fig. 2, So) of the mobifor™
anchor point is well away from the edge of the terrace
by at least 2.5 m.
8. Use
Anyone who is to use the mobifor™ anchor should
be physically fit for work at heights and have received
pre-service training in accordance with this manual,
demonstrating under safe conditions, in combination
with the associated PPE. The method of connection
and disconnection at the point of attachment of the
dead weight body shall be carefully explained, and
the supervisor's understanding of this method must
be verified. The description of the PPE connector
carabiner is given in Fig. 6 showing the carabiner in
position 1 open for its introduction, and in position 2
closed on the anchor point.
It is essential for the safety of the operator that the
locking nut is screwed in fully as soon as the connection
is made. It is essential to use a wire connector that is
compatible with the anchor point snap ring.
The mobifor™ anchor point must be used exclusively
for protection against falls from a height of 1 person,
and must never be used as a means of suspension. It
must be used only in association with CE certified PPE
and comply with relevant regulations and standards.
The mobifor™ anchor point should never be used
beyond its limits as indicated in this manual.
Before any use, the supervisor must ensure:
• That the 4 block bearer arms (Fig. 1, rep. 2) are
equipped with 6 concrete blocks (Fig. 1, rep. 1) of
25 kg each, making a total of 24 blocks.
• No gap is visible between the blocks both
horizontally and vertically.
• None of the concrete blocks have a broken corner
larger than 5 cm (Figure 4).
• The length of the shock absorber is less than 200
mm (Figure 4).
• That the circumscribed area of the mobifor™
anchorage point is well away from the edge of the
terrace by at least 2.5 m (Figure 4).
• The slope of the roof is less than 5° (Fig. 4).
• That atmospheric conditions do not present a risk
of frost.
• That there will be no freezing.
