Maintenance And Storage - Falltech MANC09 Instrucciones De Uso

4.4.2 To Install on the Field: Choose a location on the field, 6ft from any edge, directly over a truss or rafter, and not on a gable, eave, or fascia. Ensure the
chosen site can provide a minimum of 6ft of fall clearance. See Figure 6. Ensure the location will support the anchor load detailed in Section 3 of this manual.
4.4.3 Install with Nails: With the anchor in the correct location on the ridge or on the field, drive in twelve 16d nails. Ensure all 12 nails engage the center
of the truss or rafter. Installation for PFAS with nails creates an OSHA compliant 3,600lb anchor only within 30° of the anchor's longitudinal axis, in line with
the anchor plates. See Figure 5B.
An anchor for restraint application may be installed with nails.
4.4.3.1 Work Below the Anchor: If the anchor is installed on the ridge, the user may cross the ridge and work on both slopes. If moving to the opposite
side of the ridge, ensure the anchor chain is moved completely and the connection O‐ring is on the work side of the ridge. The user must remain within the
prescribed work zone defined by the 30° limit on either side of the anchor's longitudinal axis on both slopes.
If the anchor is installed on the field, the user must remain within the prescribed work zone defined by the 30° longitudinal limit. Do not cross over the ridge.
4.4.4 Install with Lag Bolts: The anchor may be installed on the ridge or the field using lag bolts. Choose a location directly over a truss or rafter and a
minimum of 6ft. from any edge. Place the anchor. Drill a 3/16" pilot hole in all six lag bolt holes. Drive in six 1/4" x 2‐1/2" lag bolts.
When the anchor is installed on the ridge or field as a single point anchor with lag bolts, the anchor is an OSHA compliant 5,000lb anchor and may also be
loaded perpendicular to the anchor plates, as shown in Figure 5.
HLL applications as shown in Figure 3A must be installed with lag bolts.
DO NOT
 Mount an anchor directly onto a truss without sheathing substrate.
 Mount the anchor on unsupported roof areas such as eaves, gables and overhangs.
 Use an anchor mounted downslope on the opposite side of the ridge. Install a separate anchor.
 Use the anchorage until the system has been completely installed, inspected, and approved for use by a competent person.
NOTE: The requirement for approved fall protection during installation of this anchor applies to all anchor models covered in this manual.
See paragraph 4.4 for additional anchorage location information.
DO NOT work above the anchorage.
4.5. Connect PFAS or Restraint System to the Roof Anchor: Connect to the roof anchor using an approved PFAS or restraint system. Do not connect a
rebar hook or a large throat opening carabiner to the chain roof anchor. Consult the PFAS manufacturer's user instructions for details.
Use caution on a normally sloped roof and avoid swing falls. If installed on the field, do not cross the roof ridge.
4.5.1 Connect to The HLL Roof Anchor: Connect an approved HLL system to the anchors. Consult the HLL manufacturer's user instruction manual for
details. See Figure 3 for a list of approved FallTech HLL part numbers.
4.6 After a Fall: Any equipment subjected to fall arrest forces or exhibiting damage consistent with the effect of a fall event must be removed from service immediately.
4.7 At Job Completion: The chain roof anchor is designed as a temporary reusable anchor, to be removed and reinstalled. If nailed, pry loose the anchor.
Exercise caution, do not bend or deform the anchor plate. Do not pull on the chain or O‐ring to detach the anchor. If attached with lag bolts, remove the
lag bolts. The user must make any necessary roof or structural repairs that result from installation, use and de‐installing the anchor.
5. SPECIFICATIONS See Table 1.
6. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
There is no regular maintenance required for this equipment.
6.1 Storage: When not installed, store in a clean, dry area. Avoid direct sunlight and exposure to environmental elements. Do not place other equipment
or objects on top of the anchors. Do not store in a manner that would allow other equipment to bend, crack, contaminate or otherwise damage the unit.
6.2 Remove From Service: Remove the anchor from service if it has been subjected to fall arrest forces or fails inspection.
7. INSPECTION OF CHAIN ANCHOR
Prior to each use, the user must inspect the anchor for any physical damage, wear, corrosion or missing parts. If the anchorage has been subjected to fall
arrest forces it must be removed from service.
Inspect for:
1. Cracks or fractures
2. Broken welds, rings, or studs
3. Corrosion
4. Bent plates or rings
5. A build‐up of contaminants
If routine inspection reveals damage to the anchor, discontinue use and remove it from service.
Record inspection results on the Inspection Record found in Appendix A or on any suitable record.
8. LABELS
The following labels must be present and legible:
