Page 8: Installation
5.0 Installation 5.1 When working near the roof edge, workers should be tied-off to an alternate fall protection system. Ideally workers should use a fall-restraint system utilizing a lifeline that will allow them to reach the edge, but not be long enough to be able to fall. 5.2 If toe-boards will be required, place the toe-board adapter on the top of the baseplate before placing the vertical posts into the desired holes. - Page 9 5.5 Use a 3/16” hex drive bit (provided) or wrench, and torque baseplate screws to 25ft- lbs. All set screws for stacked plates must be secured against the wall of the vertical posts. 5.6 Once torqued the set screw can be ‘marked’ with the blue crayon (provided) to provide a visual indicator that the screw has been secured and warn of tampering.
