mm is required to penetrate at least 35 mm into the purlin.

ŸLocate the appropriated fixing point on the roof.

ŸThe anchor is to be placed perpendicularly to the trapezoidal

roof onto the roofing structure. The slots of the anchor (used

to fix the screws) must be aligned with the purlin.

ŸTo achieve 12 kN strength, the anchor must be fixed with

minimum of 3 suitable heavy duty roof screws.

ŸFit karabiner to loading eye with locking device facing
