Positioning on the roof
The HERCULES Mobile Anchoring System must be placed parallel to the edge of the roof at a minimum distance of 9
feet (2, 75 meters
)
so that when used in Fall Arrest Mode the teeth on the yellow pivot arms are on the same side as the
users. Once the HERCULES Mobile Anchoring System is in place, the wheels must be lifted with the use of the built-in
jacks at each end of the machine. Once the wheels are off the ground and the HERCULES Mobile Anchoring System
rests on the roof, the system is ready to use. The HERCULES Mobile Anchoring System must be placed vis-à-vis the
workplace and it must follow the users as they go along in such a way to avoid the pendulum effect in case of a fall.
For use in travel restraint mode, the user must anchor his safety lanyard to one of the blue rings located on the
vertical post. ( See figure 5)
