6.2.4 Ladder and Lift Line
Using a ladder and lift line is common but requires more than two people. Carabiners and lines should
be clipped to lifting loops of upper brackets (Fig. 6.2.5). It is preferable to have two individuals lifting
from ground and two on roof to pull collector up and over top of ladder and up and over eave (Fig.
6.2.6).
Collector is not designed to be levered over ladder or eave. Edges of glass and copper connections
should be protected from contact with ladders, walls and eaves. Any damage to collector, including
broken glass, due to improper handling is not covered by warranty.
It is recommended to have two ladders in place, side by side, to prevent collector from sliding sideways
or pivoting around ladder if it is off center. Strapping or securing collector to plywood or boards may
facilitate lift and prevent damage.
All individuals working on roofs should have completed a fall-safety course and use
appropriate safety techniques and equipment. EnerWorks assumes no liability for injury or death
during installation or for any damage caused during installation.
