6.0 INSTALLATION HG-KIT-08
Appendix Diagram 1
6.1 When assembling the RoofGuard Kit HG-KIT-08, workers should
be a safe distance from the roof edge (per local regulations),
have the hatch lid closed, and/or be attached to a suitable fall
protection system until the setup is complete.
6.2 Baseplates should be set in a square (4-feet between holes) in
piles of 2 with the hatch opening in the center of the square. Care
should be taken to see if the hatch lid will contact the rails once
assembled. Any of the 3 main holes in the baseplate can be used
to adjust how tight the baseplates get to the edge of the hatch.
6.3 One edge of the square is where the Self-Closing Gate will be
added (last step), which should be located so workers exiting the
hatch can easily exit the system. On each side of the Self-Closing
Gate side, one A-POST-END should be
inserted into the baseplates. Baseplate set screws should be
torqued to
25ft-lbs.
6.4 The other two areas with baseplates should both have B-POST-
END installed. Baseplate set screws should be torqued to 25ft-lb.
6.5 There are 3 pairs of 4-foot rail for the two sides and the
“back” (opposite the gate) of the Hatch system. There is also one
Z-HATCH-SUPPORT stiffener to join the two top rails of the sides.
This stiffener helps keep the sides parallel and strengthen the gate
connection. The Z-HATCH-SUPPORT stiffener should be slid onto
the top rails of the sides, prior to placing them between A-POST-
END and B-POST-CORNER see figure 6. Do NOT tighten the set-
screws in the fittings at this point.
