Hippo Roof Anchor

Step 4

Add a layer of counterweights ensuring the 
U-bolts protrude through the same holes as the 
previously added counterweights. 

Install counterweights one layer at a time.

Depending on your configuration, either a total 
of 12 or 16 counterweight bases make up the 
Hippo Anchor system.  

Step 5

Position the security bracket over the U-bolt.
Insert the security bracket “tab” into the Hippo base. 
If you are installing 12 counterweights the tab will go 
in the lower slot, if 16 counterweights use the top slot. 
Slide the security bracket down over the u-bolt.

Step 6

Install a nut on each of the U-bolts. Hand
tighten all nuts securely. Using tools may
result in over-tightening, possibly damaging
the system.

Repeat for the remaining counterweights.
