USE
Preliminary verification
Before lifting the HERCULES Mobile Anchoring System onto the roof, the user must insure the structure is able to
sustain a static load of 1000 pounds (454 kg) + the weight of the users and their tools. Moreover, it is necessary to
make sure the HERCULES Mobile Anchoring System is set up at least 9 feet (2.75 meters) from the edge of the roof.
Calculations
All calculations must be made before the HERCULES Mobile Anchoring System is set on the roof. These
calculations will help determine if the HERCULES Mobile Anchoring System can be used in a fall arrest mode
or if it will have to be used in travel restraint mode do to a lack of minimum height. The work area, the distance
from the roof edge and any angle at which the users will work also need to be predetermined.
