Verify a secure connection to the trusses. If lagging directly into the roof trusses is not possible, secure a 2’ x 4’ wood beam
perpendicular to the trusses, inside the attic, and anchor the bolts to this member. Again, verify a secure connection into the
new member.
Connect the latch to the gripper (Fig 3) utilizing the provided nut and bolt. Slide the latch into the top of the U channel so that
the gripper remains on top of the opening. Place them at the middle of the U-channel’s top and tighten. (Fig 4)
Loosen the gripper providing space to insert the slot at the collector’s edge between the Gripper’s hook and the U-channel’s top.
Once both grippers are grabbing the collector’s edge slot, tighten both grippers. (Fig 5)
