Assembly and Installation
Step 1
Install a roof anchor at each approved an-
chorage point for the system installation.
Read warnings and limitations with
regard to roof anchor installation, and
follow installation instructions below.
RA30-2 Roof Anchor Warnings and Limitations
must be installed at least 6 ft. (1.8m) from any roof edge when used with the Techline HLL
System. Do not install on unsupported roof structures such as eaves or gable overhangs.
Do not install on facia boards.
Roof anchor location is critical to minimize potential fall clearance and possible swing
falls. Always avoid a possible gable end swing fall. Locate anchors so that any potential
swing fall hazards have been eliminated. Never install the Techline HLL System vertically
on a sloped roof.

deteriorated wood, rot, decay, defects, or any other questionable conditions. Ensure that
the condition of the support structure will support the anticipated loads created by a fall
erly and securely installed with the required number of fasteners.
RA30-2 roof anchors are reusable anchorage connectors designed to be repositioned as
work progresses, provided that the roof anchor has not seen fall arrest forces and has
not been damaged in any way. It is recommended that eight (8) new 5/16" x 2-½" (7.9mm
x 63.5mm) or longer lag screws be used each time the anchor is installed. Roof anchor

RA30-2 Roof Anchor Installation
1. Locate and mark solid roof members/support structures (i.e., studs, joists, rafters, trusses,
etc.) under roof sheathing at the location where the roof anchor will be installed.
2. Follow the illustration above for proper set-up. Install the RA30-2 roof anchor with eight (8)
5/16" x 2-½" (7.9mm x 63.5mm) or longer lag screws (four on each side). NOTE: Predrill
13/64" (5.2mm) or smaller pilot holes for easier installation of lag screws.
WARNING: Use all eight (8) 5/16" x 2-½" (7.9mm x 63.5mm) lag screws to attach the
RA30-2 roof anchor. All screws must pass through the sheathing and into a support
structure. If this warning is not followed, the anchorage connection will be weak-
ened and serious injury or death could occur in the event of a fall.
WARNING: Attach the TechLine Horizontal Lifeline to the roof anchor O-ring only
using the locking snap hooks on each end of the lifeline system.
