4.2 Fitting the roof hooks
In order to comply with warranty conditions (rain-proofing etc.) we recommend having the roof hooks fitted
by a roofing firm. Please also take into account the manufacturer's regulations and specifications for the
corresponding roofing, in particular with regard to the use of manufacturer accessories for roofing as well
as the overview in section 11 containing data on the rafter dimensions required as per EN 1995-1-1.
Fitting steps:
Remove the roof tile above the rafter.
Place the roof hook in the depression in the pantile and align it centrally.
Screw the roof hook to the rafter using two flat head screws. There is no need
to drill holes beforehand.
Align other roof hooks using a piece of string.
Reinsert roofing tile.
Important!
Do not use fitted roof hooks as a step ladder, as the pantile below could be damaged by the extreme
concentrated load!
