Step 1
------------------------------------------
While the trusses are still stacked on ground,
preset two 16d sinker nails, 141/4" apart
on each truss in the stack. The nails should
be driven in 2 1/2" and will serve as hooks
to hold the Ridge Runner in place.
|
Step 2
 
------------------------------------------
Line-up the nails with the keyholes on the Ridge Runner and hook the Ridge Runner onto the first truss.
|
|
Step 3
------------------------------------------
Hoist the first truss up to the wall top
plate and secure the first truss (A) to
the bearing wall. Laterally restrain and
ground brace the truss per BCSI-B2. Detach
the crane hoisting device.
|
Step 4
------------------------------------------
From a ladder, step onto the Ridge Runner
putting your right foot on the right foot
peg and your left foot on the left foot
peg and then kneeling onto the foam-padded
Ridge Runner.
|
|
Step 5
------------------------------------------
Anchor the second Ridge Runner to the next
truss to be set and hoist the truss into
place. Secure second truss (B) to bearing
wall and laterally restrain and brace truss
per BCSI-B2. Detach crane hoisting device.
|
Step 6
------------------------------------------
Now that the second truss (B) and Ridge
Runner are in place, carefully move from
the occupied Ridge Runner on truss A to
the unoccupied Ridge Runner on truss B.
|
|
Step 7
------------------------------------------
Hoist next truss (C) to top plate and secure
truss to bearing wall and laterally restrain
and brace truss per BCSI-B2. Detach crane
hoisting device. Unhook and move Ridge Runner
from truss A up and over truss B, where
you are currently kneeling, and anchor Ridge
Runner onto truss C. Carefully move from
the occupied Ridge Runner on truss B to
the unoccupied Ridge Runner on truss C.
|
Step 8
 
------------------------------------------
With both Ridge Runners in place, continue
to set all remaining trusses by moving unoccupied
Ridge Runner from truss A and anchoring
to truss C each time a new truss is lifted
and secured to the bearing wall as previously
described.
