Installation and Use
Components and Specifications
Product Specific Applications
Materials: powder-coated steel.
Fall Prevention: SSMR G-Rail Bases may be used as a component in Fall Prevention
applications ONLY. Fall Prevention Systems are placed around the leading edges of any and all
fall hazards to prevent a worker from going over an edge, and may be used in substitute of
Fall Protection or safety netting systems. Installation requirements for SSMR G-Rail Bases set
forth in this manual MUST be adhered to. Personal Fall Arrest, Work Positioning, Climbing,
Rescue, and any other systems must NEVER be connected to Fall Prevention Systems.
Prior to installation, plan your system:
Always ensure that complete G-Rail System, of which SSMR G-Rail Base is a component, is fully compliant
with all applicable OSHA regulations. Always adhere to all instructions provided with equipment. G-Rail
equipment instructions provided separately.
1. Ensure SSMR G-Rail Base is compatible with applicable standing seam roof (see pgs. 5-7). If standing seam
roof is not listed, do not install SSMR G-Rail Base.
2. Ensure compatible seam attachment points exist between 9.5” to 25” apart.
3. Maximum substrate slope is 4/12. This supersedes the 1/12 maximum slope for the G-Rail, which applies
to freestanding systems only.
Assembly and use:
1. Adjust SSMR clamps to fit applicable roof seam spacing. To adjust, loosen clamp bolt, slide clamp to proper
position, and tighten bolt until snug. Repeat for all necessary clamps.
2. Install Guardrail Knuckles (part # 15186) onto SSMR G-Rail Base in accordance with Guardrail Knuckle
instructions.

Maintenance, Cleaning, and Storage
If SSMR G-Rail Base fails inspection in any way, immediately remove it from service, and contact Guardian to
inquire about its return or repair.
Cleaning after use is important for maintaining the safety and longevity of SSMR G-Rail Base. Remove all
dirt, corrosives, and contaminants from SSMR G-Rail Base before and after each use. If SSMR G-Rail Base
cannot be cleaned with plain water, use mild soap and water, then rinse and wipe dry. NEVER clean SSMR
G-Rail Base with corrosive substances.
When not in use, store equipment where it will not be affected by heat, light, excessive moisture, chemicals,
or other degrading elements.
Prior to EACH use, inspect SSMR G-Rail Base for deficiencies, including, but not limited to, corrosion,
deformation, pits, burrs, rough surfaces, sharp edges, cracking, rust, paint buildup, excessive heating,
alteration, and missing or illegible labels. IMMEDIATELY remove SSMR G-Rail Base from service if defects or
damage are found. Ensure that applicable work area is free of all damage, including, but not limited to, debris,
rot, rust, decay, cracking, and hazardous materials.
At least every 12 months, a Competent Person other than the user must inspect SSMR G-Rail Base.
Competent Person inspections MUST be recorded in inspection log in instruction manual. The
Competent Person must sign their initials in the box corresponding to the month and year the
inspection took place.
During inspection, consider all applications and hazards SSMR G-Rail Base has been subjected to.
Inspection
3. Install SSMR G-Rail Base onto roof. Place all clamps over roof
seams, then insert (2) provided set screws in bottom holes of
each clamp.
- All set screws must face same direction. Ensure all set screws
will compress against roof seam when fully installed.
- Use 3/16” Allen wrench attachment with compatible ¼” drive
screw gun to install set screws.
- If roof is 22 gauge or thicker, torque all set screws to between
13.33-15 foot-pounds. If roof is thinner than 22 gauge, torque
all set screws to between 10.83-12.5 foot-pounds.
4. Install all G-Rails into Guardrail Knuckles.
On each clamp,
(2) set screws
must compress
against roof seam
NEVER over-torque set-screws; doing so could strip hardware or damage roof panels.
