This doubles the mechanical advantage but also doubles the length of cable required for a given working
distance. A 2 Part Single Reeved System is rated for a higher working load limit, but be aware that raising/
lowering speed is only half that of a 1 Part Single Reeved System.
Note: The Jackpod Davit must only be used in a 2 Part Single Reeved configuration in the fully retracted
davit offset position (See Figure 4a). Attempting to raise 620 lbs in the extended position will result in
activation of the Overload Indicator and retraction of the Boom Extension Tube.
2.2 Site characteristics, physical and environmental factors
Individual work sites have associated with them any of a number of hazards related to the site itself and
the activities being carried out at that site. These may include, but are not limited to poisonous or explo-
sive atmospheric conditions, poisonous or corrosive chemical hazards, hot surfaces, electrical hazards,
sharp edges, engulfment hazards, or moving machinery.
All of these factors must be taken into consideration when selecting equipment for a given application.
3. GENERAL SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The Jackpod Davit Arm is designed for use with a variety of accessories to perform many functions. There
are basic requirements common to all such systems that include, but are not limited to, the following.

3.1 Anchorage strength

The Jackpod Davit Arm is designed to be set up or installed, and used on a supporting surface (ancho-
rage) capable of providing sufficient anchorage strength to support all applied loads with an acceptable
margin of safety. The standards governing different situations specify various minimum requirements
depending on the application, the work being performed, and other factors.
However, at no time shall the anchorage provide any less than the greater of:
-a 2:1 safety factor on the maximum arrest force (MAF) rating of any fall arrest system being
used,
-a 4:1 safety factor on personnel working loads applied to the system,
-a 4:1 safety factor on material handling loads applied to the system.
All installations MUST BE used under the supervision of a Qualified Person.
