Installation And Use - Fixed-Position Beam Anchors - Falltech 7411 Manual De Instrucciones

3.7: Installation and Use – Fixed-Position Beam Anchors
1. Select the appropriate
based on the work conditions and specific hazards (See Section
3.2 for recommendations).
2. Read, understand and comply with manufacturer's instructions
for each component of your Personal Fall Arrest System (Full-
Body Harness, Connecting Devices, Anchorage Connectors,
etc.). Be sure to choose components that are compatible with
this Beam
component compatibility, be sure to contact FallTech for
additional instructions.
3. Calculate possible swing fall hazards, total fall distance, and
required clearance distance. If you have a swing-fall hazard or
do not have the required clearance distance, STOP and
reevaluate your application and system. Your work location
should never exceed an angle of 15 degrees in any direction in
relation to your anchorage location.
4. Inspect this
Fall Arrest System in accordance with Section 8 of this manual.
Be sure to consult, and adhere to the instructional
materials, labels and warnings accompanying the other
components of your PFAS as well.
5. Loosen both the outer and inner retainer nuts adjacent to the
variable position jaw or jaws, creating an opening large enough
to allow the beam flange to fit between the jaws.
6. Position the Fixed-Position Beam Anchor over the beam so that
both jaws extend over the flange.
7. Slide the variable position jaw or jaws toward the D-ring at the
center of the Beam Anchor until both jaws are in direct contact
with the beam flange. Fasten the variable position jaw or jaws in
place by first tightening the inner retainer nut (located directly
next to the jaw). Next, tighten the outer retainer nut, which will
secure the inner retainer nut. For models 7487 and 7488, use
an adjustable wrench and tighten both nuts hand-tight, plus ¼
turn (see figure 3.3). For models 7533 and 7534, ensure the D-
ring is centered on the beam flange, and then use a gloved hand
and tighten each nut hand-tight (Be sure to adjust and tighten
retainer nuts on both sides of the anchor – see figure 3.4).
8. Check to make sure that both jaws are in direct contact with the
beam flange. There should be no gap between the beam
flange and the jaws of your Fixed-position Beam Anchor,
which should fit tightly on the beam flange and be
immovable.
