POSITIONING THE SYSTEM: Figure 9 illustrates positioning and preparation of the Jib Boom for work. Position and

prepare the system as follows:

Position the Jib Boom: Place the Adjustable Jib Boom near the work area on a surface with 1° or less of slope.

SLOPE INDICATORS:

Optional Leveling Jacks may be installed in the Leveling Jack Mounts on the Counterweight Base for purposes of leveling the

Jib Boom on a surface that is not level. Extend the Leveling Jacks until they contact the ground. Crank the Leveling Jacks up or

down as needed until all Slope Indicators indicate less than 1° of slope.

Raise the Jib Boom: Turn the Vertical Adjustment Hand Crank clockwise until the Jib Rail Assembly reaches the

desired height.

CAUTION:

Personnel shall not be attached to the Glide Rail while the system is raised into position.

Rotate the Jib Boom: Remove the Rotation Lock Pin and rotate the Jib Boom to the desired work position with the

Rotation Handle. The Jib Boom can be locked at 11° rotation increments with the Rotation Lock Pin Mechanism or

allowed to rotate through a range deﬁ ned by two Rotation Limiters:

No Rotation: Rotate the Jib Boom to the desired position and then insert the Rotation Lock Pin through the

inside Pin Hole and aligned hole in the Rotation Plate to prevent the Jib Boom from rotating.

Rotation Range: Insert the Rotation Lock Pin through the outside Pin Hole and then install Rotation Limiters on

each side of the Lock Pin. Insert the Rotation Limiter mounting pegs through the desired holes in the Rotation

Plate to deﬁ ne the rotation range.

CAUTION:

The Jib Boom may be used without the Rotation Lock Pin inserted, allowing 360° rotation; but can cause increased

swing fall in multiple directions in the event of a fall.

USE

WARNING:

Consult your doctor if there is any reason to doubt your ﬁ tness to safely absorb the shock from a fall arrest or suspension.

Age and ﬁ tness seriously affect a worker's ability to withstand falls. Pregnant women or minors must not use DBI-SALA equipment

unless in an emergency situation.

WARNING:

Never exceed the Capacity maximums speciﬁ ed in Table 1. Exceeding the stated capacity could collapse or tip the system,

resulting in serious injury or death.

4.1

BEFORE EACH USE: Verify that your work area and Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) meet all criteria deﬁ ned in

Section 2 and a formal Rescue Plan is in place. Inspect the Jib Boom per the 'User' inspection points deﬁ ned on the

"Inspection and Maintenance Log" (Table 2). If inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition, do not use the

Jib Boom. Remove the system from service and contact Capital Safety regarding replacement or repair.

SAFE WORK AREA:

safe working distances where the angle of the Lifeline is less than or equal to 30° from vertical and the Horizontal Distance (H) from the

anchorage connection point is less than or equal to 6 ft (1.82 m). NEVER work at a Horizontal Distance (H) and Vertical Distance (V) that

results in a calculated Vertical Fall Distance (F) exceeding the gray shaded values on the table in Figure 3.

4.2

FALL ARREST CONNECTIONS: Figure 10 illustrates application of the Jib Boom and its Fall Arrest Connections. The

Jib Boom must always be used with a Full Body Harness and Fall Arrest subsystem. The Glide Rail System is equipped

with a Four-Wheel Trolley that travels back-and-forth inside the Rail Halves. An SRL or Energy Absorbing Lanyard can

be connected the Four-Wheel Trolley. Connect the other end of the SRL or Energy Absorbing Lanyard to the back Dorsal

D-Ring on the Harness.

WARNING:

When transferring between SRL's, always maintain 100% tie-off to ensure fall arrest protection in the event of a fall.

IMPORTANT:

No more than one person, meeting the Capacity requirements speciﬁ ed in Table 1, shall be attached to the Glide Four-

Wheel Trolley.

WARNING:

Inappropriate or incompatible connections between components of the Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) may result in

serious injury or death. See Section 2 for details regarding connector compatibility and safe connections.
