D.02 SETUP POSITION
Ensuring optimal stability
1.
The frame must be positioned
on a solid, stable surface able
to withstand the down-force of
the frame.
2. The feet of the frame need to be
secured to the edge with hooks,
or any other points, to prevent them
from slipping. This is especially
true in the case of smooth surfaces,
or a where there is a potential risk
of unfavorable loading angles on
the feet.
3. Both feet should ideally be 20 cm
parallel away from the edge, to
ensure a solid surface and
optimal movement.
4. The feet should be between 110
and 150 cm apart for optimum
stability and be secured with the
long red strap supplied.
DANGER
The frame should never be used
as anchor, either for the work
rope, the backup rope or for
connecting lanyards of any
operator who are standing
next to the frame.
5. The in-going rope should be in line
with the top bar to prevent the frame
from being pulled sideways
6. The distance of the rigging point
should be at least 2.5 m away
from the feet of the frame in order
to prevent excess compression
force on the frame legs. Ideally, the
distance between the rigging point
and the frame should not exceed
4.5 m. This helps to prevent the rope
angles becoming too large, which
can negatively affect the handling
of the frame.
7. The anchor should never be
positioned above the top of
the frame. If needed, a deviation
rigging point can be used
(see diagram, right).
