IMPORTANT: The tripod must be positioned so the working line will be
directly over the intended work area. It must be positioned to ensure a safe
working area for the operator.
WARNING: Do not use the tripod if one or more of the legs are not locked
into the erect position (completely spread out).
3.5 CONNECTING EQUIPMENT TO THE TRIPOD: The tripod has been
designed for multi-purpose applications that may involve the use of
one or more systems attached to the tripod. The following details the
connection of equipment to DBI/SALA tripods. See associated
equipment instructions for further information:
A. EYE-BOLT: A component (self
retracting lifeline, rope grab/
lifeline system) can be
attached to either one of the
eye-bolt anchorage points.
See Figure 6. Connect
equipment to the eye bolt
anchorage point by using a
clevis and pin (minimum
breaking strength of 5,000
lbs.), self locking carabiners or
self locking snap hooks.
B. LEG MOUNT PULLEY:
Figures 7 and 8 shows the
optional leg mount pulley model 8003238. This pulley is used
when more than one device is mounted to the tripod leg requiring a
directional pulley. The leg mount pulley will accommodate up to 1/4
inch diameter line. Install the leg mount pulley on the desired
tripod leg as shown in Figure 7. Position the leg mount pulley
directly under the leg lock
near the top of the tripod.
The pulley may be
positioned on either side
of the tripod leg. It may be
necessary to remove one
of the eye bolts to gain
clearance for the lifeline.
Tighten the clamp plate
bolts to 15 ft.-lbs. Do not
use or install more than
one system on a single
tripod leg.
