Training : It is the responsibility of users of this equipment to understand these instructions and be trained
in correct installation, use, and maintenance of this equipment. Users must be aware of the consequences
of improper installation or use of this equipment. This instruction manual is not a substitute for a training
program. Training must be provided on a periodic basis to ensure user proficiency.
Description : The Concrete Mounted Jib Base (Figure 1) is a anchor point for overhead applications. The Concrete
Mounted Jib Base is designed for use with a vertical mast being inserted into a concrete mounted base.
Purpose : The Concrete Mounted Jib Base is designed for use as a component of a Personal Fall Arrest System
(PFAS). PFASs are used where free fall is possible before the fall is arrested and typically include: a Self
Retracting Lifeline (EN 360) or Energy Absorbing Lanyard (EN 355); connector (EN 362) to attach to the
anchor; and a Full Body Harness (EN 361).
INSTALLATION:
Step-1 : Mark anchor holes to be drilled per Figure 2 -
A
layout.
• Drill 129mm (Ø5.06”) hole to a depth of 578mm (22.75”) into the existing concrete. (See Figure 2 -
B
.)
Model Mounting Hardware Minimum Moment Load Minimum Vertical Load
8530483 39,047 N*m (345,600 in*lbs) 16 kN (3,600 lbs)
8560026 29,286 N*m (259,200 in*lbs) 12 kN (2,700 lbs)
• Remove debris from hole and inject epoxy into hole per manufacturer instructions. (See Figure 2 -
C
.)
NOTE: Ensure that no epoxy ingresses into anchor opening during install. Capital Safety recommends using
Rock River® All Weather 400 Epoxy, (Part# 0269002, 9.3 oz tube) or equivalent to anchor base.
• After the Concrete Anchors have cured over the appropriate time as specified by epoxy manufacturer,
continue on to Step 2.
Step - 2 : Fastening the Mounted Jib Base:
• Make sure the Core Holes are free of any debris before inserting the Jib Base. (See Figure 3.)
• Fasten the Jib Base to the existing concrete by tightening the concrete anchor bolts to their
recommended torque.
