STEP 10 - ROTATION STOP INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL)
10.1
When ordered with a rotation stop,
one bracket will have a plate welded
to it with slots to accept rotation stop
bolts. This bracket must be installed
as the upper bracket. Additionally, an
angle with mounting hardware is
included to be installed on the vertical
member of the Swing Arm. Refer to
diagram 10A
for the following steps.
10.2
Follow Swing Arm installation
instructions in Step 2 on page 7 or
Step 4 on page 10. When tightening
the top pivot bolt, use the included
insert as a socket to hold the nut while
tightening the bolt (a deep socket or
other method may be used at the
installer’s discretion). Once the bolt is
tight, the insert may be removed but
should be kept in the event the bolt ever needs to be removed.
10.3
Install the rotation stop studs and nuts in the stop plate but do not fully tighten yet. Install the stop angle with
included hardware and adjust vertically so the bottom of the angle is even with the top of the flange on the
stop nut (
diagram 10A
). Torque hardware per
chart
8A
, page 14.
10.4
Locate rotation stop hardware in the stop plate such that when the nut hits the stop angle, the Swing Arm is
prevented from hitting any obstruction and that the fall zone is away from any dangerous machinery or
conditions. Orient the nuts so the flat of the hex contacts the flat of the stop angle. Torque stop hardware
per
chart 8A
, page 14.
STEP 11 - FINAL STEPS
11.1
Check to make sure all bolts are tight and lockwashers are compressed.
11.2
Grease all fittings (use Lubriplate #630-AA or equivalent).
11.3
If necessary, touch up system with paint provided.
11.4
Install yellow rubber tracdoms on open ends of steel track.
11.5
Verify capacity labels are legible from the ground or egress location.
11.6
For more than a one worker system, verify that the required brake or drive is installed and verify that only a
SRL with sufficient extra payout is being used. Additional line is required to allow the Swing Arm to move
during a fall event without the SRL reaching its maximum length which may cause the second worker to lose
his or her balance.
11.7
Proof testing may be performed if required by state or local jurisdictions. The qualified person responsible
for this fall arrest system may also request a proof load test. The Swing Arm Anchorage System has been
designed to withstand a static proof load test not to exceed 125% of the rated MAAF with no visible
permanent deformation. The trolley shall be slowly loaded to avoid additional dynamic loads. The proof load
should be applied for a minimum of one minute. After this test is complete, the Swing Arm Anchorage
System shall be inspected as if a fall event had occurred.
11.8
Keep Packing List, Installation Manual, General Arrangement Drawing, and any other inserts filed together
in a safe place.
