3.0 INSTALLATION
3.1 PLANNING: Plan your Fall Protection system prior to installation of the Jib Boom. Account for all factors that may affect
your safety before, during and after a fall. Consider all requirements, limitations, and specifications defined in Section 2
and Table 1.
3.2 PLACING THE JIB BOOM: Before the Jib Boom can be used, it must be secured to a Jib Base. See Figure 7 for
reference. To secure the Jib Boom to a Jib Base:
1.
Install and prepare the Jib Base (A) per its User Instructions. See Figure 1 for a list of compatible Jib Base models.
2. Secure the Rail Assembly and Gusset to the Upright Assembly using the 3/4 in. hardware provided. Torque hardware
to 130 ft-lb (176 N-m).
3. Connect the Jib Boom to the lifting device (forklift, overhead crane, etc.) that will transport the system. Insert the
Transportation Pin (B) before lifting the Jib Boom. Ensure that the Jib Boom is lifted by the Lifting Ring (A) located
atop the Gusset.
4. Transport the Jib Boom to the Jib Base. Lower the Jib Boom onto the Jib Base (A).
;
When transporting the Jib Boom via forklift, driving speed must not exceed 5 mph (8 kpm).
5. After placement of the Jib Boom, rotate the Jib Boom to its desired work position by means of the Rotation Handle.
First, remove the Locking Pin (A) from the Rotation Handle. Then, lift the Rotation Handle to its perpendicular position
(B), and secure the handle by reinserting the Locking Pin (C).
6. To lock rotation of the Jib Boom, position the Locking Pin (A) over one of the holes on the Jib Base and then engage
the Locking Pin to secure the Jib Boom. Alternatively, the Locking Pin may be kept retracted to allow the Jib Boom to
rotate freely. Rotation Stops (B) may be inserted to limit System Rotation (X) within a desired range.
3.3 TRANSPORTING AFTER PLACEMENT: The Jib System may be moved after placement on some Jib Base models. For
more information, see the manufacturer instructions for your Jib Base model.
3.4 ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE JIB BOOM: After securing the Jib Boom to the Jib Base, you may adjust the
height of the Jib Boom. Height adjustment procedures vary based on your Jib Boom model. See Figure 1 for Jib Boom
identification.
• B1 MODELS: This series of M100 Jib Boom models is adjustable through means of an Adjustment Winch attached to
the base of the Jib Boom. See Figure 8 for reference.
INSTALLING THE ADJUSTMENT WINCH CABLE:
;
This series of the M100 Jib Boom is shipped with the cable of the Adjustment Winch already routed through the
M100 Jib Boom. If the cable is already routed, skip to “Using the Adjustment Winch”.
1. Pay out the Cable (B) of the Adjustment Winch (A) by rotating the handle counterclockwise.
2. Extend the cable slowly as you thread it first through the Upper Pulley (A), then around the Lower Pulley (B) of
the Locking Assembly. From the Lower Pulley, guide the cable back towards the Upper Pulley, then attach the cable
thimble to the 1/2 in. Anchor Bolt (C) between the spacer washers. Torque hardware to 60 ft-lb (81 N-m).
USING THE ADJUSTMENT WINCH:
3. After securing the cable through the system, the System Height (H) of the Jib Boom may be adjusted by turning
the handle of the Adjustment Winch. By turning the handle clockwise (R), the Jib Boom is raised. By turning the
handle counterclockwise (L), the Jib Boom is lowered. The height of the Jib Boom may be set anywhere between
the Side Plates (X) at the top and bottom of the Jib Boom. The Jib Boom may be raised until the Side Plates touch
at the top of the system.
• B2 MODELS: This series of M100 Jib Boom models is adjustable through means of the Adjustment Channel attached
to the Fixed Upright Assembly. See Figure 9 for reference. To adjust the height of the Jib Boom:
1. Remove the two Channel Fasteners (A) from the Adjustment Channel (B).
2. Set the Jib Boom to the desired height. Each hole in the Adjustment Channel adjusts the height of the system by
6.0 in. (15 cm).
3. Fasten the two Channel Fasteners (A) to secure the Adjustment Channel at its new height. Torque 5/8 in. hardware
to 75 ft-lb (102 N-m).
3.5 CONNECTING A SELF-RETRACTING DEVICE (SRD): To connect to the M100 Jib System, the user must first connect
an SRD to the Jib Boom. See Figure 11 for reference. To connect an SRD to the Jib Boom:
1. Secure the top connector of your SRD (A) to the Connection Eye (B) on the Rail Assembly.
2. Secure the end connector of your SRD (B) to the D-Ring (A) on your Full Body Harness.
3. When using the SRD with the Jib System, stay within the Safe Working Radius (A) of the Jib Boom. The user should
remain as directly below the Connection Eye as possible when using the system. For more information on safe work
area, see Section 4.
3.6 INSTALLATION AND USE OF THE FORK POCKET KIT (8530911): For B1 Jib Boom models, a Fork Pocket kit (sold
separately) may be secured to the Jib Boom to facilitate easy transport without use of a Jib Base or the D-Ring atop the
Gusset. See Figure 10 for reference. To connect the Fork Pockets to the Jib Boom and transport:
1. Remove the Fasteners (A) from the Side Plates (B) at the base of the Upright Assembly.
2. Place the Fork Pockets (C) on either side of the Jib Boom, flush against the Side Plates (B) with their mounting holes
aligned. Insert the new Fasteners (A) to secure, threading through both the Fork Pockets and both the Side Plates.
Torque 5/8 in. hardware to 75 ft-lb (102 N-m).
