B. SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY
The Miller model ShadowLite™ beam anchor is designed for use with Miller approved components
only. Substitution or replacement with non-approved components will endanger system compatibility and may
affect the reliability and safety of the total system.
II
. INSTALLATION
Before installation of this equipment, carefully inspect to assure that it is in useable condition.
Check for missing or damaged parts. Consult the inspection section for further details.
1. Locate and identify a compatible structural beam, capable of withstanding a 5,000 lb. static load, or that
meets OSHA 1926.502 requirements for a safety factor of two.
2. Press in on the RATCHET RELEASE BUTTON and slide the ADJUSTABLE FOOT out to its endpoint
(Furthest away from the FIXED FOOT). Release the button.
3. Place the beam anchor over the beam and slide the ADJUSTABLE FOOT back towards the FIXED FOOT
until both are in contact with opposite sides of the beam’s flange.
4. Pull back slightly on the ADJUSTABLE FOOT to seat the RATCHET RELEASE BUTTON in the next
available ratchet slot. The top face of the button should be approximately flush/parallel to the outer face of
the ADJUSTABLE FOOT when properly engaged in the ratchet slot of the SUPPORT SHAFT.
5. Finally: Grab onto opposite ends of the ShadowLite™
beam anchor and make certain that it cannot be
removed from the beam by twisting or rocking.
Removal:
Repeat Step 2 of the INSTALLATION before lifting the unit off of the beam.
