Installation - 3M DBI-SALA Flexiguard M200 Handbuch

2.0 INSTALLATION:
2.1 PLANNING: Plan your Fall Protection system prior to installation of the Counterweight Base. 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.
2.2 PREPARING THE JIB BASE (8530886): Counterweight Base model 8530870 ships already filled. Counterweight Base
model 8530869, however, will need to be prepared before use. See Figure 2 for reference. To prepare the Jib Base:
1. Fill each of the Counterweight Boxes with 1.13 yd
the top of the box. No more than 0.75 in. (19 mm) of unfilled box is allowed. Once filled, allow time for the concrete
to cure.
2. Attach each of the filled Counterweight Boxes to the Counterweight Base. Use the Fork Pockets (C) on the
Counterweight Box to set it in place on the Base. Attach each Turnbuckle (A) to the Tie-Down Rings (B) located on
the Base and tension the Turnbuckles until the Counterweight Box is fastened tight to the Base.
2.3 INSTALLING THE LIFTING KIT (8530777): The Lifting Kit (sold separately) may be used to transport the
Counterweight Boxes instead of using the Fork Pockets located on the Boxes. See Figure 3 for reference. To install the
Lifting Kit:
;
Do not use the 8530777 Lifting Rings to transport the Counterweight Box after it has been fastened to the Base.
The Lifting Rings are only for transportation of each Counterweight Box by itself.
1. Remove the two Bolts (A) from the top of the Counterweight Box.
2. Insert the two Lifting Rings (B) into the tapped holes of the Counterweight Box, torquing the Lifting Rings to
100 ft-lb. (136 N-m).
3. Attach the Connectors (C) of a chain or web strap to the Lifting Rings to attach the Counterweight Box.
2.4 INSTALLING THE JIB BOOM: After the Counterweight Base has been prepared, it may be used as a mounting point
for M200 Modular Jib Systems. See Figure 4 for reference. To install, place the M200 Jib Boom (A) onto the Jib Mount (B)
of the Counterweight Base. After placement, the Locking Pin (C) of the Jib Boom may be either engaged or disengaged,
thus restricting or enabling system rotation.
2.5 TRANSPORTING THE SYSTEM: The Counterweight Base may be transported using the Fork Pockets (A) located at
the bottom of the Base (see Figure 5). The Counterweight Boxes may be attached to the Counterweight Base during
transport or they may be moved separately. Figure 6 displays the location of the center of gravity for the system when
paired with the largest M200 Jib Boom (8530898), both with (X) and without (Y) the Counterweight Boxes. The center of
gravity for the Counterweight Boxes alone (Z) is also displayed. The center of gravity will move closer to the back of the
Counterweight Base when smaller M200 Jib Booms are used.
;
Engage the Locking Pin (C) of the Jib Boom to prevent rotation during transport. See Figure 4 for reference.
;
Do not transport at speeds exceeding 5 mph (8 kph).
;
When transporting the system, be aware of overhead obstructions and electrical hazards which may result in
serious injury or death.
2.6 INSTALLING THE WHEEL KIT (8530908): The Counterweight Base Wheel Kit (sold separately) may be installed onto
the Counterweight Base as an alternative means of transporting the Counterweight Base. See Figure 11 for reference. To
install the Wheel Kit, fasten the four Wheel Assemblies (B) onto the Mounting Plates (C) of the Counterweight Base using
the provided 1/2 in. (13 mm) fasteners. Torque fasteners to 60 ft-lb (81 N-m).
;
The M200 Jib System cannot be used while the wheels of the Wheel Kit are contacting the ground.
2.7 INSTALLING THE LEVELING KIT (8530907): The Counterweight Base Leveling Kit (sold separately) may be installed
onto the Counterweight Base to be used for leveling the system on uneven working surfaces. See Figure 11 for reference.
To install the Leveling Kit, fasten the four Jack Assemblies (A) onto the Mounting Plates (C) of the Counterweight Base
using the provided 1/2 in. (13 mm) fasteners. Torque fasteners to 60 ft-lb (81 N-m).
;
The Wheel Kit (8530908) must be removed in order to install the Leveling Kit.
3.0 USE:
3.1 BEFORE EACH USE: Verify that your work area and Fall Protection system meet all criteria defined in these instructions.
Verify that a formal Rescue Plan is in place. Inspect the system per the 'User' inspection points defined in the "Inspection
and Maintenance Log" (Table 2). If inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition, or if there is any doubt about its
condition for safe use, remove the system from service immediately. Clearly tag the system "DO NOT USE". See Section 4
for more information.
3.2 COUNTERWEIGHT REQUIRED: Both Counterweight Boxes must be installed onto the Counterweight Base before using
the M200 Jib System. See Figure 7 for reference.
3.3 VERIFYING WORKING SURFACE: The Counterweight Base must be placed on a level working surface with a slope of
plus or minus 1°. Use the Leveling Indicators (A) located on the Counterweight Base to verify whether the Base is level.
See Figure 8 for reference.
3.4 USING THE LEVELING KIT (8530907): After installing the Leveling Kit, it may be used to level the Jib System. See
Section 2.6 for more information.
1. Turn the handle of the Jack clockwise until it comes into contact with the ground. Do not raise the Counterweight
(0.86 m ) of concrete (A) with a rating of 4,000 psi (30 MPa) to
