3M DBI SALA 8000000 Manuel D'utilisation page 14

B. LEG MOUNT PULLEY: Figures 9 and 10 shows the optional Leg Mount Pulley model 8003238. This pulley is used
when more than one device is mounted to the Tripod leg requiring a directional pulley. The pulley meets a 5:1 safety
factor when used on the DBI-SALA Tripods.The Leg Mount Pulley will accommodate up to 1/4 in. diameter line. Install the
Leg Mount Pulley on the desired Tripod leg as shown in Figure 9. Position the Leg Mount Pulley within 12 in. from the top
of the Tripod. The Pulley may be positioned on either side of the Tripod leg. It may be necessary to remove one of the
Eye Bolts to gain clearance for the lifeline. Tighten the clamp plate bolts to 15 ft-lb. Do not use or install more than one
system on a single Tripod leg.
C. QUICK-MOUNT BRACKET: To install the Quick-Mount Bracket model 8005048 to the Tripod leg, assemble as shown
in Figure 11A. Adjust the Bracket to the desired position on the leg and tighten bolts to 15 ft-lb. Do not over tighten.
Do not install the Quick-Mount Bracket onto the lower (telescoping) leg. The Quick-Mount Bracket must be used for
connection of the Salalift™ Winch (8101000 series), the Work Winch (8103000 series), or for leg mounting of 3M Self-
Retracting Devices (Figure 11B).
D. HEAD MOUNT PULLEYS: The 8000000 and 8000010 model Tripods come equipped with Head Mount Pulleys (A).
These pulleys should be used for mounting the lifeline of the primary use system ove the Tripod head when used in the
leg-mounted position. The Head Mount Pulleys will accommodate up to a 1/4 inch diameter line. See Figures 12.
E. SNATCH BLOCK PULLEYS: Figure 13 show the optional Snatch Block (A) pulley assembly model 8003205. The
Snatch Block pulley is used when more than one device is mounted to the Tripod that requires a directional pulley. This
pulley meets a 5:1 safety factor when used with the DBI-SALA Tripod. The Snatch Block pulley is attached to one of the
unused Eye-Bolts and will accommodate up to 1/4 in. diameter lifeline. Do not use the Salalift™ Winch with the Snatch
Block Pulley because of possible cable rubbing on the Tripod leg and uneven winding of the lifeline onto the winch drum.
F. SALALIFT™ WINCH: When using the Salalift winch (8101000 series) with the Tripod, the winch (B) must be mounted
to the leg inline with the head mount pulleys (Figure 12). Route the winch line over the head mount pulleys as instructed
in the Salalift winch user instructions. Do not use the winch with a Snatch Block Pulley.
4.0 USE
4.1 BEFORE EACH USE: Verify that your work area and Fall Arrest System meet all criteria defined in Section 2 and a formal
Rescue Plan is in place. Inspect the Tripod per the 'User' inspection points defined on the "Inspection and Maintenance
Log" (Table 2). If inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition, remove the system from use immediately. See
Section 5 for more information on defective conditions.
4.2 FALL ARREST CONNECTIONS: The Tripod is used with a Full Body Harness and Energy Absorbing Lanyard or Self-
Retracting Device (SRD).
;
Knots must not be used for load-bearing end terminations. Some knots reduce the strength of the lifeline by 50
percent or more.
5.0 INSPECTION
5.1 INSPECTION FREQUENCY: The Tripod must be inspected at the intervals defined in Section 1. Inspection procedures
are described in the "Inspection and Maintenance Log" (Table 2). Inspect all other components of the Fall Protection
System per the frequencies and procedures defined in the manufacturer's instructions. Extreme working conditions (harsh
environment, prolonged use, etc.) may require increasing the frequency of inspections.
5.2 AFTER A FALL: If the Tripod has been subjected to Fall Arrest or impact forces, it must be immediately removed from
service and inspected.
5.3 DEFECTS: If inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition, remove the Tripod from service immediately and contact
3M regarding replacement or repair. Do not attempt to repair the Fall Arrest System.
;
Authorized Repairs Only: Only 3M or parties authorized in writing my make repairs to this equipment.
5.4 PRODUCT LIFE: The functional life of the Fall Arrest System is determined by work conditions and maintenance. As long
as the product passes inspection criteria, it may remain in service.
6.0 MAINTENANCE, SERVICE, and STORAGE
6.1 CLEANING: Periodically clean the Tripod's metal components with a soft brush, warm water, and a mild soap solution.
Ensure parts are thoroughly rinsed with clean water. Clean labels as required.
6.2 STORAGE AND TRANSPORT: When not in use, store and transport the Tripod and associated Fall Protection equipment
in a cool, dry, clean environment out of direct sunlight. Avoid areas where chemical vapors may exist. Thoroughly inspect
components after extended storage.
