1.7 AFTER A FALL: If this equipment is subjected to fall arrest or impact force, remove it from service immediately. Clearly
tag it "DO NOT USE". See Section 4 for more information.
2.0 INSTALLATION
2.1 PLANNING: Plan your Fall Protection system prior to installation of the H-Base. Account for all factors that may affect
your safety before, during, and after a fall. Consider all requirements, limitations, and specifications defined in these
instructions.
2.2 ASSEMBLE STEEL OUTRIGGER BASE: See Figure 3. Position the Main Center Base in the desired location. Set the two
Outrigger Legs in place and attach with the supplied 1/2" hardware. Torque hardware to 60 ft-lb (81 N-m).
2.3 INSTALL DRIVE OVER GUARDS: See Figure 4. Position the drive over guards. Attach with the supplied 3/8" hardware.
Torque hardware to 45 ft-lb (61 N-m).
2.4 INSTALL THE M100 JIB BOOM ON THE BASE: See Figure 5. Lower the M100 Jib Boom onto the Hitch Ball Post of the
H-Base.
1. Lubricating the mast: See Figure 6. Apply grease to the grease fitting located on the Mast.
2.5 TRANSPORTING THE SYSTEM: See Figure 7. The system may be transported using the Lifting Channels (B) located at
the bottom of the base. Before transporting, position the upright in the desired angle. Lower the Locking Pin (A) to lock
the rotation of the Jib Boom during transport.
;
Do not transport the system without the Rotation Lock Pin inserted.
;
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.
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 POSITIONING THE SYSTEM: See Figure 8. Place the H-Base on a level resting structure meeting the strength
requirements called out in Table 1. Using the Level Indicators, check that the resting structure slope is within plus or
minus 1° from vertical in both directions of the base.
3.3 SAFE WORKING AREA: The safe working radius of the Jib Base does not extend beyond the length of the Jib Base itself.
See Figure 9 for reference.When using the M100 Jib System, the user should remain within the indicated Safe Working
Area (A). Leaving the Safe Working Area to an Outside Location (B) is dangerous and could result in serious injury or
death. When working on either side of the M100 Jib System, keep the anchor point as close overhead as possible. If a
rotation stop is in place on the jib mount, never work past that rotation stop. See the instruction manual for the M100 Jib
Boom (5908371) for more information.
4.0 INSPECTION
;
After product has been removed from service, it may not be returned to service until a Competent Person confirms in
writing that it is acceptable to do so.
4.1 INSPECTION FREQUENCY: The product shall be inspected by the user before each use and, additionally, by a
Competent Person other than the user at intervals of no longer than one year. A higher frequency of equipment use
and harsher conditions may require increasing the frequency of Competent Person inspections. The frequency of these
inspections should be determined by the Competent Person per the specific conditions of the worksite.
4.2 INSPECTION PROCEDURES: Inspect this product per the procedures listed in the "Inspection and Maintenance Log".
Documentation of each inspection should be maintained by the owner of this equipment. An inspection and maintenance
log should be placed near the product or be otherwise easily accessible to users. It is recommended that the product is
marked with the date of next or last inspection.
4.3 DEFECTS: If the H-Base cannot be returned to service because of an existing defect or unsafe condition, then either
destroy the system or contact 3M or a 3M-authorized service center about possible repair.
4.4 PRODUCT LIFE: The functional life of the H-Base is determined by work conditions and maintenance. As long as the
product passes inspection criteria, it may remain in service.
5.0 MAINTENANCE, SERVICE, and STORAGE
;
Equipment that is in need of maintenance or scheduled for maintenance should be tagged "DO NOT USE". These
equipment tags should not be removed until maintenance is performed.
5.1 CLEANING: Periodically clean the H-Base with a soft brush, warm water, and a mild soap solution. Ensure parts are
thoroughly rinsed with clean water.
5.2 SERVICE: Only 3M or parties authorized in writing by 3M may make repairs to this equipment.
