PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Figure 1 illustrates the 3M™ DBI-SALA® Variable Offset Davit System. The Variable Davit System is used to raise or lower a
single user to or from a work area. The Variable Davit System consists of the Davit Arm, the Davit Mast, and the Davit Base.
Figure 2 illustrates components of the Variable Davit System. See Table 1 for Component Specifications.
The Davit Arm, in addition to its composite structure, is comprised of the Upper Bracket (A) and Lower Bracket (B), which secure
a lifeline routed through the Davit Pulleys: the Lower Davit Pulley (C), the Upper Davit Pulley (D), and the Rear Davit Pulley (E).
The Winch Bracket (F) secures a winch to the back of the Davit Arm.
The Davit Mast is comprised of one or two Mast Extensions (G). It is secured in place between the Davit Arm and the Davit Base.
The Davit Base is comprised of the Base Center Section (H), the Leg Sleeves (I), and the Leg Tubes (J). The Adjustable Feet (K)
provide height adjustment for the Variable Davit System and keep the system upright. The Tri-Screws (L) and Locking Pins (M)
allow for adjustment of the width of the system. The Level Indicator (N) helps the user ensure that the system is properly level.
