Use Instructions

A user must be of sound mind and body to properly and safely use this equipment in normal and emer-
-
gency situations. Users must have a physician ensure they are clear of any medical conditions that may
affect the proper and safe use of this equipment in normal and emergency situations.
Before using a personal fall arrest system, user must be trained in accordance with the requirements of
-
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.66 in the safe use of the system and its components.
Use only with ANSI, OSHA or CSA compliant personal fall arrest or restraint systems. The anchorage
-
beam and supporting structure must have the strength of supporting a static load, applied in the direc-
tions permitted by the system and this manual, of at least 5,000 lbf (22 kN) for each trolley on the beam.
This load rating can be reduced to 3,600 lbf (16 kN) only if the personal fall arrest system is certified by
a qualified person. Consult ANSI Z359.6 and/or CSA Z259.16 for additional information on certified
anchorages.
The user shall be equipped with a means of limiting the maximum dynamic forces exerted on the user
-
during the arrest of a fall to a maximum of 8 kN (1,800 lbf).
Use of this product must be approved by an engineer or other qualified person to be compatible with any
-
and all structural & operational characteristics of the selected installation location and system to be
connected to this anchorage connector.
The Beam Trolley must be inspected prior to each use for wear, damage, and other deterioration, and
-
formally inspected at least semi-annually. See section 5 for specific inspection details. If such conditions
are found, remove the anchor from service immediately.
The Beam Trolley should be positioned in such a way that minimizes the potential for falls and the poten-
-
tial fall distance during use. The complete fall protection system must be planned (including all compo-
nents, calculating fall clearance, and swing fall) before using.
A rescue plan, and the means at hand to implement it, must be in place that provides the prompt rescue
-
of users in the event of a fall, or assures that users are able to rescue themselves.
After a fall occurs, the anchorage connector must be removed from service immediately and destroyed.

Usage Limitations

The Beam Trolley shall not be used outside its limitations, or for any purpose other than that for which it is
intended.

1.4.1 Physical Limitations

Persons with muscular, skeletal, or other physical disorders should consult a physician before using. Preg-
nant women and minors must never use the Beam Trolley. Increasing age and lowered physical fitness may
reduce a person's ability to withstand shock loads during fall arrest or prolonged suspension. Consult a
physician if there is any question about physical ability to safely use this product to arrest a fall or suspend.

1.4.2 Design Limitations

The Beam Trolley is designed for single user, with a maximum weight of 400 lbs (181 kg) including the
-
weight of the user plus clothing, tools, and other user-borne objects. For ANSI Z359.1 applications
maximum capacity is 310 lbs (140 kg).
The Beam Trolley may only be loaded as shown in the LOADING CONDITIONS DIAGRAM.
-
The Beam Trolley is designed to be used in temperatures ranging from -40ºF to +130ºF
-
(-40°C to +54°C).
Do not expose the Beam Trolley to chemicals or harsh solutions which may have a harmful effect.
-
Do not alter or modify this product in any way.
-
Caution must be taken when using any component of a fall protection, work positioning, rope access, or
-
rescue system near moving machinery, electrical hazards, sharp edges, or abrasive surfaces, as contact
may cause equipment failure, personal injury, or death.
Do not use/install equipment without proper training by a "competent person" as defined by
-
OSHA 29 CFR 1926.32(f).
