3. Calculate possible swing fall hazards, total fall distance, and
required clearance distance. If you have a swing-fall hazard or
do not have the required clearance distance, STOP and
reevaluate your application and system. Your work location
should never exceed an angle of 15 degrees in any direction in
relation to your anchorage location.
4. Inspect this
Fall Arrest System in accordance with Section 8 of this manual.
Be sure to consult, and adhere to the instructional
materials, labels and warnings accompanying the other
components of your PFAS as well.
5. Loosen the variable-position jaw and create an opening large
enough to allow the beam flange to fit between the jaws. For
model 7489, loosen the adjustment handle all the way and
remove the detent pin (see figure 3.5). For model 7535, first
loosen the outer retainer nut and then loosen the inner retainer
nut (see figure 3.6).
6. Position the Vertical Beam Anchor over the beam so that both
jaws extend over the flange.
7. Slide the variable-position jaw toward the beam flange until both
jaws are in direct contact with the beam flange. For model 7489,
fasten the variable position jaw in place by first inserting the
detent-pin in the first open hole on the bar. Then, turn the
adjustment handle in a clockwise direction until hand-tight. For
model 7535, using a gloved hand, tighten the inner retainer nut
until hand-tight and then tighten the outer retainer nut until it is
hand-tight.
8. Check to make sure that both jaws are in direct contact with the
beam flange. There should be no gap between the beam
flange and the jaws of your Vertical Beam Anchor, which
should fit tightly on the beam flange and be IMMOVABLE.
9. Check your installation to ensure that the Fixed-Position Beam
Anchor cannot come off of the beam; that it is fitted tightly to the
beam flange and CANNOT BE MOVED.
10. Ensure your Full Body Harness is properly donned and adjusted
and that your connecting device is securely attached to your
back D-ring. Tie-off to the Vertical Beam Anchor with your
connecting device.
11. If using your Vertical Beam Anchor(s) as an anchor point(s) for a
FallTech Temporary HLL System, please refer to the instructions
for that system and proceed with rigging your HLL.
12. Proceed cautiously with your work. Do not run, jump, make
sudden movements or over-reach. This Beam Anchor is in a
fixed position and is immovable – once you reach the extended
Beam Anchor, and all components of your Personal
