3.0 INSTALLATION
3.1 PLANNING: Plan your fall protection system prior to installation of the High Capacity (HC) Davit Base. Account for all
factors that may affect your safety before, during and after a fall. Consider all requirements defined in Section 2 and Table
1 to determine the correct fasteners and placement for mounting the HC Davit Base on the anchorage structure.
• Anchorage: Anchorage structure on which the HC Davit Base is mounted must meet the Anchorage Load
requirements specified in Section 2 and Moment Load and Vertical Load requirements in Table 1.
• Core Mount Davit Base Placement: Figure 3 illustrates placement of the HC Core Mount Davit Base on a horizontal
surface. Anchor the HC Davit Base in concrete with an edge distance (A) and material thickness (B) of appropriate
measurements determined by the structural requirements as approved by a Competent Person. Install the
HC Davit Base vertically, with a tolerance of plus or minus 1° from vertical.
• Flush Mount Davit Base Placement: Figure 3 illustrates placement of the HC Flush Mount Davit Base on a
horizontal surface. Anchor the HC Davit Base in concrete with an edge distance (A) and material thickness (B) of
appropriate measurements determined by the structural requirements as approved by a Competent Person. Use a
level to install the Davit Base vertically, with a tolerance of plus or minus 1° from vertical.
• Fastener Selection (Flush Mount): Figure 3 shows mounting hole locations on the HC Flush Mount Davit Base.
Select fasteners appropriate for the anchorage structure and material thickness (B).
3.2 INSTALLING THE HC CORE MOUNT DAVIT BASE: Figure 4 illustrates installation of the HC Core Mount Davit
Base. Mount the HC Davit Base on the floor of a concrete or steel structure meeting the strength requirements of the
HC Davit Base and recommended fasteners:
1. Drill a hole with diameter and depth measurements meeting both product specifications and the recommendation of a
qualified engineer.
2. Secure the HC Davit Base in the drilled hole as necessary with an epoxy or construction adhesive around the outside
of the Davit Sleeve as appropriate for the environment.
3. After installation of the HC Davit Base, and before installing the HC Davit in the HC Davit Base, inspect the
HC Davit Base per the 'Competent Person' inspection points in the "Inspection and Maintenance Log". If inspection
reveals an unsafe or defective condition, remove the HC Davit Base from service, mark effectively or destroy to
prevent accidental use, and contact 3M regarding replacement.
4. Install the HC Davit in the HC Davit Base per the instructions included with the HC Davit.
3.3 INSTALLING THE HC FLUSH MOUNT DAVIT BASE: Figure 4 illustrates installation of the HC Flush Mount Davit
Base. Mount the HC Davit Base on the floor of a concrete or steel structure meeting the strength requirements of the
HC Davit Base and selected fasteners:
1. Drill a hole with diameter and depth measurements meeting both product specifications and the recommendation of a
qualified engineer. The mounting plate should be able to rest firmly on the ground above the hole.
2. Secure the HC Davit Base in the drilled hole as necessary with an epoxy or construction adhesive around the outside
of the Davit Sleeve as appropriate for the environment.
3. Secure the HC Davit Base to the floor with the recommended fasteners as instructed in the fastener manufacturer's
instructions.
4. After installation of the HC Davit Base, and before installing the HC Davit in the HC Davit Base, inspect the
HC Davit Base per the 'Competent Person' inspection points in the "Inspection and Maintenance Log". If inspection
reveals an unsafe or defective condition, remove the HC Davit Base from service, mark effectively or destroy to
prevent accidental use, and contact 3M regarding replacement.
5. Install the HC Davit in the HC Davit Base per the instructions included with the HC Davit.
4.0 USE
4.1 BEFORE EACH USE: Verify that your work area and Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) meet all criteria defined in
Section 2 and a formal Rescue Plan is in place. Inspect the HC Davit Base per the 'User' inspection points defined on the
"Inspection and Maintenance Log". If inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition, do not use the system. Remove
the system from service and destroy, or contact 3M regarding replacement or repair.
5.0 INSPECTION
5.1 INSPECTION FREQUENCY: The HC Davit Base must be inspected at the intervals defined in Section 1. Inspection
procedures are described in the "Inspection and Maintenance Log". Inspect all other components of the Fall Protection
System per the frequencies and procedures defined in the manufacturer's instructions.
5.2 DEFECTS: If inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition, remove the HC Davit Base from service immediately
and contact 3M regarding replacement or repair. Do not attempt to repair the Fall Arrest System. Order new labels for the
HC Davit Base if the existing labels are defective.
;
Authorized Repairs Only: Only 3M or parties authorized in writing may make repairs to this equipment.
5.3 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.
