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.
• Fastener Selection: Figure 3 shows mounting hole locations on the HC Davit Base. Select fasteners appropriate
for the anchorage structure and material thickness (B). The fasteners must meet the Pull Out Strength requirement
specified in Table 1 and be selected by a Competent Person.
• HC Davit Base Placement: Figure 3 illustrates placement of the HC Davit Base on a horizontal surface. Offset the
HC Davit Base from any edge of the surface per the fastener manufacturer's recommended setback distance (A).
Install the HC Davit Base vertically, with a tolerance of plus or minus 1° from vertical.
3.2 INSTALLING THE HC DAvIT BASE: Figure 4 illustrates installation of the HC 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 given in Table 1 and
selected fasteners:
1. Position the HC Davit Base upright on the horizontal surface, observing the fastener manufacturer's recommended
setback distance from any edge. Mark and then drill all mounting holes to the fastener manufacturer's recommended
diameter and depth.
2. Secure the HC Davit Base to the anchorage structure with the selected fasteners as instructed in the fastener
manufacturer's instructions.
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.
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 in 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.
6.0 MAINTENANCE, SERVICING, STORAGE
6.1 CLEANING: Periodically clean the HC Davit Base's metal components with a soft brush, warm water, and a mild soap
solution. Ensure parts are thoroughly rinsed with clean water.
6.2 SERvICE: Only 3M or parties authorized in writing by 3M may make repairs to this equipment. If the HC Davit Base has
been subject to fall force or inspection reveals an unsafe or defective conditions, remove the system from service and
contact 3M regarding replacement or repair.
6.3 STORAGE AND TRANSPORT: When not in use, store and transport the HC Davit Base and associated fall protection
equipment in a cool, dry, clean environment out of direct sunlight. Avoid areas where chemical vapors may exist.
Thoroughly inspect components after extended storage.
