2.2.6 USING THE DAVIT ARM ASSEMBLY
The Davit Arm Assembly is designed with adjustable offset
and 360 degree rotation. This Davit Arm Assembly allows the
combined use of an entry/ retrieval winch and a self-retracting
lifeline (SRL).
Step 1: Adjust the offset by pulling the pin assembly (16) and
selecting the one of three holes offered in the Davit
Arm receiver tube (22) as shown in Figure 12.
2.3 RESCUE
The Davit arm can be rotated 360 degrees in a rescue/retrieval situation so an injured worker can be moved
to a safe environment.
The Advanced Portable Fall Arrest Post must be used in a vertical position at all times to effectively rotate the
Davit Arm. The Advanced Portable Fall Arrest Post may be used as a fall arrest anchor point during a rescue
scenario. Alternative anchor points for fall protection use should be identifi ed and planned for use during a
rescue scenario.
Mounting Brackets for Winch and SRL
The mounting brackets are for use with the Davit Arm Assembly. Winches and SRL's must have a suitable
working load.
Set-up of the Mounting Brackets
The mounting brackets are bolted onto the Davit Arm Assembly when shipped from the manufacturer. The
brackets are arranged to most common Winch/ SRL confi guration. If these brackets need to be repositioned to
suit your application, remove the two bolts securing the bracket to the Davit Arm Receiver Tube (9) shown in
Figure 13, reposition to other bracket mount location and replace bolts and tighten.
WARNING:
The Adaptor Brackets for your winch or SRL must be offset to the side that the crank handle is on to
eliminate interference between the crank handle and the Davit Arm Assembly and the mounting brackets. Not following
these instructions can impair retrieval capabilities that can cause serious injury or death.
Using the Mounting Brackets
Install and use the winch and/or SRL according to manufacturer's instructions.
Proper operation and maintenance of the winch and/or SRL are critical to the safe usage of your DBI-SALA
Advanced Portable Fall Arrest Post.
