5.0 Installation
5.1 General Installation and Making Connections
The MightEvac Self-Retracting Lifeline must be
mounted to an overhead anchorage by the attachment
swivel using a locking carabiner or other Miller approved
anchorage connector, or it must be used in conjunction
with a Miller mounting bracket which is then installed
on a tripod, davit system, quad pod, or wall mount. The
anchorage must be capable of supporting a 5,000 lb.
(22.2kN) tensile load or meet OSHA 1926.502 require-
ments for a safety factor of two. Review all warnings
and instructions when selecting a mounting location.
5.2 Installation of MightEvac
to Mounting Bracket
Step 1: Remove red, round protective stickers from both sides of the MightEvac unit.
Step 2: Insert attachment swivel of the unit into bracket as shown.
Step 3: Slide the unit forward until the threaded holes in the housing (where stickers were removed) are
aligned with the holes in the front of the bracket as shown.
NOTE: The carrying handle of the unit must be in the upward position away from the bracket.
Insert the fastener through the
lockwasher, spacer and hole in the
bracket. Tighten to 8 plus or minus
one (1) ft.-lbs. (96 plus or minus 12
in.-lbs.). Repeat for opposite side.
Step 4: Insert the pushpin through the
bracket in the holes provided. This
securely attaches the unit to the
bracket. Ensure the pushpin is
securely through both holes and
remains in place.
Step 5: Attach the unit with bracket to an
approved Miller anchoring device
and secure with the pushpins
provided. Refer to installation
procedures in sections 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6 and 5.7 of this manual.
