3.3 COUNTERWEIGHT RACK ASSEMBLY: (Refer to Figure 3)
Step 1. Determine the location of the base. The davit arm attachment point must be as close as possible to
directly over the work area.
Step 2. Model 8512894: Insert Leg Support Posts into both Leg Brackets and fully insert quick release pin at
desired height position.
Step 3. Models 8512894 and 8514496: Fully insert both Leg Brackets into Crossmember End Housing. Fully
insert Positive Locking pins in holes closest to the center of the Crossmember End Housing.
Step 4. Fully insert Crossmember Extension into Crossmember End Housing. Pull back the Crossmember
Extension slightly until pin holes align at the position that keeps the Crossmember Extension at the
fullest possible insertion depth into Crossmember End Housing. Fully insert Positive Locking pin.
Step 5. Fully insert End Support through Counterweight Plate Holder Assembly and into Center Support until
the quick release pin holes align at the fi rst or second position. Fully insert a quick release pin and
tighten Clamp Screws.
Step 6. Insert Crossmember Extension into Center Support to any position that aligns quick release pin
holes. Insert a quick release pin.
IMPORTANT: The job site conditions (available space) will determine how far the Crossmember Extension can
be extended after assembly is completed and prior to use of the Counterweight Base. Using the charts in
Figure 5, the correct counterweight load will be determined by the extension position of the Crossmember
Extension.
Step 7. Level the entire Counterweight Base assembly at the work location using the leveling jacks (MODEL
8514496) and quick release pins (both models).
Step 8. Prepare the Offset Mast (Davit) for insertion into the mast sleeve in the Crossmember End Housing.
Instructions for assembly and use of the Offset Mast can be found in Capital Safety document
8514753, "Five Piece Breakdown Hoist System Setup and Winch Installation Instructions."
