DBI SALA ROLLGLISS R520 Manuel D'instructions page 4

• Connection to a EPV/EWP rescue box (replace old system): The Rollgliss R520 Escape Device may
be used to replace an old system in an existing rescue box. A hammerlock is used to connect the R520
anchorage handle to the U-bolt in the rescue box. See Section 2 for compatibility and anchorage strength
requirements. Rope lifeline length capacities vary by rescue box.
• Installed with New Rescue Box: The Rollgliss R520 Escape Device may be used with an optional DBI
SALA Rescue Box for bucket truck applications (Figure 4). Various rope lifeline lengths (up to 25 m [82
ft]) are available in kit form with the Rescue Box. To install Rescue Box option:
IMPORTANT: The following Rescue Box installation steps describe suggested component locations and
procedures. The installer must determine the best component locations and installation method based on the
specific design of the truck's bucket and anchorage strength requirements discussed in Section 2 of this manual.
Read and understand all Steps below completely before starting installation. The U-bolt must be secured
through a member of sufficient strength within the bucket truck box.
Step 1. The upper Rescue Box cover (A) mounts to the bucket truck box with four M10 bolts and Nylock
nuts (B, not included). Use washers under the bolt heads and nuts. The position of the upper
Rescue Box cover on the bucket truck box shown in Figure 4 is approximate. (See "Important"
above.) Four bolt location holes are predrilled in the cover. Drill out these holes to accept M10
bolts if their location in the cover is acceptable, or drill new holes in the cover where they are
required for satisfactory cover installation. Use the cover as a template to mark drill holes in
the truck's bucket box. Install bolts, washers and Nylock nuts. Tighten all four nuts securely.
Step 2. Locate the installation position of the large U-bolt (C) so that it will not interfere with the lower
Rescue Box cover when the cover is locked with the retaining pin (F; see Step 3). Drill two
holes for the U-bolt through the upper Rescue Box cover and the bucket truck box. Assemble
the included hammerlock (D) so that the U-bolt is inserted through the top loop of the
hammerlock and the connector of the R520 unit is inserted through the lower loop. The U-bolt
is then loosely fastened to the Rescue Box cover and bucket truck with washers and nuts.
Step 3. When fully assembled, the stud (E) in the lower Rescue Box cover must align with the hole in
the upper Rescue Box cover and also protrude through the bucket truck box. Push the upper
Rescue Box cover away from the bucket truck box to allow a hole to be drilled in the bucket
truck box at the location of the stud. After drilling the hole, confirm that the stud in the lower
Rescue Box cover can pass through the upper Rescue Box cover and the side of the bucket
truck box. The retaining pin (F) must be inserted through the stud to secure the lower section
of the Rescue Box to the upper Rescue Box cover and bucket truck box.
