3.4.2 SET UP USING A TANK COLLAR
External Adjustable Tank Collar: The DBI-SALA Advanced Side Entry Systems External Tank Collar is
designed to attach the Side Entry System to the fl anges of manways. See Figure 5.
Step 1: Flange clamps, Figure 5 (1), are used to secure the center section to the manway. The clamp
depth can be adjusted. Use the two locking pins (2) to secure the clamp depth.
Step 2: Place the center section (3) in position on the manway. Secure the two fl ange clamp tie-blocks
with the supplied wrench.
Step 3: Center the section in manway using level indicators.
Step 4: The adjustment mount arms use the same clamping method. Raise the mount arm into position
(4). Use the locking pin to secure the arm in the chosen position. Make certain the pin is fully
inserted. The screw leg (5) can be tightened against the mount arm. The tie-block (6) can be
secured with supplied wrench (20.3
arm.
Step 5: Bolt the side entry system body (7) to the mounting collar. Secure the system body in the desired
position using the four bolts provided. Move from left to right as the bolts are inserted and
secured.
Step 6: Lower the side entry boom onto the boom post. Lower it down to the red indicator line on the
boom post (8) which indicates the highest point of the offset boom. Secure the boom post in the
correct height position using a 3/4 inch wrench.
Step 7: Pull the pin out of the arm. Line up the boom and replace the pin (9).
Step 8: Adjustments can be made to the winch mount bracket for alternative angles. Place the digital
winch on the quick-plate and secure it with the pin (10).
Step 9: Release approximately 1.5 meters of cable (11). Pull the quick release pins out to allow the cable
to slide through the arm without obstruction and to make necessary adjustments. When replacing
the quick release pins, pull the cable tight to make certain that it does not catch on the pins.
WARNING: Read and follow manufacturer's instructions for associated equipment (i.e. full body harness, self
retracting lifeline, etc.) used in your personal fall arrest system.
3.4.3 WINCH INSTALLATION
The Side Entry System may be equipped with up to two Digital Series Winches with various rope, cable,
drive ratio and capacity options. Applications involving Digital 200 and 300 winches, continuous feed rope
winch and/or winches with 9.5 mm (3/8 inch) or larger cable or rope may involve special brackets or parts.
Winches may be used for various entry/retrieval, rescue, work positioning or fall protection functions.
Consult product literature and specifi cation sheets in selecting winches to meet individual functional
and regulatory requirements.
Single Winch Installation (DBI-SALA Digital Series Winches only):
Single winch applications for entry/retrieval, rescue and work positioning requirements will have the winch
mounted to the structure using a fl at quick mount plate (1) as shown in Figure 6.
Step 1: (See Figure 6) To install the winch, remove pin (2). Slip the hook on the winch arm plate (3) onto
the pin on the quick mount plate (4). Align the holes on the two plates and replace pin (2).
Step 2: (See Figure 7) Crank the winch handle (5) to extend approximately 1.8 mm of lifeline while
maintaining tension on the lifeline at all times. Remove the two boom extension positioning pins
(6). Collapse the secondary boom (7) assembly to its shortest length. Thread the lifeline (8) over
one of the rear cable rollers (9). Push it through the center of the boom assembly.
Step 3: (See Figure 7) When the lifeline gets to the end of the boom, pull the snap hook out through the
cable exit opening, over the front cable roller (10) on the same side of the boom as at the rear,
and down through the cable guide eye (11).
