Important - Capital Safety DBI SALA 8561233 Manuel

Dual Winch Installation (DBI-SALA Digital Series Winches only):
For applications involving 2 Digital Winches the winches are mounted to the system as shown in Figure 8.
Installation of the secondary winch is the same as in the single winch application. Extra care must be taken
to ensure that the lifelines are not crossed over inside the secondary boom assembly.
Step 1: The fi rst winch (1) is installed as previously shown in Figure 6.
Step 2: The second winch (2) is installed using the same procedure. This second winch set up, shown in
Figure 8, requires the use of an additional bracket (3, sold separately) to correctly position the
secondary lower winch for routing the lifeline.
3.5 RESCUE
The Side Entry System can be used in a rescue/retrieval situation so an injured worker can be moved to a
safe environment.
The Side Entry System 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.
