both sides of the system. Bolt the Transport Wheels into place using the 1/2" hardware. Torque the hardware to 60
ft*lbs (81 N*m).
4.
Raise the Leveling Jacks: Raise each Leveling Jack again so that the wheels of the C-Frame FAS are resting on the
ground.

INSTALLING THE TOW BAR KIT (8518243): The Tow Bar Kit may be installed for transporting the C-Frame FAS using
the hitch of a vehicle. See Figure 10 for reference. To install the Tow Bar Kit:
1.
Center the Tow Bar on the Base: Center the Tow Bar on the C-Frame Base. If necessary, move the label plate of
the C-Frame FAS to either end of the system.
2.
Attach the Tow Bar to the Base: Fasten the clamps of the Tow Bar to the cross tubes of the C-Frame Base using
the 3/8" hardware. Torque the hardware to 45 ft*lbs (61 N*m).

USE
;
Consult your doctor if there is any reason to doubt your fitness to safely absorb the shock from a fall arrest or
suspension. Age and fitness seriously affect a worker's ability to withstand falls. Pregnant women or minors must not
use DBI-SALA equipment unless in an emergency situation.
;
Never exceed the Capacity maximums specified in Table 1. Exceeding the stated capacity could collapse or tip the
system, resulting in serious injury or death.
4.1
BEFORE EACH USE: Verify that your work area and Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) meet all criteria defined in
Section 2 and a formal Rescue Plan is in place. Inspect the C-Frame Fall Arrest System per the 'User' inspection points
defined on the "Inspection and Maintenance Log" (Table 2). If inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition, do not
use the C-Frame FAS. Remove the system from service and contact Capital Safety regarding replacement or repair.

Figure 3 illustrates the Safe Work Area for the C-Frame Fall Arrest System. The gray shading on the table
designates safe working distances where the angle of the Lifeline is less than or equal to 30° from vertical and the
Horizontal Distance (H) from the anchorage connection point is less than or equal to 6 ft (1.82 m). NEVER work at a
Horizontal Distance (H) and Vertical Distance (V) that results in a calculated Vertical Fall Distance (F) exceeding the
gray shaded values on the table in Figure 3.
;
Never use the C-Frame Fall Arrest System for Fall Protection without the Outriggers securely installed. Use of the
C-Frame without the Outriggers can tip the system resulting in injury or death.
4.2
FALL ARREST CONNECTIONS: Figure 11 illustrates the C-Frame and its Fall Arrest Connections. Users must wear
a Full Body Harness connected to the C-Frame Trolley Rail with a Fall Arrest subsystem (Self-Retracting Device). The
Trolley Rail is equipped with two Four-Wheel Trolleys that travel back-and-forth inside the Rail Halves. One Self-Retracting
Device (SRD) can be connected to each Four-Wheel Trolley. Connect the lifeline on the SRD to the back Dorsal D-Ring on
the Harness. A Tag Line can be attached to the SRD Lifeline and used to retrieve the lifeline for connection to the user's
harness.
;
When transferring between SRDs, always maintain 100% tie-off to ensure fall arrest protection in the event of a fall.
;
No more than one person, meeting the Capacity requirements specified in Table 1, shall be attached to the Glide
Four-Wheel Trolley.
;
Inappropriate or incompatible connections between components of the Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) may
result in serious injury or death. See Section 2 for details regarding connector compatibility and safe connections.

5.2
DEFECTS: If inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition, remove the C-Frame FAS from service immediately. Do
not attempt to repair the Fall Arrest System.
5.3
PRODUCT LIFE: The functional life of the C-Frame FAS is determined by work conditions and maintenance. As long as
the product passes inspection criteria, it may remain in service.
