Lifting Equipment to this Anchorage Connector.

1.2 STANDARDS: Your Anchorage Connector conforms to the national or regional standard(s) identiﬁ ed on the front cover

of these instructions. If this product is resold outside the original country of destination, the re-seller must provide these

instructions in the language of the country in which the product will be used.

1.3 SUPERVISION: Use of this equipment must be supervised by a Competent Person

1.4 TRAINING: This equipment must be installed and used by persons trained in its correct application. This manual is to

be used as part of an employee training program as required by ANSI and OSHA. It is the responsibility of the users and

installers of this equipment to ensure they are familiar with these instructions, trained in the correct care and use of this

equipment, and are aware of the operating characteristics, application limitations, and consequences of improper use of

this equipment.

1.5 RESCUE PLAN: When using this equipment and connecting subsystem(s), the employer must have a rescue plan and

the means at hand to implement and communicate that plan to users, authorized persons

, and rescuers

. A trained, on-

site rescue team is recommended. Team members should be provided with the equipment and techniques to perform a

successful rescue. Training should be provided on a periodic basis to ensure rescuer proﬁ ciency.

1.6 INSPECTION FREQUENCY:

The Anchorage Connector shall be inspected by the user before each use and, additionally,

by a competent person other than the user at intervals of no longer than one year.

Inspection procedures are described in

the “Inspection and Maintenance Log”. Results of each Competent Person inspection should be recorded on copies of the

“Inspection and Maintenance Log”.

1.7 AFTER A FALL: If the Anchorage Connector is subjected to the forces of arresting a fall, it must be removed from service

immediately, clearly marked “DO NOT USE”, and then destroyed.

2.0 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

2.1 ANCHORAGE: Anchorage structure requirements vary with the fall protection application. Structure on which the

Anchorage Connector is placed or mounted must meet the Anchorage Strength speciﬁ cations deﬁ ned in Table 1.

2.2 PERSONAL FALL ARREST SYSTEM: Figure 1 illustrates the application of this Anchorage Connector. Personal Fall Arrest

Systems (PFAS) used with the system must meet applicable Fall Protection standards, codes, and requirements. The PFAS

must incorporate a Full Body Harness and limit Arresting Force to the following values:

Maximum Arresting Force Free Fall

PFAS with Shock Absorbing Lanyard 1,800 lb (8 kN)

Refer to the instruction(s) included with your

Lanyard or SRD for Free Fall limitations.

PFAS with Self Retracting Device (SRD) 1,800 lb (8 kN)

2.3 FALL PATH AND SRD LOCKING SPEED: A clear path is required to assure positive locking of an SRD. Situations which

do not allow for an unobstructed fall path should be avoided. Working in confined or cramped spaces may not allow the

body to reach sufficient speed to cause the SRD to lock if a fall occurs. Working on slowly shifting material, such as sand

or grain, may not allow enough speed buildup to cause the SRD to lock.

2.4 HAZARDS: Use of this equipment in areas with environmental hazards may require additional precautions to prevent

injury to the user or damage to the equipment. Hazards may include, but are not limited to: heat, chemicals, corrosive

environments, high voltage power lines, explosive or toxic gases, moving machinery, sharp edges, or overhead materials

that may fall and contact the user or Personal Fall Arrest System.

2.5 FALL CLEARANCE: Figure 3 illustrates the components of a Fall Arrest. There must be sufﬁ cient Fall Clearance (FC)

to arrest a fall before the user strikes the ground or other obstruction. Clearance is affected by a number of factors

including: Anchorage Location, (A) Lanyard Length, (B) Lanyard Deceleration Distance or SRD Maximum Arrest Distance,

subsystem for speciﬁ cs regarding Fall Clearance calculation.

1 Fall Arrest System: A collection of Fall Protection Equipment conﬁ gured to arrest a free fall.

2 Fall Restraint System: A collection of Fall Protection Equipment conﬁ gured to prevent the person’s center of gravity from reaching a fall hazard.

3 Competent Person: One who is capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards in the surroundings or working conditions which are unsanitary,

hazardous, or dangerous to employees, and who has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them.

4 Authorized Person: A person assigned by the employer to perform duties at a location where the person will be exposed to a fall hazard.

5 Rescuer: Person or persons other than the rescue subject acting to perform an assisted rescue by operation of a rescue system.

6 Inspection Frequency: Extreme working conditions (harsh environments, prolonged use, etc.) may require increasing the frequency of competent person

inspections.

2.6 SWING FALLS: Swing Falls occur when the anchorage point is not directly above the point where a fall occurs (see Figure

4). The force of striking an object in a swing fall may cause serious injury or death. Minimize swing falls by working as directly

below the anchorage point as possible. Do not permit a swing fall if injury could occur. Swing falls will signiﬁ cantly increase the

clearance required when a Self-Retracting Device or other variable length connecting subsystem is used.

2.7 COMPONENT COMPATIBILITY: 3M equipment is designed for use with 3M approved components and subsystems

only. Substitutions or replacements made with non-approved components or subsystems may jeopardize compatibility of

equipment and may affect the safety and reliability of the complete system.

2.8 CONNECTOR COMPATIBILITY: Connectors are considered to be compatible with connecting elements when they

have been designed to work together in such a way that their sizes and shapes do not cause their gate mechanisms to

inadvertently open regardless of how they become oriented. Contact 3M if you have any questions about compatibility.

Connectors (hooks, carabiners, and D-rings) must be capable of supporting at least 5,000 lbs. (22.2 kN). Connectors

must be compatible with the anchorage or other system components. Do not use equipment that is not compatible.

Non-compatible connectors may unintentionally disengage (see Figure 5). Connectors must be compatible in size, shape,

and strength. If the connecting element to which a snap hook or carabiner attaches is undersized or irregular in shape, a

situation could occur where the connecting element applies a force to the gate of the snap hook or carabiner (A). This force

may cause the gate to open (B), allowing the snap hook or carabiner to disengage from the connecting point (C).

Self-locking snap hooks and carabiners are required by ANSI Z359 and OSHA.

2.9 MAKING CONNECTIONS: Snap hooks and carabiners used with this equipment must be self-locking. Ensure all

connections are compatible in size, shape and strength. Do not use equipment that is not compatible. Ensure all

connectors are fully closed and locked.

3M connectors (snap hooks and carabiners) are designed to be used only as speciﬁ ed in each product’s user’s instructions.

See Figure 6 for examples of inappropriate connections. Do not connect snap hooks and carabiners:

A. To a D-ring to which another connector is attached.

B. In a manner that would result in a load on the gate. Large throat snap hooks should not be connected to standard

size D-rings or similar objects which will result in a load on the gate if the hook or D-ring twists or rotates, unless the

snap hook complies is equipped with a 3,600 lb (16 kN) gate. Check the marking on your snap hook to verify that it

is appropriate for your application.

C. In a false engagement, where features that protrude from the snap hook or carabiner catch on the anchor, and

without visual conﬁ rmation seems to be fully engaged to the anchor point.

D. To each other.

E. Directly to webbing or rope lanyard or tie-back (unless the manufacturer’s instructions for both the lanyard and

connector speciﬁ cally allows such a connection).

F. To any object which is shaped or dimensioned such that the snap hook or carabiner will not close and lock, or that

roll-out could occur.

G. In a manner that does not allow the connector to align properly while under load.

3.0 INSTALLATION



Installation of the DBI-SALA Swiveling Roof Anchor must be supervised by a Qualiﬁ ed Person

. The installation must

be certiﬁ ed by a Competent Person

as meeting the criteria for a Certiﬁ ed Anchorage, or that it is capable of supporting

the potential forces that could be encountered during a fall.

3.1 PLANNING: Plan the fall protection system prior to installation of the Swiveling Roof Anchor. Account for all factors

that may affect safety before, during and after a fall. Consider all requirements, limitations and speciﬁ cations deﬁ ned in

Section 2 and Table 1.

Roof Anchor Planning: The installation of where to place the Swiveling Roof Anchor requires careful planning and

adherance to the speciﬁ cations of Figure 7. Any time the lifeline passes over the peak or other obstacle, caution regarding

wear is required.

• Placement should be 12 in. (0.3 m) lower than the roof peak, if a sloped roof, and 6 ft. (1.8 m) from any exposed

roof edge.

• Do not install on any facia board, eaves, gables, or other unsupported structure.

• Multiple anchors should be installed at 8 ft. (2.4 m) spacing along roof ridge.

• This anchor is not intended to be perminantly installed or designed to prevent roof leakage.

3.2 INSTALLING THE SWIVELING ROOF ANCHOR: The Swiveling Roof Anchor can be installed on roofs meeting the

anchorage requirements speciﬁ ed in Table 1. See Figure 1 for the dimensions of width (B) and height (A). Figures 8-10

illustrate the installation of the Swiveling Roof Anchor on various roof types. The Swiveling Roof Anchor can be installed

on wood roof framing, steel Z-Purlin, and steel decking types of roofs.

Wood Roof Framing Attachment: The placement of the anchor must be in framing members that are free of cracks,

large knots, splits, or any other defects that would impair the strength of the wood. It must be installed after the roof

sheathing is attached but never attached over existing shingles or other rooﬁ ng materials. See Figure 8 for reference.

1. Position the anchor so that eight of the screw holes are centered over a framing member that is a minimum of 2 x 6

and maximum of 24 inches (.6 m) on center.

2. Install eight 1/4-14 x 2 1/2+ lag screws through holes centered on the framing member. Use only the lag screws that

are included with the anchor. If it is suspected that splitting will occur, predrilling is required. This predrilling should

be a 3/16 in. diameter hole that is 2-2 1/2 in. (5-6.4 cm) deep.

Steel Z-Purlin Attachment: The placement of the anchor must be in Z-purlins a minimum of 16 gauge (.064 in.)(.16

cm) or thicker metal that is in good condition and free of any defects that would impair the strength of the metal. It must

be installed after the roof decking is secured to the Z-purlins. See Figure 9 for reference.

1. Place the required wood spacers (provided by the user) into the troughs of the metal decking material so the spacers

ﬁ ll the trough shape and provide an even surface to attach the anchor.

2. Position the anchor on the roof decking so that eight of the screw holes in the anchor line up with the center of the

top ﬂ ange of the Z-purlin. Install eight 1/4-14 self-drilling screws through the holes centered on the Z-purlin ﬂ ange.

3. All of the self-drilling screws must engage the center of the purlin top ﬂ ange, and long enough to have a minimum of

ﬁ ve threads protruding through the purlin ﬂ ange.

Steel Decking Attachment: The placement of the anchor must be in decking a minimum of 22 gauge (.030 inch)(.08

cm) or thicker metal that is in good condition and free of any defects that would impair the strength of the metal. It must

not span more than 6 ft. (1.83 m) between supports and must not be used until the decking is in place and fully secured.

See Figure 10 for reference.

1. Place the required wood spacers (provided by the user) into the troughs of the metal decking material so the spacers

ﬁ ll the trough shape and provide an even surface to attach the anchor.

2. Position the anchor on the roof decking so that eight of the screw holes in the anchor line up with the center of the

decking rib. Install sixteen 1/4-14 x 2 1/2 inch self-drilling screws, eight in each direction.

3. All of the self-drilling screws must engage the decking and be long enough to have a minimum of ﬁ ve threads

protruding through the decking material.

4. All sixteen holes in the base plate must be used for mounting the anchor to the steel decking.

3.3 INSTALLING THE SRL-LE: Figure 11 illustrates mounting of Smart Lock Leading Edge Self-Retracting Lifelines (A) or

Ultra-Lok Leading Edge Self-Retracting Lifelines (B) in the Swiveling Roof Anchor. To install the SRL-LE in the Swivel

Bracket of the Swiveling Roof Anchor:
