PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Figure 1 illustrates the 3M™ DBI-SALA®Flexiguard™ Modular Jib System M200 Adjustable Jib Boom. The M200 Jib System

is used to to provide an adjustable Fall Arrest anchor point for one or two workers. These instructions cover use of the

M200 Jib Boom, but use of the M200 Jib System requires use of a Jib Base (sold separately) in addition to the Jib Boom. For a

list of compatible Jib Base models, see Figure 1.

Figure 2 illustrates components of the M200 Jib Boom. See Table 1 for Component Specications.

The Fixed Upright Assembly (A) serves as the main body of the Jib Boom. The Gusset (C) braces the Rail Assembly (D), which

lets the user move within the established work area. The Connection Eye (E) secures an SRD as a connection point for the user.

The Lifting Ring (F) is used to secure a chain or web strap for transporting the system. For B2 Jib Boom models, the Adjustment

Channel (M) enables height adjustment of the Jib Boom. For B1 Jib Boom models, the Adjustable Upright Assembly (B) enables

height adjustment in coordination with the Adjustment Winch (G). The cable of the Adjustment Winch is connected to the Jib

Boom through a series of pulleys, including the Lower Pulley of the Locking Assembly (I) and Upper Pulley (J). The Rotation

Handle (H) allows for rotation of the Jib Boom after placement. The Rotation Pin (K) may be engaged to prevent rotation of the

Jib Boom. The Rotation Stops (N) may be used to limit Jib Boom rotation when the Rotation Pin is not engaged. For B1 Jib Boom

models, the Transportation Pin (L) is used to secure the Jib Boom during transportation.

1.0 PRODUCT APPLICATION

1.1 PURPOSE: Jib Booms are designed to provide anchorage connection points for a Fall Protection system.

1.2 STANDARDS: Your Jib Boom conforms to the national or regional standard(s) identi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: Installation of this equipment must be supervised by a Qualied Person1. Use of this equipment must be

supervised by a Competent Person2.

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 national, regional, or local standards. 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 persons3, and rescuers4. 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 prociency.

1.6 AFTER A FALL: If this equipment is subjected to fall arrest or impact forces, remove it from service immediately. Clearly

tag it “DO NOT USE”. See Section 5 for more information.

2.0 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

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

Anchorage System is placed or mounted must meet the Anchorage specications dened in Table 1.

2.2 FALL ARREST SYSTEM: Fall Arrest systems used with the Jib Boom must meet applicable Fall Protection standards,

codes, and requirements. Refer to the instructions included with your connecting subsystem for additional fall

requirements. The Fall Arrest system must incorporate a Full Body Harness and limit Arresting Force to the values

specied in Table 1.

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: There must be sucient clearance below the user to arrest a fall before the user strikes the ground

or other obstruction. Fall Clearance is dependent on the following factors:

• Deceleration Distance • Worker Height • Elevation of Anchorage Connector

• Free Fall Distance • Movement of Harness Attachment Element • Connecting Subsystem Length

See the instruction manual of your connecting subsystem for specics regarding Fall Clearance calculation.

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

3). 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 signicantly

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

2.7 SHARP EDGES: Avoid working where Lifeline or Lanyard components of the Fall Arrest system can contact or abrade

against unprotected sharp edges or abrasive surfaces (see Figure 4). Where contact with a sharp edge or abrasive surface

is unavoidable, cover the edge with protective material (A).

2.8 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 aect the safety and reliability of the complete system.

2.9 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 must comply with EN 362. 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).

1 Qualied Person: A person with a recognized degree, certicate or professional standing, or who by extensive knowledge, training and

experience has successfully demonstrated his ability to solve or resolve problems relating to Fall Protection systems to the extent required by

OSHA or other applicable federal, state, and local regulations.

2 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.

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

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

2.10 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 speci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 16 kN (3,600 lbf) 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 con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 speci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

3.1 PLANNING: Plan your Fall Protection system prior to installation of the Jib Boom. Account for all factors that may aect

your safety before, during and after a fall. Consider all requirements, limitations, and specications dened in Section 2

and Table 1.

3.2 PLACING THE JIB BOOM: Before the Jib Boom can be used, it must be secured to a Jib Base. See Figure 7 for

reference. To secure the Jib Boom to a Jib Base:

(B), and secure the handle by reinserting the Locking Pin (C).

6. To lock rotation of the Jib Boom, position the Locking Pin (A) over one of the holes on the Jib Base and then engage

the Locking Pin to secure the Jib Boom. Alternatively, the Locking Pin may be kept retracted to allow the Jib Boom to

rotate freely. Rotation Stops (B) may be inserted to limit System Rotation (X) within a desired range.

3.3 TRANSPORTING AFTER PLACEMENT: The Jib System may be moved after placement on some Jib Base models. For

more information, see the manufacturer instructions for your Jib Base model.

3.4 ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE JIB BOOM: After securing the Jib Boom to the Jib Base, you may adjust the

height of the Jib Boom. Height adjustment procedures vary based on your Jib Boom model. See Figure 1 for Jib Boom

identication.

• B1 MODELS: This series of M200 Jib Boom models is adjustable through means of an Adjustment Winch attached to

the base of the Jib Boom. See Figure 8 for reference.

INSTALLING THE ADJUSTMENT WINCH CABLE:

;This series of the M200 Jib Boom is shipped with the cable of the Adjustment Winch already routed through the

M200 Jib Boom. If the cable is already routed, skip to “Using the Adjustment Winch”.

1. Pay out the Cable (B) of the Adjustment Winch (A) by rotating the handle counterclockwise.

2. Extend the cable slowly as you thread it rst through the Upper Pulley (A), then around the Lower Pulley (B) of

the Locking Assembly. From the Lower Pulley, guide the cable back towards the Upper Pulley, then attach the cable

thimble to the 1/2 in. Anchor Bolt (C) between the spacer washers. Torque hardware to 60 ft-lb (81 N-m).

USING THE ADJUSTMENT WINCH:

3. After securing the cable through the system, the System Height (H) of the Jib Boom may be adjusted by turning

the handle of the Adjustment Winch. By turning the handle clockwise (R), the Jib Boom is raised. By turning the

handle counterclockwise (L), the Jib Boom is lowered. The height of the Jib Boom may be set anywhere between

the Side Plates (X) at the top and bottom of the Jib Boom. The Jib Boom may be raised until the Side Plates touch

at the top of the system.

• B2 MODELS: This series of M200 Jib Boom models is adjustable through means of the Adjustment Channel attached

to the Fixed Upright Assembly. See Figure 9 for reference. To adjust the height of the Jib Boom:

1. Remove the two Channel Fasteners (A) from the Adjustment Channel (B).

2. Set the Jib Boom to the desired height. Each hole in the Adjustment Channel adjusts the height of the system by

6.0 in. (15 cm).

3. Fasten the two Channel Fasteners (A) to secure the Adjustment Channel at its new height. Torque 3/4 in. hardware

to 130 ft-lb (176 N-m).

3.5 CONNECTING A SELF-RETRACTING DEVICE (SRD): To connect to the M200 Jib System, the user must rst connect

an SRD to the Jib Boom. See Figure 11 for reference. To connect an SRD to the Jib Boom:

1. Secure the top connector of your SRD (A) to the Connection Eye (B) on the Rail Assembly.

2. Secure the end connector of your SRD (B) to the D-Ring (A) on your Full Body Harness.

3. When using the SRD with the Jib System, stay within the Safe Working Area (A) of the Jib Boom. The user should

remain as directly below the Connection Eye as possible when using the system. For more information on safe work

area, see Section 4.

3.6 INSTALLATION AND USE OF THE FORK POCKET KIT (8530912): For B1 Jib Boom models, a Fork Pocket kit (sold

separately) may be secured to the Jib Boom to facilitate easy transport without use of a Jib Base or the D-Ring atop the

Gusset. See Figure 10 for reference. To connect the Fork Pockets to the Jib Boom and transport:

1. Remove the Fasteners (A) from the Steel Plates (B) at the base of the Upright Assembly.

2. Place the Fork Pockets (C) on either side of the Jib Boom, ush against the Steel Plates (B) with their mounting holes

aligned. Insert the new Fasteners (A) to secure, threading through both the Fork Pockets and both the Steel Plates.

Torque 5/8 in. hardware to 75 ft-lb (102 N-m).

3. Verify that the Fork Pockets are securely installed. The Tri-Screws located on the bottom of the forks should be facing

downward.

4. To transport, insert the blades of the forklift through the Fork Pockets. Raise the forklift blades to the top of the Fork

Pocket tubes.

;When using the Fork Pockets, always approach from the front of the Jib Boom.

;Use caution when inserting the blades of the forklift through the Fork Pockets. Moving parts may create pinch

points and cause injury.

6. Tighten the Tri-Screws (A) at the base of each Fork Pocket tube to secure each tube to the forklift blades.

7. Verify that the Jib Boom is secured by its Fork Pockets to the forklift. Secure the Fork Pockets to the forklift by

attaching a Chain (A) from each Fork Pocket Connection Ring (B) to the forklift.

4.0 USE

4.1 BEFORE EACH USE: Verify that your work area and Fall Protection system meet all criteria dened in these instructions.

Verify that a formal Rescue Plan is in place. Inspect the system per the ‘User’ inspection points dened in the

“Inspection

and Maintenance Log” (Table 2).

If inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition, or if there is any doubt about its

condition for safe use, remove the system from service immediately. Clearly tag the system “DO NOT USE”. See Section 5

for more information.

4.2 SAFE WORKING AREA: The Safe Working Area of the Jib Boom does not extend beyond the length of the Jib Boom

itself. See Figure 11.3 for reference. When using the M200 Jib Boom, the user should remain within the indicated Safe

Working Area (A). Leaving the Safe Working Area to an Outside Location (B) is dangerous and could result in serious

injury or death. When working on either side of the M200 Jib System, it is recommended that the user keep the anchor

point as directly overhead as possible. This will minimize the potential for swing falls and any fall distance, in addition to

ensuring the safety of a second user, should the rst user fall.

When two users are attached to the system, it is recommended that rotation of the Jib Boom is locked with the rotation

pin. See Section 3.2. Each user must stay within 30 degrees of either side of the anchor point and never work past the

end of the rail.

5.0 INSPECTION

;After product has been removed from service, it may not be returned to service until a Competent Person conrms in

writing that it is acceptable to do so.

5.1 INSPECTION FREQUENCY: The product shall be inspected before each use by the user and, additionally, by a

Competent Person other than the user at intervals of no longer than one year. A higher frequency of equipment use

and harsher conditions may require increasing the frequency of Competent Person inspections. The frequency of these

inspections should be determined by the Competent Person per the specic conditions of the worksite.

5.2 INSPECTION PROCEDURES: Inspect this product per the procedures listed in the “Inspection and Maintenance Log”.

Documentation of each inspection should be maintained by the owner of this equipment. An inspection and maintenance

log should be placed near the product or be otherwise easily accessible to users. It is recommended that the product is

marked with the date of next or last inspection.

5.3 DEFECTS: If the Jib Boom cannot be returned to service because of an existing defect or unsafe condition, then either

destroy the system or contact 3M or a 3M-authorized service center about possible repair.

5.4 PRODUCT LIFE: The functional life of the Jib Boom is determined by work conditions and maintenance. As long as the

product passes inspection criteria, it may remain in service.

6.0 MAINTENANCE, SERVICE, and STORAGE

6.1 CLEANING: Periodically clean the metal components of the Jib Boom with a soft brush, warm water, and a mild soap

solution. Ensure parts are thoroughly rinsed with clean water.

6.2 SERVICE: Only 3M or parties authorized in writing by 3M may make repairs to this equipment.

6.3 STORAGE: If applicable, store the Jib Boom and associated Fall Protection equipment in a cool, dry, clean environment

out of direct sunlight. Avoid areas where chemical vapors may exist. Thoroughly inspect components after extended

storage.

;Some Jib Base models used with the M200 Jib System are permanent. The Jib Boom may be removed from these

Jib Bases for storage or transport, but the Jib Base will have to remain.
