Page 4: Description Of The Dyna-Glide™Climbing Protection Systems
A properly installed, used and maintained Dyna-Glide system will help to stabilize a climber at a work position, will permit restricted travel of the climber along the rail, and will automatically stop an accidental fall within inches. -
Page 5: Rail Sections
Description of the Dyna-Glide™Climbing Protection Systems Rail Sections The rail sections are made of either hot galvanized steel or stainless steel. They have a C-profile cross section with rectangular cut outs (slots) at 5.51 inch (140 mm) intervals for coupling adjacent rail sections together and for connection of the rail sections to mounting assemblies. - Page 6 Description of the Dyna-Glide™Climbing Protection Systems Fig. 2 Rail connector assembly (P/N 506271.

Fixed ladders are rigidly anchored to other structures. The ladder normally has rungs with diameter up to 1 1/4 inches (32 mm) and width between side rails of 12-18 inches (305 mm - 457 mm) To comply with USA Federal OSHA requirements, rungs must be a minimum of 16 inches wide.

Page 12: Dyna-Glide™ Fall Arrester
The Dyna-Glide fall arrester can be used on rail, which is installed either vertically or horizontally and it will travel along curved rail sections provided the rail curve radius is not too small. -
Page 13: End Stop Assemblies
End Stop Assemblies End stops prevent the Dyna-Glide fall arrester from accidentally slipping out of the top or bottom end of a string of rail sections. The end stops are available in either gated or ungated models. The gated models have a pivotable gate, which permits the climber to remove the fall arrester from the rail in a controlled way. - Page 14 Description of the Dyna-Glide™Climbing Protection Systems Fig. 11 End Stop Assemblies (Stainless) - Top End Stop (Gated) (P/N 506274) Rail section End stop assembly Fig. 12 End Stop Assemblies (Stainless) - Bottom End Stop (Gated) (P/N 506275) Rail section End stop assembly Fig.

Page 15: Body Supports
This full body harness has the benefit of serving a wide range of climber needs in addition to attachment to the fall arrester. A variety of full body harnesses may be suitable for use in the Dyna-Glide system provided they have a compatible means of frontal connection to the fall arrester which is located between the waist and sternum of the climber. - Page 16 CAUTION When more than one turntable is installed in a Dyna-Glide Rail System, extreme care must be taken to be sure that the fall arrester cannot be rotated so as to have it re-enter a vertical rail section in the wrong direc- tion and thereby not be able to block a fall.
- Page 17 Description of the Dyna-Glide™Climbing Protection Systems 1.7.4 Roundabout Assembly The roundabout is a device consisting of a trolley that runs on two parallel horizontal rods. The trolley is vertically mounted and abuts two adjacent vertical rail sections. The trolley has spring - loaded pins, which permit the fall arrester to be slipped into it and captured until intentionally removed.

Page 18: Planning The Installation
Planning the Installation Planning the Installation In the preceding section of this manual we described the many components of the Dyna-Glide system. Before these can be assembled into a system the requirements which the system must satisfy have to be determined. -

The wire must not be removed until the next rail section is properly connected. This helps to remind the climbing installer which end is “up”. It also prevents the Dyna-Glide fall arrester from slipping out of the top rail and falling to the ground. Note:... -
Page 21: Assembly Sequence
Assembly Sequence Assembly of the Dyna-Glide system must start at the bottom of the run and be built upward toward the top. The first rail section installed should be the one that contains the bottom end stop. Be certain the notches on the rail point upward (see Figure 1, Item 3) and that the bottom end stop is installed in its proper orien- tation. -
Page 22: Coupling Rails And Mounting To Ladder Rungs
“alligator” rung clamps. However, rails may occasionally need a unique mounting assembly. In such instances, contact MSA. Special mounting assemblies are not included in this manual. When attaching a rung (alligator) clamp, hold the rail against the front of ladder rungs and align the clamp on the back of the rung with teeth engaging the rung. -
Page 23: End Stop Installation
Then fix the footrest in place with the bolts, lockwashers and nuts. Torque the nuts per section 3.6. Make a final check to be sure the pedestal properly folds upward and has sufficient clearances. See Figure 14. Dyna-Glide™... -
Page 24: 3.10 Final Inspection Of Rail Assembly
Pass the fall arrester over the entire rail string to be sure it travels smoothly. In particular, check to be sure it passes the joints of rail sections without hanging up. Be sure all rail sections have the notch opening up. Otherwise the fall arrester will not stop a fall. Dyna-Glide™... -
Page 25: Use Of Dyna-Glide System
Use of Dyna-Glide System Body Support Use the system with the proper body support. We recommend the use of the MSA harness with connection to the chest D-ring. However, the system may be used with another suitable harness with a D-ring between waist and sternum level. - Page 26 (e.g. a shock absorbing lanyard or a rope grab and installed lifeline). Always anchor and connect the body support to such equipment before attempting to disconnect from the Dyna-Glide system. Remove the fall arrester from the rail when all work is complete. It should not be left in the weather or for someone else to use without proper instruction or authorization.
-
Page 27: Inspection And Maintenance
Use an auxiliary fall arrest system and work positioning lanyard when loosening rail sections for adjust- ment. Do not rely on the Dyna-Glide fall arrester during such operations. Check for corrosion. If excessive corrosion is evident, replace the rail section. -
Page 28: Inspection Of Fall Arrester
Check the spring pin and cam stop pin (inside the body) and the cam pivot pin. If damaged, altered or missing, remove the fall arrester from use and return to MSA for service. Check for excessive corrosion and remove from use if evident. -
