  • Page 4: System Requirements

    1.1 PURPOSE: The First-Man-Up system assists in installing and removing a DBI/SALA tie-off adaptor anchorage connector and lifeline in overhead installations. The tie-off adaptor and lifeline (or other device) must be approved for use with the First-Man-Up system by DBI/SALA. The First-Man-Up system may also be used for attaching a lifeline or other device to an overhead anchorage point.

    2,500 lbs. Each tie-off adaptor installation must be independently capable of sustaining these loads. 3.0 OPERATION AND USE W ARNING: Maintain a minimum clearance of ten feet between the First-Man-Up system and electrical power lines. 3.1 USING THE TIE-OFF ADAPTOR CONNECTOR TOOL: A.
  • Page 6 Figure 3 ATTACHING THE TIE-OFF ADAPTOR CONNECTOR TOOL: Step 1. Extend the strap arm to its full length by pivoting the strap arm until it locks into place. Ensure spring plunger full engages and locks strap arm into place. See Figure 3. See Descriptions section above for optional longer length strap arms.
  • Page 7 the spring plunger and release spring plunger. Ensure spring plunger locks into place on the strap arm. Step 3. To install the tie-off adaptor connector tool onto the extension pole, depress the snap buttons on each side of the tool insert and slide into the open end of the extension pole as shown in Figure 4.
  • Page 8 C. ATTACHING THE TIE-OFF ADAPTOR TO THE TIE-OFF ADAPTOR CONNECTOR TOOL: See Figure 6. With the strap arm fully extended, place the small D-ring into the groove on the end of the strap arm, with the narrow web facing up. Run the tie-off adaptor, with the narrow web against the strap arm, along the bottom of the strap arm and rotate the strap rod up until it locks in place.
  • Page 9 SECURING THE TIE-OFF ADAPTOR TO THE ANCHORAGE: Step 1. Extend the extension pole to the length required to reach the anchorage. The strap rod must remain in the locked position. Ensure the trip cord remains attached to the pin on the lever arm. Step 2.
  • Page 10 Step 3. Feed the hook on the tie-off adaptor connector tool through the large D-ring on the tie-off adaptor and hook onto the small D-ring as shown in Figure 8. Figure 8...
  • Page 11 Step 4. Pull the small D-ring through the large D-ring until the tie-off adaptor is tight against the anchorage as shown in Figure 9. Step 5. Retract the extension pole to the minimum length. Detach the trip cord from the tie-off adaptor connector tool and allow the trip cord to slowly retract into the cord reel.
  • Page 12 3.2 USING THE SNAP HOOK CONNECTOR TOOL: A. ATTACHING THE SNAP HOOK CONNECTOR TOOL: To install the snap hook connector tool onto the extension pole, depress the snap buttons on each side of the tool insert and slide into the open end of the extension pole.
  • Page 13 C. CONNECTING THE SNAP HOOK TO THE TIE-OFF ADAPTOR: Step 1. See Figure 11. To lock the snap hook open, pull the snap hook up, which causes the cam to push back the gate lock and the roller to open the gate. Continue pulling up until the cam rotates and seats under the gate lock, which locks the gate open.
  • Page 14 Step 3. To close the snap hook around the D-ring, release the snap hook from the connector tool, pull down slightly on the lifeline, twist the extension pole counter-clockwise while pushing up slightly. The snap hook should close over the D-ring and release from the connector tool. Do not pull down on the extension pole.
  • Page 15 3.3 USING THE SNAP HOOK CONNECTOR TOOL WITH A HARNESS MOUNTED SELF RETRACTING LIFELINE: When attaching a lifeline from a harness mounted self retracting lifeline, follow the steps listed in section 3.2, but, because there is significant tension on the lifeline (which may cause the snap hook to unintentionally disengage), wrap the lifeline two wraps around the extension pole to relieve the lifeline tension before attempting to attach the snap hook to the tie-off adaptor D-ring.
