2. Installation of the AC-R Series Anchor Clamp for Round Manways:
a. Choose a location where installation will provide suitable proximity to the work area yet minimize obstructions during
use and in the event a rescue is necessary. Select a Round Manway that possesses dimensions which fall within
the range(s) tabulated below;
! WARNING ! - The AC-R Series Anchor Clamp exhibits construction that allows it to extend beyond
the dimensions of the "Maximum Manway Flange Outside Diameter". This is made possible in order to
facilitate the installation of the device. As a result of this construction the AC-R Series clamp CAN physi-
cally mount on Manway structures which fall outside of the tabulated dimensions (refer to Table #5a).
However, in order to retain product safety and compliance, the AC-R series clamp must only be installed
on round manways which fall within the ranges published within Table #5a.
• When utilized as a Fall Arrest Tower Anchorage: Install The clamp so that the tower to be utilized will clear all
obstructions yet provide full access to all required work areas within the towers's safe working radius.
**Once a location and manway have been chosen, Ensure that the Manway as well as the sup-
porting structure to which the clamp will be attached is capable of withstanding all of the forces
imparted to it by the proof-loaded system (Refer to Section 5.1 of this manual).
