Werner A510300 Quick Start Manual

Reusable Swivel Concrete Anchor

WARNING:

Compliant fall protection equipment must only
be used as it was designed and adhere to the hierarchy of controls as
discussed in ANSI Z359.2. Users MUST read and follow all user instructions
provided with the product. Before using a fall arrest system, users must be
trained in the safe use of the system, as required by OSHA 29 CFR 1910.30
and 1926.503, or local safety regulations. Misuse or failure to heed
these warnings and instructions may result in injury or even
death.
WORK SAFE! WORK SMART!
I
mportant
Before use, the user must read and understand these User Instructions. Keep
these User Instructions for reference.
WARNING:
1. Failure to follow all instructions and limitations on the use of the
Reusable Swivel Concrete Anchor may result in serious personal
injury or death.
2. Minors, pregnant women and anyone with a history of either back or
neck problems should not use this equipment.
3. Do not use the Reusable Swivel Concrete Anchor without proper
training from a "competent person" as defined by OSHA 29 CFR
1910.140(b) and 1926.32(f).
4. Not all fall protection components are rated for the same user weight
capacity. Only use components rated for the same weight capacity.
5. Caution must be taken when using the Reusable Swivel Concrete
Anchor or other fall protection equipment near moving machinery,
electrical hazards, sharp edges, or abrasive surfaces. Contact with
these elements may cause equipment failure, personal injury, or
death.
6. Remove any surface contamination such as concrete, stucco, roofing
material or foreign material that could accelerate cutting or abrasion
or affect the performance of the anchorage connector before
installing.
7. Do not expose the Reusable Swivel Concrete Anchor to chemicals or
harsh solutions which may have a harmful effect.
8. Personal fall arrest systems, including the Reusable Swivel Concrete
Anchor, must be inspected prior to each use for wear, damage and
other deterioration. Defective components must be immediately
removed from service in accordance with the requirements of OSHA
29 CFR 1910.140 and 1926.502.
9. Striking objects horizontally due to the pendulum effect of a swing
fall may cause serious injury or death.
10. Do not use if inspection reveals any defect, wear, damage,
deterioration, inadequate maintenance, or unsafe condition.
11. Do not use any equipment that has been subjected to the forces of
arresting a fall or if any part of the Reusable Swivel Concrete Anchor
is damaged or non-functional.
12. Only Werner Co., or persons or entities authorized by Werner Co., may
make repairs or alterations to the equipment.
13. Alterations or misuse may result in serious personal injury or death.
p
urpose
Werner Reusable Swivel Concrete Anchors are designed to function as an
interface between the anchorage and travel restraint, work positioning, fall
arrest or rescue system.

1. Before using a personal fall arrest system, employees must be trained
in accordance with the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.30 and
1926.503 in the safe use of the system and its components.
2. The complete fall arrest system must be planned (including all
components, calculating fall clearance, and swing fall) before using.
3. Users must have a rescue plan, and the means at hand to implement it,
that provides for the prompt rescue of the user in the event of a fall, or
assures that the user is able to rescue themselves. A fall over an edge
may require special rescue measures.

4. Store the Reusable Swivel Concrete Anchor in a cool, dry, clean
environment, out of direct sunlight, when not in use.
5. After a fall occurs on the system, immediately remove from service for
Inspection by a competent person.
6. Werner Co. will provide design information upon request.
7. Field serviceability testing is not required and is not recommended to be
performed by the user.
u L
se ImItatIons
The Reusable Swivel Concrete Anchor has been tested in compliance with
the requirements of ANSI/ASSE Z359.7 as a Type A anchorage connector.
Compliance and testing covers only the hardware and does not extend to the
anchorage and substrate to which the anchors are attached.
1. PLAN: Establish a plan as to where the Reusable Swivel Concrete Anchor
will be installed and when during the construction process.
2. CONCRETE SPECIFICATION: The Reusable Swivel Concrete Anchor
must only be mounted in minimum 3000-psi concrete.
3. ANCHORAGE: The Reusable Swivel Concrete Anchor must only be
used on structures capable of supporting loads applied in all directions
permitted by the fall arrest system of at least: A) no less than 5,000
pounds (22.2 kN) for non-certified anchorages; or B) at least two times
the maximum arresting force for certified anchorages; C) according to
ANSI Z359.6, Specifications and Design Requirements for Active Fall
Protection Systems or when strength is unknown.
4. SUBSTRATE: Concrete substrates to which the Reusable Swivel Concrete
Anchors are attached must be in good condition and free of cracks, holes,
air pockets, holes, or defects that may weaken the substrate. Concrete
substrates must be secured to the building and be able to support
anchorage requirements. Only connect the Reusable Swivel Concrete
Anchor according to the instructions.
5. Do not attach Reusable Swivel Concrete Anchor to deteriorated concrete,
unstable structure, partially constructed substrates, unknown concrete, or
structure that will not qualify as an anchorage.
6. DIRECTION OF LOADING: Reusable Swivel Concrete Anchor can be
loaded in all ranges illustrated.
LOAD
ACCEPTABLE
7. CONNECTION: Only one travel restraint, work positioning, fall arrest, or
rescue system may be attached.
8. EXTREME TEMPERATURE: The Reusable Swivel Concrete Anchor
is designed to be used in temperatures ranging from -30°F to +130°F
(-34°C to +54°C). Protection should be provided when used near welding,
metal cutting or similar activities. Contact Werner Co. with any questions
concerning extreme temperature environments.
