Guardian Fall Protection CB-1-W Instruction Manual page 6

4. A Qualified Person must determine that structure to which CB-1-W is to be installed is rated to withstand
minimum required loads. There are no minimum or maximum spacing requirements for CB-1-W Anchors,
provided structure is of sufficient strength.
5. CB-1-W must be installed by an American Welding Society (AWS) certified welder in accordance with
all applicable welding regulations.
• Fillet weld requirement: ¼"
• Minimum beam flange width: 3½"
6. CB-1-W is rated for loading in any direction
provided it is installed as prescribed. Suitable
for use in HLL applications.
Maintenance, Cleaning, and Storage
If CB-1-W fails inspection in any way, immediately remove it from service, and contact Guardian to inquire
about its return or repair. Field serviceability testing is not required, and should not be done by the end user.
Cleaning after use is important for maintaining the safety and longevity of CB-1-W. Remove all dirt, corrosives,
and contaminants from CB-1-W before and after each use. If CB-1-W cannot be cleaned with plain water, use
mild soap and water, then rinse and wipe dry. NEVER clean CB-1-W with corrosive substances.
When not in use, store equipment where it will not be affected by heat, light, excessive moisture, chemicals,
or other degrading elements.
Inspection
Prior to EACH use, inspect CB-1-W for deficiencies, including, but not limited to, corrosion, deformation, pits,
burrs, rough surfaces, sharp edges, cracking, rust, paint buildup, excessive heating, alteration, and missing or
illegible labels. IMMEDIATELY remove CB-1-W from service if defects or damage are found, or if exposed to
forces of fall arrest.
Ensure that applicable work area is free of all damage, including, but not limited to, debris, rot, rust, decay,
cracking, and hazardous materials. Ensure that selected work area will support the application-specific
minimum loads set forth in this instruction manual. Work area MUST be stable.
At least every 12 months, a Competent Person other than the user must inspect CB-1-W. Competent Person
inspections MUST be recorded in inspection log in instruction manual and on equipment inspection grid
label. The Competent Person must sign their initials in the box corresponding to the month and year
the inspection took place.
During inspection, consider all applications and hazards CB-1-W have been subjected to.
