MILLER Adjustable Cab Mount Bracket

WARNING
All persons using this equipment must read, understand and follow all instructions. Instructions supplied with the self-retracting lifeline/fall limiter at the time of shipment must also be followed. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death. Do not use this equipment unless you are properly trained.

Purpose

The Miller Cab Mount Bracket (CMB) is an anchorage connection device designed to fit a wide range of lift truck cabs. Adjustable side plates allow the bracket to accommodate cab bars or guard stringers from 3-3/4″ (9.5cm) to 9-1/8″ (23cm). The bracket is constructed of heavy-duty, zinc plated steel for greater dura- bility and longer service life. The Cab Mount Bracket must be used in conjunction with a Miller MinilLite® Fall Limiter (FL11), Miller Scor- pion TM Personal Fall Limiter (PFL) or Miller Black RhinoTM Self-Retracting Lifeline (CFL).

General Requirements, Warnings and Limitations

All warnings and instructions shall be provided to authorized persons/users. All authorized persons/users must reference the regulations governing occupational safety, as well as applicable ANSI or CSA standards. Proper precautions should always be taken to remove any obstructions, debris, material, or other recognized hazards from the work area that could cause injuries or interfere with the operation of the system. All equipment must be inspected before each use according to the manufacturer’s instructions. person on a regular basis. To minimize the potential for accidental disengagement, a competent person must ensure system compatibility. All Miller fall protection products are designed for use with Miller-approved components. Substitution or replacement with non-approved component combinations or subsystems or both may affect or interfere with the safe function of each other and endanger compatibility within the system. This incompatibility may affect the reliability and safety of the total system. Equipment must not be altered in any way. Repairs must be performed only by the manufacturer, or persons or entities authorized in writing by the manufacturer. Any product exhibiting deformities, unusual wear, or deterioration must be immediately discarded. Any equipment subject to a fall must be removed from service. The authorized person/user shall have a rescue plan and the means at hand to implement it when using this equipment. Never use fall protection equipment for purposes other than those for which it was designed. Equipment must not be exposed to environmental hazards and chemicals which may produce a harmful effect. Use in a corrosive or caustic environment dictates a more frequent inspection and servicing program to ensure the integrity of the product is maintained. Do not allow equipment to come in contact with anything that will damage it including, but not limited to, sharp, abrasive, rough or high- temperature surfaces, welding, heat sources, electrical hazards, or moving machinery. Do not expose the equipment to any hazard which it is not designed to withstand. Consult the manufacturer in cases of doubt. Always check for obstructions below the work area to make sure potential fall path is clear. Allow adequate fall clearance below the work surface. Never remove product labels, which include important warnings and information for the authorized person/user.

Installation

Before installation of any anchorage connector, carefully inspect to ensure that it is in useable con- dition. Refer to the inspection section of this manual. Only trained and competent personnel should install and use this equipment. Fall arrest systems used with the anchorage connector must be rigged in accordance to regulatory requirements. [All instructions and warnings provided with the components of the personal fall arrest system must be read, understood, and followed.] Make sure that all connections within the fall arrest system are compatible. The Cab Mount Bracket must be used with an approved Miller self-retracting lifeline / fall limiter and is designed FOR USE BY ONE PERSON ONLY. Maximum capacity is 310 Ibs. (140.6kg). The Cab Mount Bracket has a minimum tensile strength of 5,000 Ibs. (22.2KN). The anchorage that this product is attached to must be capable of supporting 5,000 Ibs. (22.2 kN) per user attached; or be designed, installed and used, under the supervision of a qualified person, as part of a complete personal fall arrest system which maintains a safety factor of at least two. Anchorage requirements based on ANSI are as follows:

For fall arrest systems, anchorages must withstand a static load of 5,000 Ibs. (22.2kN) for non-certified anchorages or two times the maximum arresting force for certified anchorages.
When more than one personal fall arrest system is attached to an anchorage, the above anchorage strengths must be multiplied by the number of personal fall arrest systems attached to the anchorage.
The Cab Mount Bracket meets OSHA and ANSIA10.32.

IMPORTANT: Figure 1 Drawing is provided for identification of parts and as an installation reference showing how a Miller self-retracting lifeline or fall limiter is installed in the bracket and the bracket to the cab bars. Each self-retracting lifeline/fall limiter, however, has slightly different installation instructions. Please follow closely the installation instructions for your particular model with regard to differences in roller positioning on the cab mount bracket. MILLER-Adjustable-Cab-Mount-Bracket-
