3.0 INSTALLATION
3.1 PLANNING:
Plan your fall protection
system before starting your work. Account
for all factors that may affect your safety
before, during, and after a fall. Consider
all requirements and limitations defined in
Section 2.
IMPORTANT:
In most applications,
the Rebel SRL can be connected to
the anchorage or the harness Dorsal
location. Either orientation is allowed.
3.2 ANCHORAGE:
Figure 6 illustrates typical SRL
anchorage connections. Select an anchorage
location with minimal free fall and swing
fall hazards (see Section 2). Select a rigid
anchorage point capable of sustaining the
static loads defined in Section 2.2.
Rebel
SRLs must always be anchored at or
above the user’s Dorsal D-Ring.
IMPORTANT:
It is recommended that
this equipment be installed under the
supervision of a qualified person, as
defined by OSHA 1910.66, Appendix C.
3.3 HARNESS MOUNTING OPTIONS:
Single SRL Full Body Harness Mounting:
The Rebel SRL can be connected to the
harness dorsal D-Ring with a Carabiner
or Snap Hook. (See Figure 8, connection
examples 1 and 2). Some Rebel models
include a Carabiner. All include a Snap Hook.

Connect the Swivel Eye (Rebel components identified in Figure 2) to the D-Ring on the harness using the
Carabiner included with some Rebel models (or use a suitably rated connector), or use the included Snap
Hook to connect to the D-Ring. The opposite end of the Rebel must be connected to an anchorage point (see
Section 2.3) with an included Carabiner (or a suitably rated connector), or the included Snap Hook.
Twin SRL Harness Mounting using a Carabiner:
Some Rebel SRL models include a Carabiner (identified
in Figure 2) which can connect two Rebel SRLs to a Full Body Harness when climbing applications require
100% tie-off. The Carabiner mounts two Rebel SRLs side-by-side just below the harness Dorsal D-Ring. (See
Figure 8, connection example 3)
To mount two Rebel SRLs on a Full Body Harness with the Carabiner: (See Figure 7)
1. Loosen the Harness Webbing:
Pull out on the Web Straps (A) where they pass through the
bottom of the Dorsal D-Ring (B) until there is sufficient space to slide the Carabiner between the
Web Straps and D-Ring Pad.
2. Open the Triple-Action Carabiner:
Lift up on the Carabiner Gate (1) and twist it 45 degrees
(2) to align the slot in the gate with the Carabiner frame. Push the Gate (3) inward to open the
Carabiner.
3.
Mount the first Rebel SRL on the Carabiner:
Insert the Carabiner through the Swivel Eye (C) on
the SRL.
4. Insert the Caribiner through the Web Straps:
With the Carabiner Gate held open, insert the
Carabiner behind the Web Straps. Rotate the Carabiner behind the Web Straps until the Carabiner
surrounds the the Web Straps and the first Rebel SRL is positioned on the right side of the
Carabiner.
5. Mount the second Rebel SRL on the Carabiner:
Insert the Carabiner through the Swivel Eye on
the second SRL. Position the second SRL on the left side of the Carabiner Gate.
6. Allow the Carabiner Gate to close and lock.
7. Check the mounting of both SRLs:
When properly mounted, the Carabiner should pass through
the Web Straps (A) and the SRL Swivel Eyes should be secured on either side of the Carabiner Gate.
Pull the Web Straps (A) back through the Dorsal D-Ring and D-Ring Pad to eliminate slack in the
webbing and secure the Carabiner between the Web Straps and D-Ring Pad.
