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.
3.2 ANCHORAGE:
Figure 9 illustrates typical SRD anchorage connections. Select an anchorage location with minimal free fall and
swing fall hazards (see Section 1). Select a rigid anchorage point capable of sustaining the static loads defined in Section 1.
Where anchoring overhead is not feasible, Nano-Lok SRDs may be secured to an anchorage point below the level of the user’s
Dorsal D-Ring. For users up to 310 lbs (140 kg), the anchorage point must not be more than 5 ft (1.5m) below the Dorsal
D-Ring. Refer to Figure 4 for approved Anchor locations.
;
Do not tie off in dotted area of clearance charts (Figure 4).
3.3 HARNESS MOUNTING:
The Nano-Lok Wrap Back SRDs include an interface for mounting on a Full Body Harness just
below the Dorsal D-ring. The worker can then connect the lifeline end of the SRD to anchorage points located thoughout
the work site. To mount the Wrap Back SRD on a Full Body Harness (see Figure 8):
;
Some Full Body Harnesses are equipped with a Personal SRD Link (PSRD Link) that integrates the Dorsal
D-Ring with attachment elements for Harness Mounted Self-Retracting Devices
(Figure 7).
1. Loosen the Harness Webbing:
Pull out on both Shoulder Straps (A) where they pass through the bottom of the
Dorsal D-Ring (B) until there is sufficient space to slide the locking pin between the Shoulder Straps and Back Pad.
2. Open the Harness Interface:
Push down on the Locking Buttons (C) simultaneously and slide the Locking Pin (D)
out.
;
Both locking pins must be fully depressed to allow the locking pin to slide out. To slide the locking pin open,
apply firm pressure to both locking buttons with the thumbs while simutaneously pulling on the locking pin head
with an index finger.
3. Insert the Locking Pin Through the Shoulder Straps:
With the Locking Buttons (C) facing out and Locking Pin
facing up, insert the Detent Pin (D) of the Harness Interface (E) behind both Shoulder Straps (A) and lock in place.
Pull the shoulder Straps back through the Dorsal D-Ring and Back Pad to remove slack.
4. Connect Hook and Loop Straps around the Shoulder Straps:
Open the hook and loop straps (F) located on the
bottom of the Energy Absorber Pack. Wrap the hook and loop straps around the Shoulder Straps and secure.
;
The Red Band (G) on the knob end of the Harness Interface Locking Pin will be exposed if the Harness
Interface is unlocked. To avoid accidental release of the connection, always make sure the Harness Interface
is locked before using the Harness and attached SRD. Failure to do so could result in injury or death.
5. Alternate Attachment Strap:
The Nano-Lok Wrap Back SRD Attachment Strap (3100184), can be used as an
alternative means of securing the bottom of the Nano-Lok Pack when the harness geometry precludes the use of the
integral hook and loop straps. (See Figure 18) and refer to Placement Instructions below.
A. Placement Instructions:
Figure 18A, shows the Nano-Lok Wrap Back SRD Attachment Strap.
1. Note that t
he Nano-Lok SRD Attachment Strap uses hook and loop closures: Hook ends (1), loop ends
(2).
2. Position Attachment Strap hook ends (1) under the harness shoulder straps and loop ends (2) over energy
absorber covers, as seen in Figure 18B.
3. Wrap loop straps over energy absorber cover and harness shoulder straps. Secure snugly with hoop straps
as seen in Figure 18C.
;
First time or infrequent users of Self-Retracting Devices (SRDs) should review the “Safety Information” at
the beginning of this manual prior to use of the SRD.
6. Web Loop Harness Adapter:
The Nano-Lok SRL Web Loop Harness Adapter (P/N 3500046) (see Figure 19) is a web
loop that allows the SRD to be used on harnesses that are not compatible with the SRD Harness Interface connector.
This applies primarily to harnesses with fixed D-Rings that do no have enough slack in the harness web to allow the
pin of the connector to pass through.
Step 1: Position harness D-Ring (
1
) as shown.
Step 2: From behind and at the bottom of the D-Ring, insert the Web Loop up through the D-Ring and fold the top
of the loop down (
2
).
Step 3: Pull the top of Web Loop (
3
) down through the bottom of the Web Loop.
Step 4: Open the Nano-Lok SRL Harness Interface. Push down on the Locking Buttons (
4
) simultaneously and slide
the Locking Pin (
5
) out. Position the Web Loop between the sides of the Harness Interface as shown.
Step 5: Insert the Locking Pin (
6
) Through the Web Loop. Confirm that the Locking Pin has locked in the closed
position. If properly closed, the Red Band on the Locking Pin will not be visible.
