3.11 SECURING LANYARDS WITH CHOKER LOOPS:
Some lanyard models include choker loops for connecting to harnesses.
Choker loops are web loops that are designed to choke the lanyard onto a harness before securing to an anchorage point.
See Figure 13 for reference. To secure a lanyard with a choker loop:
1. Insert the lanyard choker loop through the dorsal attachment element on the harness. This may be a D-ring or
another web loop that is part of the harness.
2. Insert the anchoring end of the lanyard through the choker loop so that the lanyard encloses the harness attachment
element.
3. Pull the lanyard through until its choker loop tightly cinches the harness attachment element.

3.12 CONNECTING SYSTEM COMPONENTS:
After donning the harness, the user may connect to their Fall Protection
System. Observe all requirements as specified in these instructions and any manufacturer’s instructions included with the
system components. See the Product Overview for more information on System Applications.
