Pro Series Lanyards covered by this instruction manual. Lanyards covered in this instruction
may be used for Restraint or Work Positioning applications. Energy-Absorbing Lanyards may be used for Fall Arrest applications
as well.
Lanyards are web or cable tethers with connectors on either end. Connectors wil vary per model, as will the presence of an
energy absorber. Only Energy-Absorbing Lanyards will include energy absorbers for Fall Arrest.
One end of the lanyard will secure to the designated attachment element on the user’s harness, while the other end secures to
anchorage connection point or anchorage structure. For Energy-Absorbing Lanyards, the end with the energy absorber should
always connect to the user’s harness. Twin Leg Lanyard models provide 100-percent tie-off while moving from point to point.
See Table 1 for Lanyard and Connector specifications.
;
Only specific models covered by this instruction include energy absorbers. See Table 1 for more information. Only lanyard
models that include an integral energy absorber should be used for Fall Arrest applications. All other models are limited to
Restraint or Work Positioning applications and should not be used to arrest a fall.
