L.
Tying the Slip Knot: Left off here.
1.
Form a loop in the lifeline just below the lifeline prusik (Fig. 51 - 52).
2.
Form a second loop in the lifeline below the first loop and insert through the first loop (Fig. 53 - 54).
3.
Tighten the first loop onto the second loop from above (Fig. 55).
4.
Position the lifeline prusik on top of the slip knot and re-tighten the prusik in place (Fig. 56).
Notes: Slip knot is used to prevent the prusik from slipping if the prusik gets caught on the eves / gutter when pulling
lifeline onto the roof. The user must not connect to the slip knot.
M.
Installing the Lifeline with Re-Direct Line(s) Installed:
1.
Ensure the area behind the structure where the anchor is located is clear of objects, persons, animals and anything that the
throw bag could contact / damage / injure.
2.
Ensure the path of the throw bag and line are clear of any powerlines, phone lines or other utility cables and wires.
3.
Follow the BuckLaunch product instructions and launch the throw bag with throw line attached over the structure and
towards the anchor or the work area (Fig. 57). When launching the throw bag ensure the path and area where the throw
bag will land is clear as noted in steps 1 and 2 above.
4.
Attach the end of the throw line (with the Re-Direct lines already installed and positioned in desired locations) to the
anchor eye of the lifeline and the tail of the Re-Direct line(s) (Fig. 58) and pull over the structure towards the anchor (Fig. 59
- 60).
