N.
Positioning the Re-Direct Prusik on Structure:
1.
Slowly pull the end of the lifeline to position the lifeline prusik with the Re-Direct line attached in the desired position.
2.
Using step G (above) loosely tie off the opposite end of the lifeline to the ladder to prevent the lifeline prusik with
Re-Direct line attached from being pulled too far over the structure.
O.
Attaching the Anchor Prusik to Re-Direct / Load Sharing Line:
1.
Pass the anchor prusik behind the Re-Direct line and then pass the end with the ring over the line and through the opposite
side of the prusik forming the first wrap (Fig. 61 - 62).
2.
Next pass the end with the ring over the line and through the opposite side of the prusik a second time forming the second
wrap (Fig. 63 - 64).
3.
Again, pass the end with the ring over the line and through the opposite side of the prusik a third time forming the third
wrap (Fig. 65 - 66).
4.
Finally pass the end with the ring over the line and through the opposite side of the prusik a fourth time forming the fourth
and final wrap (Fig. 67 - 68).
5.
Dress / set the prusik by aligning the wraps of the prusik around the line while pulling prusik tight (Fig. 69). Note: the prusik
must be tight to grab the rope. Check the prusik to verify it is tight and verify it is set by pulling the prusik and lifeline in
opposite directions. The prusik must not slide.
P.
Installing P/N 3904Q2-8 Re-Direct Line Temporary Anchor Strap:
1.
Choose a suitable fall arrest anchor point (see 4 under Review of Jobsite above). Anchor needs to be located such that when
the Re-Direct line is installed, the position of the anchor will keep the lifeline in the work area, and away from any edges to
prevent a swing.
2.
Wrap temporary anchor strap around suitable anchor (Fig. 70)
3.
Insert the small D-ring through the larger D-ring (Fig. 71)
4.
Pull end of strap with smaller D-ring through larger D-ring choking the strap around the anchor (Fig. 72)
Note: On a smaller diameter anchor, it may be necessary to wrap the strap around the anchor multiple times before
choking the strap (Fig. 73).
