User Instructions must always be available to the user and are not to be removed except by the user of this equipment. For
proper use, see supervisor, User Instructions, or contact the manufacturer.
Compliant fall protection and emergency rescue systems help prevent serious injury during fall arrest. Users and purchasers of
this equipment must read and understand the User Instructions provided for correct use and care of this product. All users of
this equipment must understand the instructions, operation, limitations and consequences of improper use of this equipment
and be properly trained prior to use in accordance with all applicable standards. All references to “applicable standards” refer to
ANSI, OSHA, state, local, and/or federal standards that apply to approved used.
Misuse or failure to follow warnings and instructions may result in serious personal injury or death.
PURPOSE
The EAL12NC-72Y-C13 is a connecting subsystem consisting of an energy absorbing Y-Lanyard and integrated CBH013X
anchorage connectors designed to limit forces during fall arrest while functioning as an interface between an anchorage and
full body harness. Any references to “connecting subsystem” in this manual include, and apply to, the EAL12NC-72Y-C13 and all
integral components. Any references to “anchorage connector” in this manual include, and apply to, the CBH013X.
USE INSTRUCTIONS
1. A user must be of sound mind and body to properly and safely use this equipment in normal and emergency
situations. Users must have a physician ensure they are clear of any medical conditions that may affect the
proper and safe use of this equipment in normal and emergency situations.
2. Before using a personal fall arrest system, user must be trained in accordance with the requirements of
applicable standards in the safe use of the system and its components.
3. Use only with ANSI/OSHA compliant personal fall arrest or restraint systems. The anchorage must have the
strength capable of supporting a static load, applied in the directions permitted by the system, of at
least 5,000-lbf (22kN) in the absence of certification.
5. Use of this product must be approved by an engineer or other qualified person (as defined by OSHA 29 CFR
1926.32 (m)) to be compatible with any and all structural & operational characteristics of the selected
installation location and system to be connected to this connecting subsystem.
6. The connecting subsystem must be inspected prior to each use for wear, damage, and other deterioration.
If defective components are found the connecting subsystem must be immediately removed from
service in accordance with applicable standards and the manufacturer’s inspection requirements.
7. 60 inches must be added to the fall clearance calculation to account for maximum deceleration distance this
connecting subsystem may add to the complete system. Fall arrest systems should be used in a way minimizes
fall potential and risk of swing falls. Adequate fall clearance must be planned for after accounting for all
components of the system and surroundings. Surroundings include but are not limited to lower
levels, machinery, and other obstacles.
8. If due for scheduled maintenance or inspection, connecting subsystem should be tagged not for use until
maintenance or inspection has been performed.
9. A rescue plan, and the means at hand to implement it, must be in place that provides the prompt rescue of
users in the event of a fall, or assures that users are able to rescue themselves.
10. After a fall occurs the connecting subsystem must be removed from service and destroyed immediately.
USE LIMITATIONS
:
The connecting subsystem shall not be used outside its limitations, or for any purpose other than
that for which it is intended.
1. The connecting subsystem is designed for single user, with a capacity up to 310 lbs (140 kg) including clothing,
tools, etc.
2. Do not expose the connection subsystem to chemicals or harsh solutions which may have a harmful effect.
3. Do not alter or modify this product in any way.
4. Caution must be taken when using any component of a fall protection, travel restraint, work positioning, rope
access, or rescue system near moving machinery, electrical hazards, sharp edges, or abrasive surfaces, as
contact may cause equipment failure, personal injury, or death.
5. Do not use/install equipment without proper training by a “competent person” as defined by OSHA 29 CFR
1926.32(f).
6. Do not remove the labeling from this product.
7. Additional requirements and limitations may apply depending on system being used. All complete systems
utilizing the connecting subsystem must be approved by an engineer or other qualified person.
8. Repairs should not be made to the connecting subsystem. If inspection reveals damage it should be removed
from service and destroyed.
9. The connecting subsystem should only be used as intended, (see PURPOSE).
10. Connecting subsystem should not be used as part of a horizontal lifeline system.
11. Connecting subsystem must only be connected to one fall arrest system at a time.
12. Connecting subsystem is designed to be used in temperatures ranging from -10°F to +130°F (-23°C to +54°C).
13. Anchorage connector must only be loaded as allowed in CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS.
Read This Instruction Manual Carefully Before Using This Equipment.
