pulley because of possible cable rubbing on the tripod leg, and
uneven winding of the cable onto the winch drum.
F. SALALIFT® WINCH: When using the Salalift winch (8101000
series) with the tripod, the winch must be mounted to the leg
in-line with the head mount pulleys. Route the winch line over the
head mount pulleys as instructed in the Salalift® winch user
instruction manual. Do not use winch with snatch block pulley
(see section 3.5.E).
WARNING: Multiple systems may be attached to the tripod (primary support
lifeline and back-up lifeline), but the tripod is for one person use only.
Exception: Emergency rescue applications only. A maximum of one system
can be attached to any one tripod leg. A maximum of two systems should be
attached to one tripod, except back-up lifelines (fall arrest) which are limited
to one system.
IMPORTANT: Knots must not be used for load-bearing end terminations
(see ANSI Z359.1). Some knots reduce the strength of the lifeline by 50
percent or more.
