damage or a fall.

Use a support member (metal hanger) with no opening as
shown in the figure on the right, so that the retractor does not
come off while in motion.
Attach the support member such that the retractor does not
collide with its surroundings.
When installing multiple retractors alongside, place them at
different heights so that they do not collide with each other.

sufficient strength. Attach the top hook of the retractor
directly to the support member (metal hanger).

Check that the top hook latch is closed

strength at least 10 times greater than the maximum
capacity of the retractor.

As shown in the figure on the right, attach an end of
the auxiliary wire rope or chain to a support member
(metal hanger) different from the support member
(metal hanger) to which the top hook has been
attached. Attach the other end of the auxiliary wire
rope or chain to the main equipment of the retractor.
