Sling
Anchors
are
rated
to
withstand
the
forces
associated
with
extended
free
falls
or
foot
‐
level
tie
‐
off,
they
are
often
exposed
to
sharp,
jagged
or
abrasive
edges
in
these
applications
which
may
greatly
reduce
the
strength
of
the
Sling
Anchor.
In
circumstances

to
6’
(6
feet),
your

does
not
make
direct
contact
with
the
gate
or
keeper
on
your
connecting
device.
You
must
use
a
connecting
device
that
is
rated
for
free
falls
greater
than
six
feet
(i.e.
7247,
7248,
8247,
8248
or
“Y”
versions
of
these
models).
You
must
protect
the
Sling
Anchor
from
exposure
to
sharp,
jagged
or
abrasive
edges
by
wrapping
a
tarp
or
other
similar
padding
around
the
structural
member
prior
to
installing
the
Sling
Anchor.
These
steps
must
be
done
at
the
discretion
of
and
under
the
supervision
of
a
Competent
Person.
