Product Installation Using The FallTech SteelGrip® Stanchions (Single or Multiple Span):
Step 1: The HLL system described in this manual is designed for use with the FallTech SteelGrip® Stanchions, which provide a minimum two to
one safety factor relative to the loads applied by the system, see Figure 17. In order to reduce the required fall clearance, the use of
intermediate stanchions to reduce span length is recommended. For more details see the
FallTech SteelGrip® Stanchion User Instruction
Manual.
Note:
The maximum single span length when using stanchions is 60’, see Figure 18. The overall system length can be
increased by using intermediate stanchions to create multiple spans in at most 60’ increments. For multiple spans
two FallTech SteelGrip® Coil Energy Absorbers must be used, see Figure 19.
Step 2: Secure the HLL system to the end stanchions using the
provided end attachment carabiners as shown in
Figure 20.
Step 3: For single span systems, skip to step 4.
For multiple span systems:
Ensure the pass-through brackets are installed per the
instructions in the FallTech SteelGrip® Stanchion User
Manual. Ensure that the lifeline passes through the
intermediate stanchion’s pass through brackets as
shown in Figure 21.
Step 4: Holding the cable side jaw of the turnbuckle to prevent the
lifeline from twisting, use a tool to rotate the turnbuckle. Rotate
the turnbuckle so that the jaws draw toward each other as
shown in Figure 22.
If a FallTech Tension Indicator is not being used, tighten
the turnbuckle until the center of the lifeline sags no more than
6 inches below the end anchorage points.
If a FallTech Tension Indicator is being used, tighten the turn
buckle until the indicator is located in the center green section
of the window, as shown in Figure 23.
Step 5: Once properly tensioned, the lifeline subsytem can be used.
