1.
When using a full body harness and a rope grab system, you must add the connector length 2.0ft (0.6m) to
the deceleration distance of rope grab 3.3ft (1.0m) to deceleration distance of energy absorber 4.0ft (1.2m)
to the height of the worker (6ft average height).
2.
Add an additional 3.3ft (1.0m) to the total as safety clearance including harness stretch.
3.
Total is 18.6ft (5.66m). This is the estimated height that you must attach your anchorage to reduce the risk
of coming in contact with the lower level. This is the safe fall clearance distance.
4.
Arresting distance for the vertical lifeline is not to exceed 3.3 ft (1.0m).
WARNING:
Before using the lifeline, calculate your fall distance and select the proper equipment to meet
estimated fall clearance. Failure to select proper equipment and calculate fall distances may result in serious
personal injury, illness or death.
Care should be taken when joining the complete fall arrest system together. The following steps should be
followed:
1.
Fit a harness.
2.
Attach the snap hook from the lifeline to the anchorage point. (Warning: Ensure anchorage point can
support 5000 lbf).
3.
Attach the snap hook from the lanyard/rope grab combo to attachment D-ring of the harness.
4.
Unlock rope grab, by unlocking safety and then turning knob counter clockwise until unit opens.
5.
With the arrow(s) point towards the anchorage point, insert lifeline.
6.
Secure lifeline by closing hinge, turning knob clockwise until securely in place, close safety.
NOTE:
To ensure a correct connection has been made, it should be noted that the lifeline will ONLY travel
towards the anchorage point. To test this move the lanyard back and forth a few inches to ensure a correct
connection. If the lifeline travels in the opposite direction the lifeline may have been position incorrectly into
the rope grab. Disassemble and return to step 5 and follow through until step 6.
