The entire Safewaze Kernmantle Rope Horizontal Lifeline system, and its subsystems,
must be inspected prior to each use for wear, damage, and other deterioration. All

of self retracting lanyards by pulling smoothly on the lifeline, then pull sharply on the
lifeline to engage the locking mechanism. All webbing and rope must be inspected
for tears, cuts, fraying, abrasion, unsplicing, discoloration, or other signs of wear and
damage. Sewn terminations should be secure, complete, and not visibly damaged. All
rope splices should be secure. System must be properly tensioned. No load indicators
shall be deployed. Damaged and other deteriorated and defective components must

9.0 Installation and Use
Before Each Use
Users of personal fall arrest systems must have a rescue plan in place, if the user
cannot rescue themselves, as well as the means to carry out the rescue.
The user must read and understand these User Instructions, as well as the User
Instructions for every component/subsystem of the personal fall arrest system.
Cross Arm Strap System Installation
Step 1. Install Anchorage Connector
Wrap the Cross Arm Strap around the anchorage and pass the small D-ring end
through the large D-ring end. Wrap as many times as necessary to achieve desired
length, ensuring strap is wrapped at least
twice
around the end anchorage. A
minimum of two wraps around the end anchorage helps prevent sliding of the anchor
straps during use. Only connect to the small D-ring of the Cross Arm Strap.
Other approved anchorage connectors may be used in place of the supplied Cross Arm
Strap. See anchorage connector user instructions for proper installation.
