4.0 Inspection
In addition to the inspection procedures outlined
in the Self-Retracting Lifelines and Fall Limiters
instruction manual, the user must also inspect
the unique fall indicator included in the design
of the Turbo T-BAK.
Inspecting the Fall Indicator
The fall indicator is built into the top of the Turbo
T-BAK unit. Upon being subjected to fall arrest
forces, the dual internal shock absorber/fall
indicator will deploy up to 12 inches (305mm)
as shown. A red warning flag will be exposed,
which states that the unit must be removed from
service.

Using the Twin Turbo D-Ring Connector
The Turbo T-BAK PFLs are designed to be used with the Twin Turbo D-Ring Connector when
100% continuous fall protection is needed. The Turbo T-BAK units connect to the Twin Turbo
D-Ring Connector in the same way as TurboLite units. Refer to the instructions provided with
the Twin Turbo System.
*NOTE: Overhead mounting is
typically recommended. However,
with extensive testing, the Miller
Turbo T-BAK PFL and the Twin
Turbo T-BAK System have been
approved for anchoring below
the harness back D-ring with the
specified requirements (see Fig. 2a
& 2b). An additional shock absorber
is not required in these applications.
IMPORTANT: Fall clearance must
be calculated from the anchor point
when anchoring below the harness
back D-ring and the distance
between the anchor and harness
D-ring must be added into the
calculation. Refer to Calculating Fall
Clearance Distance in the Miller Self-
Retracting Lifelines & Fall Limiters
instruction manual.
WARNING:
When the Turbo T-Bak PFL is
not used in a tie-back configuration, the
above distances must be reduced by 1 foot.
