III. Installation and Use
a. Connect the Snap Hook
Connect the snap hook on the lanyard
ONLY to the back D-ring of the harness. Do
not connect to any other part of the harness.
b. Connecting to an Anchorage
Connect the snap hook on the rope
lifeline to the anchor.
Warning:
The rope grab should be positioned to limit potential free fall to the
shortest possible distance, but in no case more than 6’ per CSA Z259
requirements.
c. Connecting the Rope Grab to the Lifeline
Ensure the rope grab is in the “UP” position as indicated on the
device.
NOTE:
Keep a minimum distance of 6ft (1.8 m) of rope below the
rope grab for locking distance and fall clearance.
To reposition the rope grab on the life line, lift upward on the
springloaded cam handle that connects the gripping cams. Slide
the rope rab to the desired position on the lifeline and release the
cam handle. The spring-loaded gripping cams will keep the rope
grab in position.
NOTE:
The lower end of the lifeline shall have a termination that
prevents the fall arrester from passing through that termination.
When the line is installed, the bottom end shall have a counterweight
to provide stiffness.
