Horizontal Safety Line. Lanyard connections onto the  Horizontal Safety Line, usually carabiners, must be smooth, 
and free of any burrs, or sharp edges. It is important that anchor points are sufficient to withstand load 
requirements  indicated in table on page 3.

1. Thoroughly inspect all components before and after fitting. 
2. Do not use additional bars or levers to induce a higher tension in line. 
3. Ensure that harness/lanyard attachments, carabiners, etc, are free from sharp edges, or burrs. 
4. Ensure that anchor points are designed as indicated on page 3. 
5. Ensure that when using attachment straps, the sleeve is suitably positioned to prevent any abrasion or cutting.

Keep these instructions, with the Horizontal Lifeline System to aid in future inspection and examination.  
The equipment must be  visually examined by a competent person when delivered to site/works, and  
thereafter at regular intervals, particular attention should be paid to the following:  METALWARE: Inspect for signs 
of damage/distortion, and that all moving parts and springs are fully operational, and rope for wear and abrasion. 

Tensioning the Lifeline 

When installing, connect as drawing, follow 0246-HD instructions (Page5) to properly tension the cable. 
Expanded detail is on Page 2. Using Rope loop on one end, put carabiners per drawing, and then pull cable hand

through tensioner. Follow instruction on the drawing Page 2 for proper assembly of the lifeline.  Use Table 1, 
Table 2, and Table 3 on Pages 3 and 4 to determine the appropriate clearances for one and two workers, and the 
proper application of this lifeline. Torque settings: 60-64 ft lbs torque, or Tension load: 140-150 lbs force, or 3/8””
