3.1 PLANNING: Plan your fall protection system prior to installation of the Perimter Limiter. Account for all factors that may
affect your safety before, during and after a fall. Consider all requirements, limitations, and specifications defined in
Section 2 and Table 1.
3.2 INSTALLING THE PERIMETER LIMITER: The Perimeter Limiter is shipped with the Mast Arm installed backwards and
with a smaller Mast for shipping purposes only. To install the Perimeter Limiter:
1. Remove the Mast Arm from the temporary shipping Mast.
2. Remove and discard the shipping Mast.
3. Install the Mast that was shipped loose and install the Mast Arm on the new Mast in the correct orientation shown in
Figure 1.
4. Replace all pins before use.
5. Use the positioning handles on the rear of the weight cart and positioning bars on the front of the unit to position the
unit at the desired work location.
6. Once the unit is in proper position and alignment, raise the front and rear tire jacks until the foot pads reach the work
surface. Continue to rotate the jack handles until all three wheels are lifted off the work surface and rotate freely to
ensure the weight of the unit is transferred to the foot pads.
7. Attach your personal fall arrest system (PFAS) to the attachments points on the mast arm (see Figure 1). Refer to the
PFAS manufacturer’s instructions for correct attachment and use of the PFAS. Do not attach more than one PFAS to
an attachment point. Do not attach more than two PFAS to the Perimeter Limiter.
;
Do not use the system with the temporary shipping Mast installed. Remove, replace, and discard the
temporary Mast before use.
4.0 USE
4.1 BEFORE EACH USE: Verify that your work area and Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) meet all criteria defined in
Section 2 and a formal Rescue Plan is in place. Inspect the Perimeter Limiter per the ‘ User ’ inspection points defined on
the “ Inspection and Maintenance Log ” (Table 2). If inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition, do not use the

Self-Retracting Device (SRD).
4.3 LOCATION: See Figure 9. The Perimeter Limiter must be located a sufficent distance from the edge of a working surface.
Minimum distance allowed is 2 ft. (0.6 m) from the front (A) of the unit and 3 ft. (0.9 m) from the side (B) of the unit.
4.4 SAFE WORK ZONE: See Figure 10. A: User 1 safe working zone, B: User 2 safe working zone, C: 26’ maximum, D: 24’
maximum work zone. Always work within the safe work zone of the Perimeter Limiter to avoid rocking or tipping the unit.
• Do not work above the surface level.
• Avoid working where the line may cross or tangle within another object or worker.
