SYSTEM CONNECTIONS:
Figure 10 indicates typical system connections when using the HLL System. Figure 10.1
illustrates application as a Fall Restraint system. Figure 10.2 illustrates application as a Fall Arrest system. When possible,
work at or below the level of the HLL System. To avoid swing fall hazards, do not work too far from either side of the HLL
System.
;
Horizontal Lifeline Connections
: See the product instruction for your Horizontal Lifeline (HLL) for proper
connection of the Lanyard or SRD to the HLL.
4.4
CONNECTING TO THE HLL SYSTEM:
Approach the work area using the appropriate access equipment. Connect the
personal fall arrest system to one of the attachment O-rings on the HLL or another connector meeting the requirements of
Section 2.7. Connectors must meet the specified compatibility and strength requirements.
4.5 USE WITH TWO PERSONS:
When one person falls while connected to the HLL System, the system will deflect. If two
persons are connected to the same HLL System and one person falls, the second person may be pulled off the working
surface due to deflection. The risk of the second person falling increases as the span length of the HLL System increases.
The use of independent HLL Systems for each person, or a shorter span length, is recommended to minimize risk.
4.6
USE WITH AN SRD:
When using an SRD to connect to the system, the SRD must meet the weight requirements
specified in Table 1. To reduce potential swing fall, it is recommended that the end anchorages be located above the
user, such that the SRD is positioned directly above the user. If overhead positioning is not possible, the lifeline may
be installed at a lower position as long as the free fall limits and anchorage height requirements of the connecting
subsystems are met. The SRD connection between the user and HLL System must remain taut to limit free fall distance. •
SRDs must be approved by the manufacturer for use with deformable anchorage systems.
4.7
SHARP EDGES:
The HLL System must be installed so deflection of the anchor line in a fall arrest does not bring the
anchor line into contact with a sharp edge (A) or any other object that may damage the anchor line (see Figure 12).
5.0 INSPECTION
5.1
INSPECTION FREQUENCY:
The HLL System must be inspected at the intervals defined in Section 2. Inspection
procedures are described in the “Inspection & Maintenance Log” (Table 2). Inspect all other components of the Fall
Protection system per the frequencies and procedures defined in the manufacturer’s instructions.
5.2 DEFECTS:
If inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition, immediately remove the HLL System from service,
clearly tag it “DO NOT USE”, and either destroy the system or forward to 3M for replacement or repair.
;
Only 3M or parties authorized in writing my make repairs to this equipment.
;
Remove all attached RFID Tags before disposing of this product. RFID Tags must be disposed of according to the
restrictions specified in Section 7.
5.3
PRODUCT LIFE:
The functional life of the HLL System is determined by work conditions and maintenance. As long as the
product passes inspection criteria, it may remain in service.
6.0 MAINTENANCE, SERVICING, STORAGE
6.1 CLEANING:
Periodically clean the EZ-Line Horizontal Lifeline’s metal components with a soft brush, warm water, and a
mild soap solution. Ensure parts are thoroughly rinsed with clean water.
6.2 SERVICE:
Only 3M or parties authorized in writing by 3M may make repairs to this equipment. If the HLL System has
been subject to fall arrest force or if inspection reveals an unsafe or defective condition, remove the system from service
and destroy or contact 3M regarding replacement or repair.
6.3
STORAGE AND TRANSPORT:
When not in use, store and transport the EZ-Line Horizontal Lifeline and associated fall
protection equipment in a cool, dry, clean environment out of direct sunlight. Avoid areas where chemical vapors may
exist. Thoroughly inspect components after extended storage. When not in use, slacken the HLL by connecting the crank
to the top output and rotate clockwise for about 20 degrees (20°), press the top button simultaneously, and allow the
crank to rotate counterclockwise. Disconnect the HLL system from the anchorages. Retract the lifeline back into the
housing by connecting the crank handle more likely to the bottom output and rotate counterclockwise. Ensure there are
no knots or kinks in the lifeline as you retract it.
7.0 LABELS
Figure 14 shows the labels that should be present on the EZ-Line Horizontal Lifeline. All labels must be present on the
EZ-Line Horizontal Lifeline. If labels are missing or are not fully legible, they must be replaced.
