Don and fit the Lineman’s Belt as follows:
Step 1.
Wrap Lineman’s Belt around waist, above your hips. See Figure 6.
Step 2.
Lace belt tongue through buckle as shown in Figure 7. Ensure
buckle is properly secured. The Lineman’s Belt should be
comfortably snug. The tongue of the buckle must be inserted
through an existing hole. Do not punch or cut new holes into the
belt.

components according to manufacturer’s instructions and
Section 3.4.

MAKING CONNECTIONS:
Self locking snap hooks and carabiners should be
used to reduce the possibility of roll-out. Do not use hooks or connectors that
will not completely close over the attachment object. Do not tie a knot in the
lanyard or lifeline. Do not connect snap hooks or carabiners to each other.
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for each component of the system.
