Step 1: Attach a carabiner to one end of the SteelGrip® Coil Energy
Absorber as shown in Figure 7.
Step 2: Assembly without FallTech Tension Indicator, skip to Step 3.
Assembly with FallTech Tension Indicator:
Remove cotter pins, unthread nuts, and remove bolts of
two shackles. Attach a shackle on either side of the FallTech
Tension Indicator. Align one shackle with the remaining
hole of the SteelGrip® Coil Energy Absorber, insert the
shackle bolts, thread on and tighten nuts, and insert cotter
pins into both shackles as shown in Figure 8.
Step 3: Rotate the body of the turnbuckle to expand the
connection points away from each other as shown in Figure
9. Being sure the jaws are expanded equally on both sides
and that there are still threads visible inside the
turnbuckle body.
Step 4: Remove the cotter pins from the bolts in the turnbuckle.
Then unthread the nuts and remove the bolts.
Step 5: Assembly without FallTech Tension Indicator:
Align the jaws of one end of the turnbuckle with the open
end of the SteelGrip® Coil Energy Absorber. Insert
a turnbuckle bolt through the aligned holes, thread on the
nut and insert the cotter pin as shown in Figure 10.
Assembly with FallTech Tension Indicator:
Align the jaws of one end of the turnbuckle with the open
shackle on the FallTech Tension Indicator. Insert a
turnbuckle bolt through the aligned holes, thread on the
nut and insert the cotter pin as shown in Figure 11.
Step 6: Align the other jaw of the turnbuckle with the termed
end of the cable. Insert a turnbuckle bolt through
the aligned holes, thread on the nut and insert the cotter
pin as shown in Figure 12.
Step 7: At the appropriate length, term the cable by wrapping the
cable around the thimble, attach the cable clamps as shown
in Figure 13. Install one clamp at the base of the thimble
and one clamp 3” away from other clamp. There
should be at least 8” of excess cable beyond the second
cable clamp.
Step 8: Attach the second carabiner to the thimble end of the cable
as shown in Figure 14.
If the span is 60’ or less, the system is ready to be installed.
If the span is greater than 60’, continue to step 9.
Step 9: Remove the cotter pin of a shackle, unthread the nut and
remove the bolt. Insert the shackle through the
thimble end of the cable. Align the shackle holes
with the hole in the second SteelGrip® Coil Energy
Absorber. Insert the shackle bolt, thread on nut and insert
cotter pin. See Figure 15.
Step 10: Attach the second carabiner to the other end of the
SteelGrip® Coil Energy Absorber as shown in Figure 16.
