4.2 Installation of Universal Intermediate Brackets
(Required for Multiple-Span Systems only)
The intermediate brackets are designed to allow free-floating
or fixed positioning. Most often free-floating positioning is
desired. However, fixed positioning may be needed in the
case of an obstacle which may interfere with the lifeline.
To install intermediate brackets, follow the instructions
below:
1. Install the intermediate support clevis to the beam or
structure using the included hardware. Torque to 69 ft.
lbs. (94Nm).
2. Attach the cable support according to the desired result.
Free-Floating Positioning (see Fig. 2a)
: To allow the
cable support to float freely, align the star-shaped hole
in the clevis with the circle hole in the cable support and
insert the bolt completely through the aligned holes.
(NOTE: The bolt must enter through the side with the
star hole.) Attach the washer and nut.
Fixed Positioning (see Fig. 2b)
: To fix the position
of the cable support, align the star-shaped hole in the
clevis with the square hole in the cable support and
angle the support in the desired fixed position. Insert
the bolt completely through the aligned holes. (NOTE:
The bolt must enter through the side with the star hole.)
Attach the washer and nut.
3. Slide the plastic cable guides into position in the cable
support and snap into place. The cable support is now
ready to receive the cable.

To replace intermediate brackets without disassembling or replacing the lifeline, follow the instructions below:
1. Using a flat tipped screwdriver, unclip the plastic cable guides. Slide the cable guides aside. Then open each cable
guide enough to clear the cable and remove.
2. Disassemble the cable support from the clevis by removing the nut, washer and bolt. Then turn the cable support such
that the cable can be released.
3. Uninstall the clevis from the beam or structure.
4. Install the clevis of the new intermediate bracket to the beam or structure following step 1 of the installation instructions.
5. While aligning the cable within the cable support, attach the cable support by following step 2 of the installation instruc-
tions.
6. Add the plastic cable guides to the cable. Slide the cable guides into position in the cable support and snap them into
place.
