4. The FS1118 and FS1120 are equipped with an anti-inversion cam in the hinge. This prevents the grab from opening or closing if in the wrong
orientation relative to the rope. When installing, ensure that the etched arrow is pointing up (See Figure 7). NEVER grab the Fall Arrester

grabbed during a fall.
