CARE AND STORAGE
This rope grab and all fall protection equipment should be stored in a clean dry environment that is
free of exposure to fumes or corrosive elements. If the rope grab is being used in a corrosive environ-
ment (for example near salt water), the rope grab must be inspected more frequently. Any build up of
dirt or grime can seriously reduce the performance of the rope grab and in some cases may prevent
the rope grab from arresting a fall.
Regular cleaning of your rope grab will ensure proper performance and will help extend its life. Clean
your rope grab in a mild solution of water and mild soap or detergent. Wipe the rope grab dry with a
clean cloth. Do NOT lubricate the rope grab.
INSTALLATION (RG-11010
& RG-11000
Model Rope Grabs Only)
Installing rope grab on rope
STEP1: Ensure the rope grab is positioned so that the “UP” arrow is facing upwards.
STEP 2: The rope grab is designed with an orientation lock out and will not open if the rope grab is not
in the correct orientation (i.e. facing upward) (see figure 1).
STEP3: Depress spring-loaded lever and at the same time turn the knurl knob counter clockwise until
the rope grab opens up.
STEP 4: Install the vertical lifeline in the cavity as shown (see figure 2).
STEP 5: Close the side plate of the rope grab ensuring that the rope is seated in the cavity and is not
pinched by the side plate.
STEP 6: With the spring lever depressed, rotate the knurl knob clockwise until the two side plates are
seated firmly against each other without any visible gap. Release the lever to lock.
STEP 7: Test the operation of the rope grab by pulling firmly down on the rope. The rope grab
should lock onto the rope firmly.
STEP 8: If the rope gr
ab does not lock onto the rope repeat steps 1-7.
NOTE: Certified for use on rope with slopes of 0 to 90 degrees.

INSTALLATION (RG-21000 Model Rope Grabs Only)
STEP 1: To open the fall arrestor, pivot the locking clip away from the body then turn locking screw
counter-clockwise till disengaged then pivot open. Inspect as outlined in section 7.
STEP 2: Position rope grab with arrow pointing up. On RG-21000 models the roller attached to hinge
pin will be pointed down.
STEP 3: Insert the lifeline. Only 5/8” (16mm) diameter Prosteel rope (62145)
should be used. (See
lifeline section following.)
STEP 4: Pivot the ring so that the gripper does not press against the rope then close the unit around
the rope.
STEP 5: Tighten the locking screw. It should thread easily and tighten against the rope
grab body with
body parts touching. Rotate the locking clip over the detent (dimple) into the notch in the body. It
should move easily and be held in the locked position by a combination of the detent and bronze thrust
washer. Be sure the screw is tight and clip is fully in the locked position.
STEP 6: Test the operation of the rope grab by pulling firmly down on the rope. The rope grab should
lock onto the rope firmly.
STEP 7: If the rope grab does not lock onto the rope repeat steps 1-6
NOTE: Approved for use on rope with slopes of 0 to 90 degrees.
WARNING: Use only 5/8” rope specified in this manual. Use of any other rope or diameter
is prohibited and would result in serious injury or death.
