INSTALLATION:
1. Locate a structural steel beam flange capable of withstanding a 5,000-lbf. static load or
meeting OSHA and EN 795 2012 requirements for a safety factor of two.
2. Push in on the latch handle to allow the adjustable hook to move.
3. Keeping the unit perpendicular to the beam, fit the hooks over the edges of the beam flange.
4. Slide the adjustable hook so that both hooks are snug against the beam flange.
5. Pull back the adjustable hook to ensure the ratchet teeth are fully seated in the nearest
ratchet notches.
6. Tug, rock, and twist the anchor in all directions to ensure that it cannot come off of the flange.
*Always re-adjust according to Installation steps 1-6 when moving to a new or different sized
beam.
** D-ring is centered on the anchorage connector for ease of sliding on beam flanges.
Particularly in rope access applications, bodyweight may disengage the centering feature in
some loading conditions. This is not a safety concern, but it may affect usability.

COMPATIBILITY LIMITATIONS
Anchorage connector must only be coupled to compatible connectors. OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502, 1910.140, and EN 362 prohibits
snaphooks from being engaged to certain objects unless two requirements are met: it must be a locking type snaphook, and
it must be “designed for” making such a connection. “Designed for” means that the manufacturer of the snaphook specifically
designed the snaphook to be used to connect to the equipment listed. The following connections must be avoided, because
they can result in rollout* when a nonlocking snaphook is used:
• Direct connection of a snaphook to horizontal lifeline.
• Two (or more) snaphooks connected to one D-ring.
• Two snaphooks connected to each other.
• A snaphook connected back on its integral lanyard.
• A snaphook connected to a webbing loop or webbing lanyard.
• Improper dimensions of the D-ring, rebar, or other connection point in relation to the snaphook dimensions that
would allow the snaphook keeper to be depressed by a turning motion of the snaphook.
*Rollout: A process by which a snaphook or carabiner unintentionally disengages from another connector or object to
which it is coupled. (ANSI Z359.0-2007)
