Page 14: Limitations Of Use
Limitations of Use Fall Clearance When planning your fall protection system, it is important to accurately assess all components of your system in order to avoid injury. Figure 21 provides guidance on how to calculate fall clearance, (A) represents the deflection Rigid Anchor Line see Figure 6, (B) represents free fall, energy absorber deployment as well as the estimated D-ring side of the harness (Refer the manufacturer's information), (SF) represents the recommended safety factor of 1m, (FC) represents the total allowable fall clearance. - Page 15 Hazards Use of this equipment in the presence of hazards may cause damage to the equipment and/ or result in the function of the equipment being impeded. These hazards include but are not limited to; extreme temperature, sharp edges, chemical reagents, electrical conductivity, abrasion, cutting, climatic exposure and rotating or moving machinery.
- Page 16 Working Range The X-Rail Rigid Anchor Line should be used in a 180º arc around the attachment point of the shuttle along the length of the rail. Operating outside this range may cause connecting devices to interfere with intermediate or end bracket fixings or result in the gate of the connector being loaded.
- Page 17 Connection to the X-Rail Shuttle The X-Rail has one attachment for connecting the users system to the shuttle, see Figure 26. Connection shall be made with an auto-locking compatible connector. Shuttle Lock To lock the position of the shuttle along the rail for work positioning or abseil purposes turn the locking bolt clockwise till the shuttle locks on the rail.
