CONNECTING TO ANCHORAGE: Lifeline subsystems must secure to a vertical lifeline for anchoring. See Figure 7 for
reference. To connect to a vertical lifeline:
;
Your lifeline subsystem may only be used with those vertical lifelines listed as compatible in these instructions.
;
Lifeline subsystems must only be connected to one vertical lifeline during use.
1.
Place the rope grab in the "UP" position as indicated on the product label. The "UP" end of the rope grab must be
oriented towards the anchorage point when installed onto the Vertical Lifeline (A).
;
The rope grab incorporates a gravity lock which will prevent closing if the rope grab is not held upright.
2.
Remove the Detent Pin (B) and open the Hinged Rope Retainer (C). Raise the Lanyard Connection Handle (D) to the
"UP" position. Insert the Vertical Lifeline (A) into the rope grab.
3.
Close the Hinged Rope Retainer (C) and replace the Detent Pin (B). Check the detent pin to verify that it is locked.
For rope grab models without an integral lanyard, secure the lanyard to the Lanyard Connection Handle (D).
;
This product may only be used with lanyards meeting the requirements specified in Figure 1 and Table 1.
4.
Test the operation of the rope grab by pulling down on the attached lanyard. Once the locking roller has fully engaged
the lifeline, the rope grab should not be able to move down any further.

SECURING A CONNECTING SUBSYSTEM: Only energy-absorbing lanyards may be used with lifeline subsystems.
See Figure 8 for reference. To secure, connect the Anchoring Connector (A) of your lanyard to the connection eye or
connection point (B) on your lifeline subsystem.
;
This step does not apply to lifeline subsystems with built-in or integral lanyards. Do not remove integral lanyards.
3.6
CONNECTING TO A HARNESS: Connection of the lanyard to a harness will vary per the harness and which attachment
element is used. See Figure 9 for reference. To secure, connect the Harness Connector (A) of your lanyard to the
Attachment Element (B) on your harness. For more information on which attachment elements may be used, see the
manufacturer instructions of your harness.
;
The "Product Overview" specifies Fall Protection applications available to your product. Ensure use of your harness
complies with these requirements. A full body harness is required for Fall Arrest applications.
