(also referred to as a fall arrester). Self-Retracting Lifeline/Lanyard A deceleration device containing a drum-wound line, which can be slowly extracted from, or retracted onto, the drum under slight tension during normal worker movement, and which, after onset of a fall, automatically locks the drum and arrests the fall.

NOTE: Large snap hooks must not be connected to objects which will result in a load on the gate if the hook twists or rotates, unless the snap hook complies with ANSI Z359.1-2007 or ANSI Z359.12 and is equipped with a 3,600 lb (16 kN) gate. Check the marking on your snap hook to verify its compatibility.

Instruction Manual Swing Fall: The swing fall hazard is created by the pendulum effect, which can swing a fallen worker into a nearby surface, such as a wall or protruding beam. In addition to calculating the total fall clearance distance before beginning work on an elevated level, it is important to evaluate the swing fall hazard at the edges where a worker might fall.

b. The two back indicator lines will help you center the Green Center Steel Plates (Figure 7). FIGURE 7 Back indicator lines 4. Inspect that the d-ring is swiveling freely and that the nut and washer is in place, tight and secured. 5.
Instruction Manual PRODUCT DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY If the anchor needs to be disassembled in order to transport it or for whatever other reason, then the following steps should be taken: Disassembly: 1. Ensure that the anchor is on a safe and stable location where is can be safely disassembled and worker’s are not exposed to fall hazard.

5. Now all the Anchor Weights should be loose and you can pull them out freely by grabbing them by the Ergonomic Carry Handles (Figure 10). FIGURE 10 6. When the last Anchor Weight is removed the U - Bolt Rod will come loose and the anchor is now free to be move/transported to the desired location (Figure 11).

4. Once all these seps have been performed, your anchor should be inspected for the following: a. All weights on all sides are up against each other (Figure 16). FIGURE 16 b. Green Center Steel Plates are centered between the black center lines on the Vertical Steel Risers and socket head screws are not loose and well tightened up against the Anchor Weights.
