MAKING CONNECTIONS: All connections must be compatible in size, shape, and strength. See Figure 4 for examples of inappropriate connections. Do not attach snap hooks and carabiners: To a D-Ring to which another connector is attached. In a manner that would result in a load on the gate. Large-throat snap hooks should not be connected to D-Rings or other connecting elements, unless the snap hook has a gate strength of 16 kN (3,600 lbf) or greater.
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW: Anchorage connectors must be secured to an anchorage structure before they can be used. After this is done, users may secure to the product through its anchorage connection points. PLANNING: Plan your Fall Protection system before starting your work. Account for all factors that may affect your safety before, during, and after a fall.
